Your Mission
At Improbable, we're building ventures at the frontier of AI transformation, the metaverse, and web3. Great people are the foundation of every bold idea we help turn into a high-impact business - and we need an exceptional talent leader to make that happen.

You'll also take responsibility for the operational backbone of our talent function, from ATS reporting and data insights to scalable processes that enable growth. Working directly with founders, execs, and leaders across the venture ecosystem, you'll be the driving force behind the talent strategies that shape our future.
