Portfolio Talent Lead

Who You Are:

As the Portfolio Talent Lead at Galaxy Ventures, you'll play a pivotal role in supporting our portfolio companies in building world-class teams. You'll work closely with early-stage crypto startups, assisting them in sourcing, recruiting, interviewing, and hiring top-tier talent. Your expertise in managing and scaling teams will be crucial in guiding these companies towards long-term success. You will work directly with our Venture Platform Lead on supporting portfolio companies and creating a great founder experience with Galaxy Ventures.

What You'll Do:

* Talent Sourcing:
Identify and attract top talent across various functions (engineering, product development, marketing, etc.) within the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

* Recruitment Strategy:
Develop and implement effective recruitment strategies tailored to each portfolio company's unique needs and stage of growth, ranging from hands-on to passive support based on their stage.

* Industry Networking:
Build and maintain a strong network within the crypto and blockchain community to stay informed about industry trends and talent movements.

* Hiring Process Management:
Help portfolio companies through the end-to-end hiring process, including offer negotiations, reference checks, and onboarding support.

* Team Scaling:
Collaborate with portfolio company leadership to assess current team structures, identify hiring needs, and develop plans for scaling teams effectively.

* HR Guidance:
Provide guidance and support on HR-related matters, including compensation benchmarking, performance management, and employee retention strategies.
