Job Title: Recruiting Operations Lead

Location: San Francisco, CA (Onsite)

Compensation: $120K - $160K base

Company: Venture-backed startup

About the Opportunity:

We are partnering with a high-growth, fast-paced start up to hire a Recruiting Operations Lead to help scale and optimize their engineering recruiting function. This is a more senior, high-impact role designed to take ownership of operations, analytics, and infrastructure- freeing up time for leadership to focus on strategy and hiring outcomes.

The Role:

This role is ideal for someone who has come up through recruiting and is ready to step away from direct candidate management, leaning instead into operations, systems, and data-driven decision-making. You’ll sit at the center of a high-volume recruiting engine, ensuring processes are efficient, scalable, and continuously improving.

Responsibilities:

  • Own and optimize recruiting operations across a high-volume engineering hiring pipeline
  • Analyze funnel performance and identify opportunities to improve conversion rates and candidate quality
  • Evaluate and refine candidate profiling - ensuring the team is targeting the right talent
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reporting to provide visibility into recruiting metrics and trends
  • Partner closely with leadership to streamline workflows and remove operational bottlenecks
  • Oversee coordination logistics for a heavy onsite interview cadence
  • Leverage tools and systems (CRM/ATS) to drive efficiency and scalability


Qualifications:

  • Background in recruiting (agency or in-house), with a desire to transition into operations-focused work
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to synthesize data into actionable insights
  • Experience working with CRM/ATS systems (Ashby preferred) and building dashboards/reporting
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment with significant onsite coordination needs
  • Proactive, systems-oriented thinker who enjoys improving processes at scale
