WHY JOIN IVO?

Contracts are the oldest business technology in human history. They allow us to collaborate: they define what we promise each other, how we work together, and what happens when things go wrong.

Ivo builds AI products that helps companies like Meta, Uber, IBM, Intel, DoorDash, Mitsubishi Electric, and Coinbase solve their most difficult contracting problems. We think that large language models have created an opportunity to fundamentally change how businesses collaborate with each other.

At Ivo you will work on challenging problems with colleagues who have high standards for each other, move fast, and care deeply about their craft.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Ivo is growing very aggressively, and hiring is at the center of that growth. Our Talent team is early, and we are building it to be the best in the industry. As a Junior Talent Partner, you will be a partner to the business: accountable for helping our leaders make the best hiring decisions possible, carrying the vision and goals of our leadership team into every search, and bringing back what only you can see from the market. Every Talent Partner at Ivo plays two roles: protecting the hiring bar, and guiding the process while advocating for the candidate.

• Partner with the business: Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and leaders. Apply leadership's standards to every search, report back what you see in the market (a comp band that's off, a role that's mis-scoped, a sourcing gap), and bring the data to the honest conversation when something needs to change.
• Protect the hiring bar: Screen thoroughly and pressure test candidates against what they'll actually be held to on the job. Dig in when something doesn't add up, assess consistently, document the reasoning behind every call, and calibrate continuously so every outcome sharpens the profile and strengthens your sourcing.
• Guide the process and advocate for the candidate: Own every step of the process. Make risks, concerns, opportunities, and upside visible so hirin
