VP of Recruiting Operations

Talent acquisition is failing at scale. Most people recognize it. Very few understand how to repair it.

This position is built for someone who does.

This role resides within People and Talent Operations, yet it functions primarily as a systems design and operational execution role, with hiring serving as the core domain. You are not required to be a hiring subject-matter expert. You are required to be an expert in constructing systems that produce measurable outcomes — systems that scale, repeat reliably, and withstand real-world operational stress.

The challenge is straightforward to articulate and difficult to deliver: architect and run a system that reliably attracts the right candidates into the organization, on schedule, meeting the appropriate quality threshold, and into positions where they thrive and remain. That system must function not only for straightforward, clearly scoped requests, but also for ambiguous, high-stakes, and non-standard scenarios. This role demands sustained ownership, sound judgment, and the discipline to resolve problems in ways that fortify the system instead of layering on complexity.

Stakeholder engagement is essential. You will collaborate with senior leaders who hold firm viewpoints, juggle conflicting priorities, and provide incomplete information. You will lack formal authority. Your success will depend on earning trust, identifying alignment, and transparently presenting trade-offs — upholding standards while ensuring stakeholders feel acknowledged and supported.

This is an AI-first operating environment. You will engage with AI tools daily, leveraging them to produce drafts, validate concepts, evaluate results, probe edge cases, and identify trends. You will not delegate concepts to engineers and wait for delivery. You will prototype, test, troubleshoot, document, and refine independently, then collaborate with technical partners when it is time to scale or productionize.

We also believe in transparency, because we respect your time. This role is not suited for everyone.

If any of the following describe you, this is probably not the right match:

• You favor problem diagnosis over end-to-end solution ownership
• You depend on authority, organizational hierarchy, or formal accountability structures to accomplish work
• You exclusively operate through engineers rather than engaging hands-on
• You interpret feedback or resistance as personal criticism instead of actionable input
• You concentrate on optimizing isolated components and overlook system-level consequences
• You are attracted to the concept of fixing broken systems more than the execution reality

This is a global, fully remote position offering significant autonomy paired with significant accountability. You must be accessible for a minimum of four hours during U.S. business hours on weekdays. Beyond that window, your schedule is primarily self-managed.

One final note, in the interest of transparency: our application process demands substantive effort. Most applicants dedicate considerable time because the nature of the role warrants it.

If reading this description energized rather than discouraged you, we would genuinely welcome your application.
