About the role
We hire roughly 3000-5000 people a year across four continents — manufacturing technicians, early-career engineers, corporate professionals, and executives. Behind every one of those hires is a decision: where to invest, which pipelines to build, which programs to scale. We're looking for the leader who turns our hiring data into those decisions and turns those decisions into programs that ship. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, HR, Analytics, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Economics or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 10+ years of progressive experience across TA, HR, people analytics, workforce planning, strategy or operations, including 4+ years leading people
- Proven ownership of workforce or headcount planning in a global, matrixed organization of 10,000+ employees
- Hands-on analytics fluency: metric frameworks, forecasting models and executive dashboards (Power BI, Tableau or Workday reporting)
- Track record leading multi-region, cross-functional programs from charter to adoption
- Executive presence: able to brief VP and C-level leaders with a clear recommendation, not just data
