Substack

Substack is a new media app that connects users with independent creators, ideas, and communities. Founded in 2017, it aims to empower publishers and enable subscribers to support the work they value, boasting over 5 million paid subscriptions across its network.

<div>
 Substack is building a new economic engine for culture, giving the brightest, most interesting, and most creative people on the internet the power of their own publishing platform. The terms of our culture should not be set by gate-keeping legacy media or chaos-fueling social media, but by the people who make and participate in that culture. Substack's model, based on direct subscriptions, has fueled an explosion of independent publishing. It empowers creators with economic autonomy, creative ownership, and a direct connection to their most engaged audiences.
 
 
 As a member of Substack&rsquo;s Activation team, you will be responsible for building and testing features that bring new readers to Substack and help them discover things they love &ndash; making improvements to discovery, onboarding, notifications, and recommendations on Substack and running A/B tests on key user flows. Engineers work in close partnership with designers, product thinkers, and our users to make it easier than ever for creators to make a living.

Occasionally support technical or engineering roles as needed</li></ul>
About You:<ul><li>
6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong focus on GTM roles (sales, marketing, business operations, partnerships)</li><li>
A genuine network and the instinct to use it &mdash; you know how to reach people who aren't actively looking</li><li>
Ashby experience strongly preferred; comfort with ATS dashboards, reporting, and workflow automation</li><li>
A track record of owning recruiting functions, not just executing reqs &mdash; you've built pipelines, improved processes, and pushed back when needed</li><li>
Sharp attention to detail and a high bar for reliability &mdash; you follow through, communicate proactively, and never let things fall through the cracks</li><li>
Comfort working in a fast-moving, lean environment where you'll have real ownership and real impact</li><li>
Bonus: experience hiring for technical or engineering roles</li></ul>
