About The Generalist Company

We're making it radically easier for founders to find the talent they actually need, and for operators to do their most impactful and meaningful work.

We exist because founders waste time, effort and money on mis-scoped roles, mismatched skill sets, and slow recruiting - while brilliant generalists and operators struggle to find work that values their range and impact.

We fix that. We connect high-context talent with high-growth opportunities: freelance, fractional, contract, or full-time. Whether it’s a launch, a turnaround, or a first hire, we bring in the right people at the right moment. It’s faster, sharper, and built on trust.

At a glance

• Location: Remote (global opportunities)

• Compensation: You set your rate - freelance/contract, fractional, or full-time

• Contract Type: Flexible - project-based, deployments, part-time, full-time

• Start Date: Ongoing - join the pool, we’ll match you when the fit is right

About our opportunities

We work with some of the most ambitious early-stage startups and growing scale-ups - and they’re looking for people like you.

This is for operators who want to be where it matters - not on the sidelines.

Operators who know how to bring new products to market, build commercial engines from scratch, and turn strategy into traction. Whether you’re stepping into a launch moment, growing a pipeline, or scaling demand - these are roles that matter.

You might come in as a consultant, embed for a few months, or step into something more permanent. The shape varies. The impact doesn’t.

This isn’t about finding a job. It’s about finding work that matches your craft, your curiosity, and your capacity to drive real results.

The kinds of disciplines and roles we match for

You don’t need to fit neatly into a box - but here's an idea of what we're talking about:

• Product Marketing → Product Marketing Manager, PMM, Head of PMM

• Sales → BDR/SDR, Account Execs, Enterprise AE, Sales Ops Lead

• Growth Marketing → Growth Lead, Performance Marketer, Demand Gen Manager

• Customer Success → CSM, Head of CS, Onboarding Manager

• Partnerships & BD → BD Lead, Channel Partnerships, Strategic Alliances

You might go deep on one discipline or span multiple. That’s the beauty of this pool.

Who you are

You’re not just doing the job - you own the outcome. You’ve likely thrived in startup or scale-up environments, and know how to balance strategic thinking with getting your hands dirty.

Some traits we often see in great-fit candidates:

• You’re entrepreneurial - you spot opportunities and act on them

• You’re outcome-obsessed - activity is nice, results are better

• You’re data-led - but know when to move without perfect info

• You’re scrappy - you make it happen, whatever the constraints

• You’re collaborative - you work seamlessly with other operators and disciplines

• You’re story-driven - you can take a complex product and make it land with customers

• You’re curious - always levelling up on new tools and tactics

This might not be for you if…

• You prefer corporate stability over scrappy growth environments

• You avoid direct accountability for outcomes like revenue or adoption

• You want to specialise in one channel instead of experimenting broadly

• Ambiguity around metrics or goals frustrates you

• Fast pivots or context switching throw you off balance

• You’d rather wait for perfect data than test and learn

• You resist feedback, iteration, or adjusting plays on the fly

What you can expect

Joining means you're on our radar for exciting roles that match your zone of expertise. Here’s how it works:

• Step 1: You’ll apply

• Step 2: You’ll connect with us — we’ll explore your experience, craft, and fit

You won’t hear from us every week. But when you do, it’ll be for something relevant and real.
