## About the role

We're looking for a Strategic Projects Lead to take on recruiting's most complex, cross-cutting work: the high-stakes decisions and initiatives that span many teams and don't fit neatly into any one group's remit. You'll bring the structure, coordination, and follow-through that help these get made well, and see them through as the company scales.

## What they're looking for

- Have 8-10+ years in program management, business operations, chief of staff, or people/talent roles at a fast-growing company, with increasing scope over time
- Have been part of a talent team or partnered closely with one, and understand how recruiting operates day to day
- Think in systems: you see how the pieces connect, anticipate downstream effects, and design fixes that work across team boundaries
- Have owned several complex workstreams at once and made hard prioritization calls without much guidance
- Set the strategy and vision for your area rather than executing someone else's plan
- Create structure and clarity in genuinely ambiguous environments
