About the role

What You’ll Own

Interview Execution

  • Run candidate interview experience end to end — screens, take-homes, virtual loops, and full-day onsites — across multiple teams
  • Manage complex scheduling across candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers, and absorb reschedules and conflicts before they reach the candidate
  • Treat interviewer capacity as a metric you own rather than a constraint you work around: track load, flag saturation before it slows a pipeline, and help scale the interviewer pool as volume grows

Ashby and Pipeline Integrity

  • Own candidate data in Ashby — stages, tags, scorecards, written rationale — so the pipeline is trustworthy enough to make decisions from
  • Build the checks rather than the cleanup: automated exception reports that surface missing feedback, stalled candidates, and inconsistent stage data before anyone notices manually
  • Turn pipeline data into reporting hiring managers actually use — time-to-schedule, funnel conversion, interviewer load, offer outcomes

Candidate Experience

  • Be the person candidates remember, at every stage — clear, fast, and human
  • Automate the prep, not the warmth: interviewer packets, candidate prep, and follow-ups that fire on the right trigger without anyone remembering to send them
  • Own post-offer coordination and the handoff into onboarding

On-sites and Events

  • Run Superdays, candidate dinners, and networking events end to end — logistics, travel, comms, day-of execution

Building Leverage

  • Find the most repetitive work on the team and remove it — with automations, LLM workflows, Ashby’s API, or whatever gets there fastest
  • Codify what our best recruiters do by hand into prompts, templates, and workflows the whole team can use
  • Help us answer a question we can’t answer yet: which of our interview stages actually predict who succeeds here. We score every evaluative round 1–4 with written rationale, and nobody has tied those scores to on-the-job performance.

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in project management, recruiting operations, HR operations, or similar roles
  • Fluent in an ATS (we use Ashby) and fast on unfamiliar tools
  • You already use AI daily and have built something with it. A scheduling automation, a sourcing workflow, a script that cleans your own data, a prompt library your team relies on.
  • Exacting attention to detail. You triple-check the time zone before you send the invite
  • You treat inefficiency as a personal problem. When something breaks twice, you fix the cause instead of the instance
  • Clear, direct writing — with candidates, with hiring managers, and in your Ashby notes
  • High ownership. You close loops without being asked to

Nice to Haves

  • Experience at an early-stage company in AI or high-growth tech
  • Hands-on with AI and automation tooling — Claude, Cursor, Clay, Zapier, ATS APIs, or whatever you’ve actually shipped with
  • SQL, or comfort in a BI tool — you pull the numbers yourself instead of asking someone for them
  • You’ve designed or improved an interview process, not just run one — rubrics, scorecards, interviewer calibration

Compensation & Benefits

  • Semi-annual performance bonus structure
  • Generous equity grant vested over 4 years
  • $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
  • $1.5K monthly stipend for meals
  • Free Equinox membership
  • $200 monthly laundry reimbursement
  • $200 monthly personal wellness reimbursement
  • Health, Dental, Vision insurance
