Senior Content Designer Jobs in Santa Rosa, CA (NOW HIRING)

About Talentive by Be Additive Tech

Be Additive Tech’s Talentive platform www.mytalentive.com provides startups access to senior AI technical contractors from global markets - vetted, deeply skilled, and available within 2–3 weeks, at less than half the cost of equivalent local employees. Contractors are remote and fully integrated into our clients’ engineering teams, with flexible contract tenures ranging from three months to two plus years.

Be Additive operates subsidiaries in India and the Philippines and has established legal employment partnerships across 41 additional countries. We handle sourcing, vetting, compliance, and workforce management so that startups can scale quickly without friction or expansion overhead.

Be Additive is led by experienced founders and operators with deep expertise in recruiting, technology, and scaling global organizations. Our leadership team previously built and scaled a global recruiting company to nearly 1,000 employees serving hundreds of clients worldwide. We are building a modern AI-first company designed for the next generation of startups.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional entry-level sales role. We are looking for a highly ambitious, outgoing, entrepreneurial early-career professional to become the face of Talentive within the Silicon Valley AI and startup ecosystem.

You will spend your time immersed in the Bay Area startup community attending events, meeting founders, building relationships, creating content, identifying emerging AI companies, and helping generate sales opportunities for Talentive.

You will report directly to the Founder and CEO, work closely with senior management, and be given significantly more responsibility, visibility, and access to company leadership than is typical for an early-career position. You will gain firsthand exposure to:

• AI startups
• Founder-led sales
• Startup growth strategy
• Thought leadership marketing
• Community-driven business development

This role is ideal for someone who wants to build a career at the intersection of AI, startups, business development, community building, and entrepreneurship. For the right person, this is an opportunity to compress years of professional development into a much shorter period through direct CEO mentorship, unusual responsibility, participation with senior management, and daily immersion in the Silicon Valley AI ecosystem.

Career Growth and CEO Mentorship

This position is designed as an accelerated career opportunity. You will report directly to and work closely with Hank Levine, Founder and CEO of Be Additive Tech. Hank has built and led large sales and recruiting organizations and has personally trained and developed dozens of business development professionals. You will receive ongoing, hands-on coaching in relationship building, consultative selling, founder outreach, business strategy, and professional development.

Because most of Be Additive Tech's management team is located outside the United States, you will have unusual visibility and responsibility within the company from day one. You will interact directly with senior management and will have opportunities to contribute well beyond the normal scope of an early-career business development position.

We expect top performers to advance quickly. Someone who demonstrates the ability to generate business, build relationships, exercise good judgment, and take on increasing responsibility could move into a significantly more senior role within just a few years.

We also recognize that this role will put you in contact with many of Silicon Valley's most interesting AI companies, founders, and executives. As you build your reputation and network, other opportunities will inevitably emerge. Our goal is to make your growth trajectory, responsibilities, restricted stock ownership, and opportunities at Be Additive Tech compelling enough that you will want to build your career with us.

Exceptional performers will have the first opportunity for leadership roles spanning business development, partnerships, growth marketing, community leadership, startup ecosystem development, and founder relations.
