• Manage budgets and operational execution, including forecasting, vendor coordination, logistics, timelines, and expense tracking in partnership with Finance.


• Leverage recruiting and event systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Gem, Splash) to manage workflows, candidate engagement, tracking, and reporting.


• Define success metrics and analyze event performance, using data and insights to continuously optimize strategy, candidate experience, and return on investment.

You Have: 

• 5–7+ years of experience in recruiting, recruiting programs/operations, or event program management.

• Proficiency with recruiting and event systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Gem, Splash or comparable tools) and strong data skills, including the ability to track metrics, analyze performance, and translate insights into actionable improvements.


• Experience working with business leaders and communicating effectively at various organizational levels.

You Are: 

• Highly cross-functional, with the ability to build trust, influence stakeholders, and move work forward across diverse teams and levels.


• Strategic in your thinking and hands-on in your execution — equally comfortable setting direction and delivering results.
