Recruiting Program Manager

What You'll Achieve

The scope of this role will evolve with the team's highest priorities. Some examples of what you might work on:

• Interviewer systems and efficacy — design the systems, structures, and standards that make Notion's interviewing reliably great: how we train interviewers, how we measure their effectiveness, how we calibrate quality over time, and how we continuously raise the bar; this includes programs like Interviewer 101, Hiring Manager Training, and functional interviewer certifications tailored to specific teams.
• Interviewer pool health — own the systems and strategy behind how we maintain a healthy, well-mapped interviewer pool, manage AI and experimental interview formats, and keep quality high at scale.
• Recruiting team onboarding and enablement — build and run programs that get new recruiters up to speed quickly and keep the team operating at a high level.
• Specialty hiring programs — provide program management support for specialized hiring motions like internal mobility, M&A integration, and other high-priority strategic initiatives.
• Cross-functional playbooks and infrastructure — build the processes, communications, and coordination frameworks that help Recruiting run with more consistency, clarity, and scale.

Skills You'll Need to Bring

• 5+ years of relevant experience in program management, recruiting operations, or a highly cross-functional role in a fast-moving environment.
• High agency — you move fast, take ownership end-to-end, and don't wait for perfect information or explicit direction to get started.
• A builder mentality — you're most energized when creating something new or improving something that doesn't yet work well.
• Strong project management skills — you can lead complex initiatives from scoping through execution, managing stakeholders, timelines, and competing priorities along the way; you're equally comfortable driving short-term sprints and stewarding long-range programs that evolve over months or years.
• Comfort with ambiguity and complexity — you don't need everything defined to start moving, and you know how to create structure where it's needed.
• Proven ability to operate with discretion and high judgment on sensitive or high-profile work.
• Strong analytical instincts — you use data to evaluate program health, spot patterns, and make informed decisions.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication — you tailor your message to the audience and create clarity across all levels of the organization.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with recruiting program management workstreams through different stages of recruiting evolution and hypergrowth.
• Background in recruiting, talent operations, or HR program design.
• Familiarity with technical hiring, especially in AI, engineering, or product domains.
• You use Notion and love it — you get what we're building.
