What are the responsibilities and job description for the People and Talent Specialist position at LeanData?
LeanData helps the world's fastest-growing companies automate, simplify, and accelerate revenue.
As our People & Talent Specialist, you'll sit at the heart of the employee experience - supporting candidates from first conversation through offer, and supporting employees from onboarding through everyday people operations. This is a true hybrid role: roughly half recruiting coordination and sourcing, half people operations. It's a great fit for someone who enjoys variety, moves quickly, and wants exposure to the full lifecycle of how a high-growth SaaS company hires and cares for its people.
You'll report to our People Operations Manager and partner closely with our Talent Acquisition team, hiring managers, and the broader People & Talent function.
