About the role
Varda is pioneering a commercial space-based manufacturing and reentry logistics platform. We need a Recruiting Operations Lead who has built, or rebuilt, a recruiting engine before and can do it again at our pace. You will own the systems, processes, data, and integrations that let our recruiters hire at scale. This is a builder’s role: you’ll diagnose what’s broken, prioritize ruthlessly, ship solutions, and keep iterating until the machine hums. You are the person who makes the whole hiring engine work (better). Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Strong analytical skills, with experience building recruiting dashboards and forecasts
