Top Down is a full-service investment firm providing capital and scaling expertise to emerging software companies on the verge of greatness. We specialize in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) markets and bring deep experience across operations, sales, and marketing. In addition to investment capital, we actively support our portfolio companies with proven go-to-market expertise, allowing founders and leadership teams to stay focused on product development, engineering, and management while we help navigate growth and scale.

Our mission is to accelerate the MSP industry’s march toward a trillion dollars this decade by giving SaaS startups access to smarter capital and specialized industry know-how. Our vision is to be the market-defining MSP SaaS venture capital firm and excellent talent paired with strong processes is often where we shine. You’ve built a strong track record — likely a blend of agency intensity and in-house partnership — and now you want ownership: of searches, of relationships, and of a talent program you get to build and make your own.

As our Director of Talent, you’ll be the talent engine behind a portfolio of scaling SaaS and MSP companies. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with founders, executives, and hiring managers across multiple businesses, understanding how each one creates impact in its industry, and bringing them the talent that fuels their next stage of growth. It’s the best of both worlds: the pace and variety of agency work, with the depth, trust, and proximity to the business that only an in-house seat provides.

You’ll also shape how we recruit. We’re building a modern, AI-forward talent program that uses AI to move faster and reach further at every stage of the funnel, while keeping human connection at the heart of every candidate and hiring manager relationship. Design and own how Top Down recruits across the portfolio: the playbooks,



the processes, the tooling, and the standards that make hiring a competitive advantage for every company we back.

Lead full-cycle recruiting across go-to-market, technical, and operational roles for multiple portfolio companies, including intake, sourcing, assessment, offer strategy, and close. Build an exceptional SaaS and MSP network. Be a true partner to hiring managers.

Build pipelines and processes that bring exceptional people in quickly without ever trading quality for velocity. Bring exceptional AI knowledge and efficiency to the program across sourcing, research, outreach personalization, screening, and workflow automation, while ensuring every candidate and hiring manager feels a genuinely human experience. Agency-trained, in-house-hearted.

You’ve lived the pace, rigor, and business development of agency recruiting — and you’ve learned you do your best work close to the business, connected to hiring managers and invested in outcomes beyond the placement. Candidates trust you, hiring managers seek you out, and your network keeps growing because people genuinely enjoy working with you. You can move between companies, stages, and skill sets in a single day without losing the thread — and you find energy in that variety.

You’re already using AI to recruit smarter, and you have a point of view on where it accelerates the funnel and where the human touch is non-negotiable. You want ownership, you manage your own priorities, and you hold yourself to outcomes, not activity.

Experience recruiting within or for SaaS, MSP, or broader B2B technology companies. Exposure to venture capital, private equity, or multi-company portfolio environments. Familiarity with modern ATS platforms and AI recruiting tools. Agency-style variety across multiple companies, industries, and stages, with in-house depth, trust, and impact. A front-row seat in venture capital. In-office collaboration with real flexibility. #
