Hiring doesn't work. Most people recognize this. Very few understand how to solve it.

This role is built for those who do.

While this position lives within People and Talent Operations, it functions as a systems design and operations role where hiring is the operating domain. You will not be required to serve as a subject-matter expert in recruitment. Instead, you are expected to excel at constructing systems that produce measurable outcomes — systems that scale, repeat, and hold up under the demands of real-world execution.

The challenge is straightforward to articulate but difficult to deliver: architect and run a system that reliably places the right talent into the business, on schedule, meeting the appropriate quality threshold, and into positions where they perform well and remain. This system must handle not only structured, well-scoped requests but also the unclear, high-stakes, and nonstandard scenarios. The role demands continuous ownership, sound judgment, and the rigor to address problems in ways that reinforce the system rather than introduce layers of complexity.

Managing stakeholders is essential. You will engage with senior leaders who bring strong perspectives, conflicting priorities, and incomplete information. You will operate without formal authority. Success will come from earning trust, identifying shared objectives, and making trade-offs visible — maintaining standards while ensuring stakeholders feel understood and supported.

This is an AI-first workplace. You will interact with AI tools daily, leveraging them to draft, test hypotheses, evaluate results, examine edge cases, and identify trends. You will not submit ideas to engineers and wait for output. Instead, you will build, experiment, document, troubleshoot, and iterate independently, then collaborate with others when scaling or hardening becomes necessary.

We also believe in transparency, because we respect your time. This role will not suit everyone.

If any of these statements describe you, this is likely not the right match:

• You are more comfortable diagnosing issues than owning end-to-end delivery
• You rely on authority, organizational hierarchy, or designated owners to accomplish work
• You delegate to engineers rather than engaging directly with the work yourself
• You interpret feedback or challenge as personal criticism instead of actionable input
• You optimize isolated components without considering system-level impact
• You are drawn to the concept of repairing broken systems more than the execution of doing so

This is a remote, global position offering significant autonomy paired with high accountability. You are required to be available for a minimum of four hours during U.S. business hours on weekdays. Beyond that window, your schedule is mostly flexible.

Finally, in the interest of clarity: our application process demands genuine effort. Most applicants dedicate substantial time, reflecting the nature of the role itself.

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