About the Role We are seeking a Systems & Enablement Lead, Recruiting Operations who will own high-impact operational support across recruiting workflows.

Supporting offer approval and other sensitive recruiting workflows through clear coordination, followthrough, and exception handling. Identifying recurring support themes and driving fixes through process changes, documentation improvements, automation, or handoff to People Systems.

Partnering closely with recruiters, coordinators, People Systems, and cross functional stakeholders to improve workflow usability and reliability. Using data and operational signals to monitor service health, prioritize improvements, and reduce repeat work. Evaluating practical AI and automation opportunities that improve support quality, speed, and consistency without weakening controls.
