Responsibilities

Manage all operational aspects of the recruiting process for primarily Director-level and above hiring, including job description creation, complex interview scheduling (domestic and international), candidate communication, travel coordination, and offer processing

Confidently manage senior and executive-level hiring processes, serving as a trusted point of contact for candidates, recruiters, and executives. Navigate sensitive conversations, shifting priorities, and confidential information with discretion, professionalism, and a high-touch, human-centered candidate experience

Build and maintain Executive Hiring dashboards, reports, and trackers using ATS data (e.g., Greenhouse), Excel/Sheets, and other analytics tools. Analyze and interpret data to surface risks, trends, and actionable recommendations, partnering with recruiters and TA leadership to inform decisions, not simply report metrics

Partner with TA leaders to create polished reports and presentations for executive reviews, quarterly business updates, and strategic workforce planning sessions, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and executive-ready storytelling

Ensure accuracy of all candidate data in the ATS and related systems, upholding process compliance, supporting audit readiness, and applying judgment when handling sensitive or non-standard data scenarios

Exercise sound judgment in complex, ambiguous, and time-sensitive recruiting situations. Anticipate and resolve scheduling conflicts, competing executive priorities, last-minute changes, and candidate sensitivities with minimal oversight

Proactively manage non-standard scenarios that fall outside defined workflows, including confidential searches, urgent executive needs, cross-border complexities, and high-risk scheduling or offer situations

Coordinate across functions and geographies to ensure alignment, delivering consistency and excellence across diverse hiring initiatives while adapting to cultural nuances and regional expectations

Identify opportunities to optimize coordination processes, enhance reporting tools, and elevate stakeholder engagement. Influence hiring stakeholders to follow best practices, timelines, and process expectations while maintaining strong, trust-based relationships

Partner with the Talent Acquisition team on executive interview events, hiring initiatives, and special projects that support strategic business priorities
