About the team
CoreWeave is the Essential Cloud for AI at the center of the AI compute buildout supporting AI pioneers. Our Executive Recruiting team hires the leaders who will shape how the world's AI cloud gets built - partnering directly with our CEO, ELT, and the leaders of every critical function to map markets, build pipelines years ahead of need, and run VP+, C-level, and Principal+ searches end-to-end.
This is a small, high-bar team operating with the rigor of a top retained firm at the pace of a hypergrowth company.
About the role
We're hiring an Executive Researcher to build a modern, AI-powered research and strategic sourcing practice that powers every executive search at CoreWeave.
This role sits at the leading edge of how executive research gets done. You'll pair strong primary research craft with the best AI sourcing, talent intelligence, and automation tools on the market, partnering with Executive Recruiters and senior business leaders on the highest-stakes searches in the company. You'll have the latitude, the tooling, and the runway to define what executive research looks like at one of the most important AI infrastructure companies in the world.
What you'll do

• 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 your 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 what the talent market actually looks like and set realistic expectations on timeline, 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 are misaligned 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, in a way that gives leaders the confidence to move quickly.

Who you are

• 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) - not just GTM and G&A.
• Fluent with modern executive research tools, AI sourcing platforms, and automation. You think in leverage - how to do more, faster, with fewer hands.
• You ship executive-grade deliverables. Talent maps, dossiers, and market briefs polished enough to put in front of a CEO. You can show your work.
• Strong written communication. You can synthesize a messy market into a one-page brief that an ELT member will actually read - and act on.
• High discretion and judgment with confidential executive information.
• Operates with full ownership and minimal supervision. Comfortable defining scope, deliverables, and timelines without being told.

Bonus points

• Prior experience at a top retained executive search firm.
• Direct domain knowledge of AI/ML infrastructure, GPU cloud, hyperscalers, or semiconductors.
• Track record of standing up or modernizing an executive research function using AI and automation.
• Board-level research experience (board mapping, director landscapes, BoardEx fluency).
