Kaizen is scaling fast on the government side, and our GTM hiring hasn't caught up to the pace of the business. We're standing up federal sales, building out G&A, and growing operations, all at once, and we need someone who can run point on that without a playbook handed to them. This isn't a role where you post a job and wait. You'll build relationships with candidates before they're looking, run a white-glove process end to end, and make Kaizen the kind of place people leave a good job for. The person who takes this on will shape how Kaizen hires for some of its highest-stakes, highest-visibility roles, at a company where every hire still meaningfully moves the needle.
This is a hybrid role based out of our New York or DC. Candidates must reside or be able to commute to New York City or DC to work out of our office at least four times a week (Monday - Thursday).
