JOB SUMMARYThe Manager of Talent Acquisition, Operations, Programs & Reporting will drive operational excellence, program maturity, and reporting infrastructure for our Talent Acquisition team. This leader will initially operate as a hands-on builder, owning our day-to-day operating cadence, recruiting programs, and reporting/systems infrastructure while establishing the processes that will support future team expansion. This pivotal role is responsible for keeping our recruiting engine operating smoothly day to day, running high-impact TA programs, and turning recruiting data into clear reporting for the business - all while leading a high-performing coordination team. The ideal candidate is a proactive builder and organized operator who thrives on standing up programs and processes from the ground up rather than purely managing existing environments.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES or KEY ACCOUNTABILITIESOperations
- Own the day-to-day coordination and operating cadence of the recruiting team - interview logistics, scheduling workflows, and process consistency across the team.
- Establish and maintain documented workflows, SOPs, and team policies (e.g., in our internal knowledge base/intranet) so operating cadence stays consistent as the team scales.
- Provide direct leadership, coaching, and professional development to coordinators and ops personnel, ensuring exceptional candidate experiences and seamless interview logistics.
- Establish performance standards, manage team capacity, and cultivate a collaborative, highly organized team culture.
- Support strategic planning for future operations team growth, including eventual headcount justification, onboarding, and management of an individual contributor (IC) Reporting Analyst.
Programs
- Design, launch, and manage recruiting programs and events (University, hiring events, employer-branding initiatives, and similar TA-led programs) from concept through execution.
- Build and scale recruitment training for hiring managers, interviewers, and interview panels - including onboarding new interviewers, structured interview training, and ongoing enablement materials.
- Own the centralized repository of enablement and training content, ensuring it stays current as processes and tools evolve.
Reporting
- Build and maintain recruiting and sourcing metrics reporting - time-to-hire, pipeline health, sourcing channel efficiency, and other core TA KPIs.
- Build dashboards and recurring reporting for the business, translating recruiting data into clear, actionable narratives for talent leadership and business stakeholders.
- Own our recruiting systems, including the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and ancillary tools - auditing data integrity, managing vendor relationships, overseeing integrations, and driving internal tool adoption.
- Establish data governance practices so recruiting data stays accurate and consistent across systems and reporting.
SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS- Strong day-to-day operational management skills - comfortable owning scheduling cadence, process consistency, and team logistics at scale.
- A true 'doer' and hands-on builder mentality; comfortable standing up programs, processes, and reporting from scratch rather than solely managing pre-existing environments.
- Proven experience building and running recruiting programs or events (University, hiring events, employer branding, or similar).
- Experience designing and delivering recruitment/interview training for hiring managers and interview panels.
- Comfort building basic recruiting reports and dashboards (e.g., Excel/Google Sheets); exposure to a BI/visualization tool such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker is a plus, not a requirement.
- Advanced proficiency with modern Applicant Tracking Systems (Greenhouse highly preferred), including systems administration and vendor management.
- Proven experience architecting and maintaining centralized internal knowledge bases, intranets, or wikis (e.g., Confluence, Notion, SharePoint).
- Strong project management skills with a track record of successfully implementing scalable operational processes across a talent function.
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a proven ability to translate recruiting data and program outcomes into actionable narratives for non-technical stakeholders.
- Natural leadership capability with a passion for mentoring, developing, and managing operational personnel or coordinator teams.
EDUCATION and/or EXPERIENCE- Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
- At least 8 years of experience in talent acquisition operations, recruiting programs, or recruiting systems/reporting.
