Full Job Description
We9re looking for a Senior Manager, Recruiting Operations to build the next generation of how Pinterest hires.

This is not a traditional recruiting operations role. We9re looking for a leader who understands Recruiting Ops not as a support function, but as the operating system for talent acquisition; one that is automated, scalable, compliant, inclusive, and built for constant innovation.

This role is for someone who doesn9t just optimize the process, they question whether the process should exist at all.

What you9ll do:
  • Build the future-state operating model for Recruiting
    • Define and lead a bold, multi-year vision for Recruiting Operations at Pinterest, centered on scale, automation, intelligence, and exceptional user experience.
    • Reimagine how recruiting work gets done by identifying friction, eliminating low-value manual work, and redesigning workflows end-to-end.
    • Build an AI-forward and automation-first operating model that enables recruiters to spend more time on high-judgment, high-impact work.
  • Drive AI and automation across the recruiting lifecycle
    • Identify opportunities to deploy AI and workflow automation across TA processes.
    • Build practical, high-impact automations that improve speed, quality, consistency, and user experience for candidates, recruiters, hiring managers, and interviewers.
    • Champion experimentation and continuous learning, helping the TA organization adopt new tools confidently and thoughtfully.
  • Optimize TA system operations and reporting
    • Partner closely with People Tech and IT to ensure systems are integrated, scalable, secure, and designed to support both current and future hiring needs.
    • Serve as the senior operational leader for recruiting tool operations, testing, adoption, and change management.
    • Own recruiting operations reporting and dashboards while partnering with the People Analytics team on cross functional organization insights.
    • Partner with TA leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to improve reporting processes and output mechanisms.
  • Lead operational programs that are business-critical and compliant
    • Own the operational strategy and execution for core TA programs including: background checks, employee referral program administration, etc.
    • Ensure these programs are inclusive, scalable, compliant, and user-friendly.
    • Partner with Legal, HR, Mobility/Immigration, and business stakeholders to strengthen controls while reducing unnecessary complexity.

What we9re looking for:
  • Experience leading a Recruiting Operations team including significant experience managing recruiting systems and cross-functional programs.
  • Proven experience transforming TA operations and systems in a high-growth, complex, or highly matrixed environment.
  • Deep expertise with recruiting technologies such as ATS, CRM, scheduling, and reporting.
  • Demonstrated success designing, implementing, or scaling AI-enabled workflows and program automation.
  • Strong understanding of recruiting process design, systems architecture, data flows, controls, and change management.
  • Experience owning or partnering closely on compliance-sensitive programs such as background checks, referrals, immigration/PERM, and internal mobility.
  • Excellent judgment in balancing innovation with compliance, speed with quality, and automation with human experience.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust across Recruiting, People Tech, IT, Legal, and HR.
  • A mindset that is curious, inventive, practical, and relentlessly improvement-oriented.
  • Bachelor9s degree in a relevant field such as Business Administration, or equivalent experience
