We've raised Series B funding and reached 300+ million users worldwide, processing over 5 billion images annually and serving both small businesses and major enterprises like Amazon, DoorDash, and Decathlon through our mobile app, web platform, and API. We're a remote-friendly team of 100+ passionate builders giving e-commerce businesses superpowers to create visuals that help them grow, making the hardest parts of selling online disappear. We focus on craft, innovation, and collaboration, creating exceptional impact for e-commerce businesses worldwide. ## ROLE SUMMARY We're looking for a freelance Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to own end-to-end hiring across the business. You'll run searches across the full range of functions we hire for, build pipelines from scratch, and act as a real partner to hiring managers while collaborating closely with the Talent & People team and leaders across GTM, G&A, Product, and Engineering. Our Talent team works full-stack rather than by vertical, so nobody here is boxed into one function, although you may have a primary function to look after during a period of time. Your search list shifts as our hiring priorities do, keeping the work varied and giving you visibility across the whole company. In practice, a single quarter might have you running an Account Executive search, a Finance Manager role, and a Product Designer hire at the same time. Mission: 3-4 month freelance mission running to the end of the year, 4-5 days a week, with the possibility of renewal Location: Paris. The mission involves regular on-site collaboration with hiring managers, and we'd expect you on-site around 3 days a week. Start date: ideally early October, with some flexibility for the right person. ## ABOUT THE ROLE - Own the full recruitment cycle, from kickoff and sourcing through to screening and offer. We hold a high bar for candidate experience here: timely, meaningful feedback at every stage, and nobody is left without an answer, no matter where they are in the process. - Take on searches across any part of the business, moving between GTM, G&A, Product, and Engineering depending on where our hiring priorities sit. You'd typically be running 5 to 7 live roles at a time. - Source actively for most of your roles, as that's where the majority of our pipeline comes from. We care about quality and personalised outreach rather than volume, and you'll balance that with inbound applications and referrals, ensuring your sourcing reaches a genuinely diverse candidate pool. - Partner closely with hiring managers to sharpen role scoping, calibrate on what good looks like, and guide them through selection and offer decisions. - Balance delivery with improvement. Filling roles comes first, but we expect you to leave our process better than you found it: use pipeline data to spot bottlenecks, and build the tooling and automations that take repetitive work off your plate. We're an AI company, so we encourage AI-native work here rather than something you squeeze in on the side. ## ABOUT YOU - You have 5+ years of recruiting experience, in-house, embedded, or agency-side, with a proven range across very different functions rather than depth in a single vertical. What matters to us is that you've owned searches end-to-end and partnered directly with hiring managers, not just delivered shortlists. - You get up to speed quickly on functions you haven't hired for before, using hiring manager conversations, market research, and your own judgment rather than waiting to be taught. - You have a strong track record in proactive sourcing and can walk us through hard searches you've filled in the past, including how you built the pipeline. - You're an excellent communicator and a proven closer, comfortable holding your own with senior stakeholders across any function. - You're hands-on with tools and automation. You can point to something you built, automated, or streamlined that made your hiring work faster or better, whether that's an ATS workflow, a sourcing automation, or an AI-assisted part of your process. We use Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Claude. - You're based in or around Paris, comfortable with regular on-site collaboration, and can start within a short notice period. If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please still apply. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit. ## MISSION DETAILS - 3-4 month mission, running to the end of the year, 4 to 5 days a week, with the possibility of renewal depending on hiring needs and how the collaboration goes - Regular on-site collaboration with hiring managers in our central Paris office, around 3 days a week - Access to the tools you need to deliver, including our ATS (Ashby), LinkedIn Recruiter, and AI tools (ex: Claude, Notion AI) - Direct access to decision makers, so you can move fast without long approval chains ## HIRING PROCESS 1. Screening call with Talent Manager (30min) 2. Interview with Hiring Manager (30 to 45 min) 3. Short sourcing task (1 hour, sent ahead of the review call) and review call with the team (45min) 4. Culture fit interview (45min) 5. Offer Support: We value diversity and aim to create an inclusive experience for all applicants. