Full Description

About Joveo:

Every company says they're "AI-first." We actually are. Joveo's recruitment advertising platform processes millions of hiring decisions through machine learning, real-time bidding, and predictive analytics — helping the world's largest employers find the right people, faster and fairer.

But we're not done. Not even close.

The Role — In Plain English

You'll sit next to the Chief of Strategic Initiatives. Not in a support capacity — as a thinking partner. The person who takes a half-formed idea on a whiteboard Monday morning and turns it into a live initiative by Friday.

Your week might look like this:

* Monday: Tear apart a market entry model for a new geography. Find the flaw everyone missed.

* Tuesday: Build the business case for an AI product line that doesn't exist yet.

* Wednesday: Sit in a leadership meeting. Be the one who asks the question nobody else will.

* Thursday: Fly between three teams to unstick a cross-functional project that's been drifting for weeks.

* Friday: Present your recommendation directly to the CEO. Get the green light. Start building.

This is not a "senior associate" role that hands you a playbook. There is no playbook. You write it.

What Makes This Rare:

Most early-career roles give you a lane. This one gives you the entire map.

You'll see how a global AI company actually works — pricing decisions, product bets, market expansion, operational redesigns — and you won't just observe. You'll shape outcomes that show up in board decks and quarterly numbers.

Direct line to the CXO and CEO. Real projects with real stakes. No waiting three years for "meaningful work."

You Might Be Right For This If...

* You've spent 1–4 years in strategy, consulting, ops, or a founder's office — and you're hungry for more surface area

* You're the person friends call when they need to think through a hard problem

* Ambiguity doesn't paralyze you — it energizes you

* You can hold a conversation with an engineer at 10am and a board member at 2pm, and be credible in both

* You're genuinely fascinated by AI and the future of how people find work

* You've built something — a project, a team, a side hustle, a system — from zero

What You'll Get

* Altitude: Work on company-level problems from day one, not departmental tasks

* Speed: Joveo rewards people who move fast and own outcomes — not people who wait for permission

* Growth: This role has made previous hires into leaders across product, strategy, and operations

* Global exposure: Our teams, clients, and markets span multiple continents

* Compensation: Competitive. We don't underpay people we trust with strategic decisions.

If your dream job is one that doesn't fit neatly into a job title — apply.

Joveo. Where AI meets the future of work.
