Job Level
About the role
- Execute the Talent Acquisition strategy and operating model defined by TA leadership by designing new workflows, not reinforcing old ones
- Identify recruiting practices that persist due to habit rather than value and lead their replacement through technology and automation
- Translate strategic direction into scalable systems, processes, and decision frameworks
- Design recruiting workflows that intentionally reduce human intervention where signal quality supports automation
- Own day-to-day enterprise relationships with recruiting technology partners including Ashby, LinkedIn, Humanly, Jove, and emerging platforms
- Push vendors beyond default configurations to support evolving recruiting models
- Lead experimentation, pilots, and iterative adoption of new features and capabilities
- Partner with vendors to improve how candidate signals are surfaced earlier and used more effectively
- Lead the application of AI and automation to replace repetitive recruiter tasks and improve screening and prioritization
- Establish clear principles for what should be automated, AI-assisted, or human-led
- Continuously test, refine, and evolve signal models as hiring needs change
- Lead change through system design and enablement rather than mandate
- Accept and manage short-term resistance in service of long-term improvement
- Partner with recruiters to validate outcomes, not preserve preferences
- Balance speed, adoption, and trust while maintaining forward momentum
- Build workflow architectures, playbooks, operating guides, and training materials
- Develop executive-ready updates on progress, risks, and tradeoffs
- Surface insights to TA leadership to inform ongoing strategy decisions.
Requirements
