Resident Talent Scout
Help identify the next generation of Junyo* Founders.
- Part-time
- Remote
- Resident Role
- Community Pool participation
We believe many of the most valuable future companies will be created by executives, scientists, engineers and senior industry experts.
Most of them are not looking for a job.
Most of them are not actively thinking about becoming founders.
Our mission is to find them.
We are looking for a Resident Talent Scout to help Junyo* identify, engage and activate future Founders*.
This is not a recruiting role
- You will not be filling vacancies.
- You will not be matching candidates to jobs.
- You will not be working with hiring managers.
Instead, you will help identify exceptional people who could eventually build companies through Junyo*.
The challenge is not just finding people.
The real challenge is helping the right people see an opportunity they may never have considered before.
What you will do
- Identify exceptional executives, scientists, engineers and senior technical experts.
- Use AI tools to discover talent at scale.
- Map industries, communities and expert networks.
- Build relationships and activate professional networks.
- Start conversations with senior profiles.
- Explain a non-obvious opportunity clearly and credibly.
- Qualify potential Founders* before introducing them to Junyo*.
- Help grow the Junyo* Founder pipeline.
Who we are looking for
You may come from executive search, recruiting, headhunting, business development, venture scouting, startup ecosystems, corporate innovation, consulting or community building.
More important than your background is your ability to identify exceptional people, open senior conversations and build trust quickly.
This role requires someone who can combine AI-native scouting with real human networking.
You should be able to find people online, but also know how to create warm introductions, attend relevant events, activate relationships and build credibility with senior profiles.
You should be good at
- Detecting talent that is not actively looking for opportunities.
- Speaking with senior executives, scientists and technical leaders.
- Selling an opportunity without overselling it.
- Using AI tools for research, sourcing and talent mapping.
- Building relationships through networking.
- Understanding whether expertise could become a company.
- Communicating Junyo* clearly to people who do not yet know they could become Founders*.
What this is not
- Not a salaried job.
- Not a traditional recruiting assignment.
- Not a freelance sourcing project.
- Not a commission-only role.
- Not a role for someone who only wants to screen CVs.
- Not a role for someone who measures success only by candidate volume.
Compensation
This is a Resident role within Junyo*.
