Senior Recruiter

<h2><strong>About Us</strong></h2> <p>Proton is building the AI infrastructure for wholesale distribution, embedded in the workflows that move nearly every physical product on the planet. Distribution is a $9 trillion industry, and the software that runs it has been stuck in the past for decades — most tools create more work than they eliminate. We unify CRM, PIM, eCommerce AI, and Order &amp; Quote Entry AI into one platform with one data layer and one AI brain, so reps spend their time deepening customer relationships, not entering data.</p> <p>We hire people with high agency and high urgency. At Proton, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and ships AI-native software faster than anyone else in the category.</p> <p>The median Proton customer reports 3x profit return per dollar spent, an extra day of sales per rep per month, and&nbsp;<em>“the best ROI of any tech investment in 30 years.”</em>&nbsp;Hundreds of leading distributors — from family-owned shops to publicly-traded enterprises across industrial, HVAC, and electrical — run on Proton. We’re backed by Felicis Ventures (Twitch, Shopify, Opendoor) and Battery Ventures.</p> <p>If you want to build the brand and the content engine that shape how trillions of dollars of physical goods move through the economy, Proton is the place to do it.</p> <h2><strong>The Role</strong></h2> <p>We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Senior Recruiter to drive our hiring strategy and recruiting execution.
