## What You Will Own

- Own the hiring system end-to-end: rubrics, interview stages, scorecards, paid work samples, gates, operating cadence, recruiting stack, and metrics (pipeline health, conversion, time to offer, source performance).
- Scale pipeline and throughput: drive volume and quality of candidates across engineering, product, growth, curriculum, delivery, revenue, seasonal instructor, and fellowship surge hiring. Ensure every search has a strong slate of finalists, pipelines reflect served communities, and no role stalls.
- Own employer brand and candidate experience: craft trajectory, craft, and impact-focused messaging across all touchpoints for a mission-driven, nonprofit compensation model.
- Lead and grow the talent team: manage recruiters, sourcers, and coordinators (full-time and contract); set operating rhythm, coach team, decide capacity, and build staffing model.
- Partner with Head of People and leadership: translate company goals into hiring plans, advise on org design, leveling, headcount allocation, set talent priorities, and provide point of view on progress.

- By six months: implement hiring process with defined purpose and clear bar per stage, trained and accountable interviewers, predictable hiring manager cadence.
- By end of first year: open roles consistently reach strong finalist slates, time to hire under control via process that produces good decisions, talent function scales with organization.
