Business Development Representative

Working at RippleMatch:

At RippleMatch, we are building the recruitment automation platform changing how Gen Z finds work. The current status quo of finding a first job is broken: Traditional career services and job boards with millions of postings aren't very helpful, and figuring out where to begin your career is a difficult and overwhelming decision. It's also not a fair contest. For many Gen Z candidates, opportunity is limited based on where they attend school and their personal networks.

By replacing job boards with matching and automation, RippleMatch eliminates the most time-intensive parts of the recruitment process for both employers and job seekers. Leading employers such as Amazon, eBay, and Teach For America leverage RippleMatch to build diverse, high-performing teams and Gen Z job seekers across the country trust RippleMatch to launch and grow their careers.

Since launching RippleMatch from a college dorm room in 2016, we've raised $79 million in venture funding (most recently, our $45m Series B), helped tens of thousands of users find jobs, expanded to 1,500+ colleges & universities, and brought on hundreds of leading employers as customers. Our tight-knit team of 130+ (& growing!) talented people work hard, celebrate wins, and care deeply about changing the way finding a job works.
