Talent Programs & Early Career Recruiter

Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their communities and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live experiences, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.

Ultimately our goal is to fund the creative class. We have: $8 billion+ in revenue generated since Patreon's inception 60 million+ free new memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay yet, and 10 million+ fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community. We're investing in building the best creator platform and are looking for an Early Careers Recruiter to support our mission.

This role is based in San Francisco and requires in-office presence on Mondays and Wednesdays as part of a hybrid work model. The schedule is subject to change based on business needs.

This Role Might Not be a Fit If:

• You prefer a fully defined plan before getting started. We’re looking for someone who can build and execute a full-year recruiting plan with minimal guidance.

• You find ambiguity challenging. As a growing company, change is a constant, and adaptability is key to success in this role.

• You prefer to work independently rather than collaboratively. While you’ll own and drive the program, cross-functional partnership is essential for its success.

• You prefer a fully remote role with no travel. This role involves building university relationships, which will require spending time on various campuses and attending conferences.

• You’re looking to specialize in only one area. This role will flex across multiple areas of expertise, so if you prefer to solely focus on early career recruiting, this might not be the best fit.
