Founding Business Leader (Agentic AI Talent Intelligence) - Global AI-Native Tech Talent Venture

SkillsCapital · India

Seeking an exceptional Founding Business Leader to lead and scale SkillsCapital's Agentic AI-Driven Talent Intelligence / Talent Intelligence-as-a-Service business globally.

This is not a zero-to-one role : the business model and product/technology are validated; customers have demonstrated willingness to pay; paid customers are onboarded/onboarding; core technology is production-ready and deployed; and key team members are in place.

Mandate: build the commercial engine and organization for global scale with founders/leadership across customer acquisition, revenue, partnerships, market expansion, product adoption, and organizational scale.

SkillsCapital is an AI-native Talent Intelligence platform helping organizations discover, evaluate, and deploy specialized technology talent across SAP, Cloud, AI/ML, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Data, and Enterprise Technology .

Technology:

• AI-Native Talent Intelligence & Talent Engine
• Agentic AI
• Intelligent matching and evaluation
• Semantic intelligence
• Workflow automation
• Talent data and intelligence
• Expert-led validation
• Delivery-readiness intelligence

Over the past year, we launched the production-ready platform and AI-Native Talent Engine; developed proprietary AI/Talent Intelligence and Agentic AI workflows; established customer relationships across the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and Middle East ; achieved a multi-million-dollar annual run rate ; bootstrapped to profitability ; built a growing network of deeply vetted technology professionals; and established the foundation for global growth.

SkillsCapital is building AI-Native Talent Intelligence for global technology hiring and workforce delivery.

We aim to transform how staffing companies, consulting firms, technology companies, and enterprises:

• Discover specialized talent and understand talent markets
• Screen, evaluate, match, and validate professionals
• Assess delivery readiness
• Manage talent workflows and build specialist teams
• Make faster, more confident talent decisions

Our model combines Talent Intelligence + Agentic AI + Deep Domain Intelligence + Workflow Automation to create an intelligence/execution layer for specialized technology talent , rather than another database, ATS, search engine, or chatbot.

• Technology: AI-Native Talent Intelligence platform and Talent Engine are operational.
• Agentic AI: End-to-end AI-driven workflows are deployed in real talent processes.
• Product: Validated with real customers and refined against actual requirements.
• Customers: Paid customers are onboarded; others are onboarding.
• Demand: Commercial demand and willingness to pay are proven.
• Team: Product, technology, delivery, sales, and other critical capabilities are in place.
• Opportunity: Build a repeatable, scalable global business.

You'll inherit a proven platform, operational AI engine, deployed Agentic AI capabilities, validated demand, vetted talent ecosystem, existing team, international market exposure, and founder/leadership support .

Mandate: Take what has already been built and validated—and scale it aggressively.

Own Talent Intelligence growth with founders; define revenue targets, growth strategy, target markets, ICPs, vertical priorities, product commercialization, KPIs, and expansion strategy .

Build a repeatable enterprise acquisition engine through enterprise/strategic sales, consultative selling, partner-led growth, channels, account expansion, thought leadership, and industry relationships.

Target customers: staffing companies, recruitment firms, technology consulting firms, system integrators, IT services companies, global enterprises, and specialist technology businesses .

Own Early Commercial Traction → Repeatable Revenue → Significant Global Scale , including pricing, packaging, enterprise contracts, sales processes, account expansion, cross-selling, recurring revenue, strategic partnerships, and new commercial models.

Build Positioning → Demand Generation → Qualification → Demo → Pilot → Conversion → Expansion ; improve messaging, sales narratives, demos, proposals, pilots, conversion rates, sales cycles, and expansion.

Identify priority geographies, industries, ICPs, channels, and entry strategies across the US, UK, Europe, Middle East, Australia, and other high-value global markets .

Build relationships with staffing/recruitment firms, IT services and consulting organizations, system integrators, technology platforms, HR technology companies, industry associations, talent networks, and specialist communities to create distribution, demand, and ecosystem leverage .

With product/technology leadership, prioritize AI capabilities, Agentic workflows, talent intelligence, matching, evaluation, delivery readiness, talent market intelligence, automation, enterprise workflows, analytics, and reporting around commercially valuable problems.

You will not manage engineering ; you will ensure:

Technology capability → Customer value → Commercial opportunity

Drive adoption, usage, workflow penetration, engagement, account expansion, renewal, and cross-sell .

Operate across Product + Technology + Sales + Marketing + Delivery + Customer Success + Partnerships + Operations , ensuring one business, clear priorities, and accountability.

With key team members already in place, build selectively across enterprise sales, account management, partnerships, marketing, customer success, product, solutions, and operations to create a high-performance, globally scalable organization .

We want someone who has taken a validated technology/business proposition and scaled it commercially .

Relevant backgrounds: Enterprise SaaS, AI/technology, HRTech, TalentTech, recruitment technology, staffing, IT services, consulting, B2B platforms, enterprise software, marketplaces, or AI-enabled business models .

Core requirements:

• Strong enterprise commercial judgment and complex technology sales experience
• Strong GTM and revenue-scaling capabilities
• Strategic relationship-building and negotiation skills
• Product understanding and executive communication
• Cross-functional leadership, high ownership, and execution orientation
• Entrepreneurial mindset

Particularly valuable:

• Existing staffing/recruitment/IT services relationships
• AI or SaaS platform sales
• Enterprise transformation experience
• CXO selling
• International business development
• Scaling a new business or product line

Role fit: commercially sharp, resourceful, entrepreneurial, customer obsessed, comfortable with ambiguity, relationship-oriented, data-driven, decisive, execution-oriented, and outcome-focused ; able to move between Strategy → Customer → Product → Sales → Partnerships → Revenue → Operations .

You need not be the deepest AI expert, but must understand enough about AI, enterprise technology, and talent workflows to translate technology into business value .

You'll lead a validated AI-native technology business with real customers and traction; leverage the operational AI-Native Talent Engine and deployed Agentic AI workflows ; work directly with founders; shape global enterprise GTM and partnerships; own revenue growth; influence product commercialization; expand internationally; build the next stage of the organization; and potentially build a major global Talent Intelligence-as-a-Service business.

This is not about proving the product works; it is about building the global business around technology that works, customers who pay, and a validated model.

Founding Business Leader — Own growth, commercialization, enterprise expansion, and market development.

↓

General Manager / VP — Own a significant global Talent Intelligence business with increasing revenue, organizational, and strategic responsibility.

↓

President / Chief Business Officer — Potentially own the entire Talent Intelligence business as a major independent SkillsCapital business.

Progression depends on revenue growth, customer acquisition, strategic impact, organizational scale, and leadership .

This is a senior entrepreneurial leadership opportunity with significant long-term upside , including:

• Competitive base compensation and performance-based incentives
• Meaningful equity / ownership and long-term wealth creation potential
• Increasing compensation/ownership as the business scales
• Significant upside tied to revenue and business value creation

For the right person, this can become a founding-level business leadership position with meaningful participation in value created.

Best suited to someone excited by ownership, enterprise technology, AI, revenue, global scale, entrepreneurship, and long-term value creation .
