About the role

Executive Researcher role to build a modern, AI-powered research and strategic sourcing practice for VP+, C-level, and Principal+ executive searches at CoreWeave. You will pair primary research with AI sourcing tools, partner with Executive Recruiters and senior leaders, and define what executive research looks like for a leading AI infrastructure company.

Responsibilities

  • Own primary research end-to-end for every VP+, C-level, and Principal+ search — name generation, talent mapping, market landscaping, org charting, and competitive intelligence.
  • Build a modern, AI-powered research stack. Evaluate and integrate the best AI sourcing tools, talent intelligence platforms, and automation to compound the speed and quality of output.
  • Ship executive-grade deliverables every search: target company lists, diverse longlists, candidate dossiers, comp benchmarks, calibration packs, and market signals briefs.
  • Partner directly with Executive Recruiters and senior business leaders from search kickoff to close. Co-author position specs, search strategy docs, and calibration with hiring leaders.
  • Build and maintain living talent maps for CoreWeave’s critical functions — AI infrastructure, GPU cloud, ML systems, datacenter operations, GTM, product, and G&A leadership.
  • Run recurring market intelligence on executive movement, leadership departures, funding events, M&A signal, and comp shifts at target companies.
  • Present market intelligence, sourcing realities, and calibration data directly to VP+ and C-level hiring leaders. Educate stakeholders on talent market realities, timelines, availability, and trade-offs.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders throughout the search. Push back with data and conviction when role requirements, timelines, or candidate expectations misalign with market realities.
  • Tell a story behind each candidate. Articulate why a profile matters, how they fit the role and company context, and what makes them worth pursuing to enable quick decisions.

Qualifications

  • 6–10+ years of executive search research, talent intelligence, or executive sourcing experience supporting VP+, C-level, and Principal+ hiring.
  • Mastery of primary research methodology — name generation, off-LinkedIn sourcing, market calls, referral chains, board mapping, and confidential executive outreach.
  • Track record contributing to and closing executive searches in technical domains (engineering, infrastructure, AI/ML, product).
  • Fluent with modern executive research tools, AI sourcing platforms, and automation. Ability to scale output with leverage.
  • Ability to ship executive-grade deliverables: talent maps, dossiers, and market briefs polished for executive audiences.
  • Strong written communication capable of turning messy markets into concise briefs for ELT members.
  • High discretion and judgment with confidential executive information.
  • Ownership mindset with minimal supervision; able to define scope, deliverables, and timelines autonomously.
