About the role

We are looking for a Founding Recruiting Operations Lead with 3-6 years of experience to build and own the entire recruiting operations function from the ground up at a fast-scaling healthcare AI company. You'll be the first hire for this function, architecting systems that enable a team growing from 15 to 250+ people in under two years.

What will you be doing?

Own and optimize Ashby end-to-end: pipelines, scorecards, workflows, automations, and integrations across the recruiting tech stack.

Build AI-powered tooling and automations to make recruiters faster: automated outreach, AI-assisted screening, and intelligent pipeline triage.

Design and automate recruiting analytics dashboards for real-time visibility into pipeline health, funnel metrics, and time-to-hire.

Create enablement materials, playbooks, and training to onboard recruiters and hiring managers on systems and processes.

Launch and scale the recruiting coordination function: hire, manage, and set service levels for a growing team.

Requirements

- 3-6 years in recruiting operations or talent operations, ideally at a high-growth startup
- Built or scaled recruiting ops infrastructure at a fast-hiring startup (50+ hires/year)
- Experience as a founding or first recruiting ops hire at a Series A-C startup
- Deep Ashby expertise: advanced workflow configuration, custom reporting, API/webhook integrations, and admin-level fluency
- Hands-on experience building AI or automation tooling in a recruiting context (no-code platforms, prompt engineering, or scripting)
- Strong analytical skills with SQL or spreadsheet-level data fluency; comfortable building dashboards and automated reports
- Experience with recruiting tech stack (LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, or similar sourcing tools)
- Builder mentality with an ownership mindset: you identify problems, scope fixes, and ship without waiting to be asked
