Full Job Description
ElevenLabs is scaling fast - and Talent Operations is at the center of making that happen. We're looking for someone to own the infrastructure behind a high-volume, high-urgency hiring push: managing recruiting agencies, onboarding and coordinating recruiting contractors, and ensuring we have the capacity and vendor ecosystem to hit aggressive headcount targets.
This is a hands-on program management role. You'll be the connective tissue between our internal recruiting team, external partners, and hiring stakeholders - making sure nothing falls through the cracks when we're moving at speed. Once the immediate surge is resourced and running, you'll expand into broader Talent Ops programs: tooling, automation, data, and process design.
Specifically, you will:
- Own relationships with hiring agencies and recruiting contractors end-to-end - sourcing, onboarding, performance tracking, and vendor management.
- Build and maintain capacity plans that map hiring demand to recruiter and agency supply, flagging gaps before they become blockers.
- Program manage surge hiring initiatives, coordinating across internal recruiters, external partners, and recruiters to keep pipelines moving.
- Design lightweight but durable SOPs for how we engage and manage external recruiting partners at scale.
- Track and report on agency and contractor performance, cost-per-hire, and fill rates - surfacing insights to improve how we deploy capacity.
- Transition into broader Talent Ops work over time: workflow automation, tooling, dashboards, and recruiter enablement: identifying and recommending the agencies we work with, and supporting a seamless calibration process..
Requirements
- Proven experience managing recruiting vendors, staffing agencies, or contractor workforces - you know how to hold external partners accountable to results.
- Strong program management instincts: you can run multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping balls.
- Comfortable building structure where little exists - capacity models, trackers, SOPs, and reporting from scratch.
- Data-driven: you track what matters, spot problems early, and communicate clearly with numbers.
- Excellent stakeholder management - you can work across recruiting, finance, and hiring managers without friction.
Nice to have:
- Experience supporting high-volume or international hiring surges.
- Familiarity with ATS platforms, particularly Ashby.
- Ability to vibe-code or automate workflows to reduce manual overhead.
If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, making data-driven decisions, and driving business impact, this could be a great fit.
Location
This role is remote and can be executed globally. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in London, New York, San Francisco, and Warsaw.
