Narrative:
Aircraft X; be-33 appeared on my racd about 4 NM northeast of the sfo airport tracking northwest bound. I had a departure I had just launched off of runway 01 right which was aircraft Y; A320 heading 030 for radar vectors to lin VOR. I observed aircraft X at 2000' and aircraft Y climbing through 1000' on their way to 15000 as assigned. My first action was to climb aircraft X to 2500' and stop aircraft Y at 2000' to ensure separation. Once altitude separation was being achieved; I got visual separation by both aircraft on each other and then shipped to norcal departure. Whatever sector this aircraft initially contacted at norcal approach should have never allowed this aircraft to proceed on the present heading directly toward our departure course of runway's 01. It placed aircraft Y & aircraft X in a very precarious position and put me in a very difficult position with very little time to react.
