About Nascent…
Founded in 2020, Nascent exists to build, expand, and capture opportunity, in open markets and permissionless technologies. Building from a base of permanent capital, we deploy assets across a range of both liquid and long-term strategies that ensure we are among the most active users of the open financial system we are helping to build. We’ve made venture investments in 50+ early-stage teams that we believe have the potential to create substantive change, expand boundaries, and find new horizons. We are consistently on the hunt for the most competitive and curious minds exploring the edges of the crypto ecosystem and leverage our hyper flexible structure to accelerate ideas into fully deployed strategies.
The Opportunity
As Talent Lead you’ll be the driving force behind our recruiting, hiring, and onboarding work. From pioneering sourcing strategies to ensure Nascent remains a magnet for exceptional talent, to delivering high impact onboarding experiences that set our new team members up to crush it, you will have the opportunity to dramatically impact our people and culture. This may be the role for you if you excel at crafting compelling job descriptions and leveraging language to attract the right talent and love supporting managers to design interview processes that lead to effective decision making and exceptional candidate experiences.
The right candidate will bring a strong building mindset and fascination (obsession) with leveraging tools/technology to automate and optimize as much work as possible. This is a role for a high-agency strategic do’er who sees opportunities vs challenges and takes every chance they can to level-up. This is a remote position with opportunities to travel for in-person collaboration and two annual retreats.
