Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in talent operations, or HR operations.
- 4+ years managing a team of coordinators and operations specialists at a scaling technology company.
- Deep expertise with Greenhouse ATS or a comparable enterprise applicant tracking system, including administration, workflow configuration, custom reporting, and integration management.
- Experience driving SLA compliance and process adherence across a distributed recruiting team — you have built the dashboards, set the targets, and held people accountable.
- Experience managing recruiting coordination at scale (100+ hires per quarter), including complex multi-timezone scheduling, onsite coordination, and high-volume offer processing.
- Track record of successfully deploying new recruiting technology — AI tools, scheduling automation, assessment platforms — with measurable adoption and impact metrics.
- Project management capability to run multiple concurrent workstreams (roadmap execution, tool deployment, process redesign) without dropping priorities.
- Experience with global hiring operations, particularly EMEA compliance, offer letter localization, and navigating local employment requirements.
- Data-oriented mindset — you use pipeline metrics, SLA data, and process analytics to identify bottlenecks and make decisions, not intuition alone.
Nice to Have
- Experience supporting a German entity setup, including familiarity with German employment compliance.
- Background in aerospace, hardware, or manufacturing recruiting operations where compliance requirements such as export control and security clearances add operational complexity.
- Experience with headcount planning and approval workflow tools that integrate with HRIS and finance systems.
- Lean Six Sigma, PMP, or similar process improvement credentials that demonstrate operational rigor.
- Experience building or rebuilding a talent operations function from the ground up — including establishing SLAs, standing up reporting, and creating documentation where little or none existed.
