VP of Recruiting Operations

$200,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($100 USD/hour)

Most organizations recognize that hiring doesn't work the way it should. Very few understand how to make it work.

This role exists for those who do.

Although this position resides within People and Talent Operations, it functions primarily as a systems design and operations role applied to the hiring domain. You will not be required to hold deep subject-matter expertise in recruiting itself. You will be required to excel at constructing systems that produce measurable outcomes — systems that scale, repeat reliably, and remain effective under real operational pressure.

The challenge is straightforward to articulate but difficult to deliver: architect and sustain a system that reliably attracts the right talent, on schedule, at the appropriate quality threshold, and into positions where they perform and remain. That system must function not only for clearly scoped requests, but also for ambiguous, high-stakes, and atypical scenarios. This role demands continuous ownership, sound judgment, and the rigor to address problems in ways that reinforce the system rather than introduce unnecessary complexity.

Managing stakeholders is essential. You will engage with senior leaders who hold firm opinions, juggle conflicting priorities, and provide incomplete information. You will not possess formal authority. Your effectiveness will depend on earning trust, establishing alignment, and making trade-offs explicit — upholding standards while ensuring stakeholders feel acknowledged and supported.

This is an AI-first operating environment. You will interact with AI tools hands-on every day, leveraging them to draft content, validate concepts, evaluate results, probe edge cases, and identify patterns. You will not delegate ideas to engineers and wait for implementation. You will prototype, experiment, document failures, iterate rapidly, and collaborate with technical partners only when it is time to scale or harden a solution.

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

If any of the following describe you, this is likely not the right opportunity:

• You gravitate toward diagnosing issues rather than owning solutions through completion
• You rely on formal authority, organizational hierarchy, or defined ownership to advance work
• You delegate technical execution to engineers rather than engaging directly
• You interpret feedback or resistance as criticism rather than as informative input
• You optimize isolated components without considering system-level consequences
• You are drawn to the concept of fixing broken systems more than the work required to do so

This is a global, remote position characterized by significant autonomy and equally significant accountability. You are required to maintain availability for a minimum of four hours overlapping U.S. business hours on weekdays. Beyond that, you control your own schedule.

Finally, in the interest of honesty: our application process demands substantial effort. Most candidates commit significant time because the role itself demands it.

If reading this description made you more interested — not less — we would welcome your application.