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make the process more accessible for you. DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING We're committed to enabling everyone to feel included and valued at work. We believe our company and culture are strongest when composed of diverse experiences and backgrounds. That's also why we have flexible working hours, trust people to work remotely, and extended parental leave. All qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to age, color, family, gender identity, marital status, national origin, physical or mental disability, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws. ## About Photoroom ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Photoroom is an AI-powered visual production platform that enables e‑commerce businesses to create professional product images at scale. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B, $63.3M total funding) - **Headquarters**: New York, United States (with a major office in Paris, France) - **Founded**: 2019 - **Founders**: Matt (surname not publicly available) and Eliot Andres ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: AI photo editing and visual production for e‑commerce - **Target customers**: B2B (SMB to enterprise) and B2C (mobile app users) - **Mission / Purpose**: “Enable entrepreneurs and small businesses to compose images that stand out” (photoroom.com/company) and “Sell at first sight” (photoroom.com) ## Products & Services - **Mobile App**: AI-powered photo editor with background removal, text, and effects – used daily by millions; featured by Apple and Google. - **Image API**: REST API for integrating AI editing (background removal, batch processing) into existing workflows; supports custom endpoints and Brand Kit rules. - **Batch Edit**: Run AI edits across thousands of images in one pass via API or web app; includes automated QA and brand-rule enforcement. - **Marketplace Sync**: Publish on-brand images directly to Shopify and other marketplace feeds. - **Brand Kit**: Centralized rules for backgrounds, padding, colors, logos, and formats – applied automatically with role‑based access. - **Custom AI Models**: Enterprise‑only models trained on a customer’s own catalog for product fidelity. - **Enterprise Plan**: Custom models, dedicated capacity, SLA‑backed uptime, SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, and GDPR adherence. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: $500 million (Forbes, as of early 2024) - **Key Metric**: $11 million annual revenue (LinkedIn estimate); $63.3 million total funding - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator, Balderton Capital, Aglaé Ventures, Adjacent, Nico Wittenborn, and Yann LeCun (advisor) - **Growth Signals**: - 1 million+ businesses using the platform - 7 billion images processed per year - Profitable – one of the few profitable generative AI startups (TechCrunch) - Headcount of 159 employees, up 30.5% YoY - Acquired GenerateBanners in May 2025 - #1 mobile app in 40+ countries ## Competitive Advantages - **E‑commerce‑specific AI**: Models built to hold product details accurately, reducing mismatches between listing and delivery. - **Brand consistency at scale**: Brand Kit enforces rules automatically across all channels, eliminating manual QA. - **No vendor lock‑in**: REST API allows customers to swap models without rewriting workflows. - **Enterprise‑grade trust**: SOC 2 Type 2 certified, GDPR compliant, and backed by an Enterprise Guarantee (pay only for passing outputs). - **Custom AI models**: Trained on a customer’s own catalog for superior fidelity. ## Strategic Focus - **Enterprise expansion**: Growing the B2B Enterprise segment with custom models, dedicated capacity, and SLA‑backed uptime. - **Automation at scale**: Deepening batch editing, marketplace sync, and API integrations to handle millions of SKUs. - **AI model leadership**: Continuously improving proprietary models while offering flexibility to adopt new ones. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: “Small team, BIG impact” – emphasis on quality over quantity in hiring, “ship fast to learn,” “build it, own it,” and “stay open.” - **Work environment**: Remote options available for many roles (Paris or remote in France); offices in Paris and New York. - **Values**: Candid feedback, transparency, and personal growth. - **Tech stack**: FastAPI, Async Python, Rust, modern cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, Cloudflare). - **Perks**: Profitable and fast‑growing company, opportunities to work on cutting‑edge AI, and a product used by millions. - **Open roles**: Senior engineers (SRE, backend, Rust), product managers, designers, marketing, and legal – 55 active job postings (as of mid‑2025). ## Sources 1.
