Foster a cohesive team culture across time zones, building engagement and alignment around shared goals and values

Set the vision and strategy for candidate experience globally, ensuring a consistent, high-quality, and equitable experience across all regions and hiring stages

Own and evolve the candidate journey from interview scheduling through offer acceptance, identifying friction points and implementing scalable solutions

Build and maintain reporting dashboards to track key metrics such as scheduling SLAs, candidate satisfaction (NPS), and coordinator productivity

Consistently monitor and forecast team capacity, ensuring regional teams are appropriately staffed to meet hiring volume

Partner cross-functionally to align candidate experience initiatives with broader talent strategy

Drive adoption of new tools and automation to increase coordinator efficiency using AI

What You'll Bring

7+ years of experience in recruiting coordination, recruiting operations, or talent acquisition, with at least 3 years in a people management role

Demonstrated experience managing distributed or global teams across multiple time zones and regions

Deep understanding of the candidate lifecycle and best practices for high-volume, high-quality interview experience

Strong operational mindset with a track record of building scalable processes and driving measurable improvements
