AI, AUTOMATION, AND INNOVATION * Identify, pilot, and scale AI and automation opportunities across the recruiting lifecycle. * Push the team to challenge legacy ways of working and rethink manual processes through technology. * Translate recruiter pain points into practical solutions that improve speed, quality, and consistency. BUILD VS. BUY DECISION-MAKING * Evaluate when to purchase external tools versus build lighter-weight internal solutions or workflows. * Lead vendor assessments with a strong lens on ROI, usability, security, integration, and long-term fit. * Make clear recommendations on what to keep, optimize, consolidate, or sunset across the TA tech stack. EFFICIENCY AND RECRUITER PRODUCTIVITY * Drive initiatives that reduce administrative burden and increase recruiter capacity. * Partner with recruiting leaders to identify where friction exists in the funnel and solve for it at the systems or workflow level. * Focus particularly on areas where automation can unlock scale, improve service levels, and reduce rework. CROSS-FUNCTIONAL PARTNERSHIP * Serve as the primary Talent Acquisition Operations partner to teams such as HR Operations, IT, Security, Procurement, Finance, and Legal. * Lead cross-functional change management for systems, process, and tooling decisions. TEAM LEADERSHIP AND OPERATING MODEL DESIGN * Help shape what Talent Operations should own in the future and how work should be structured across the team. * Coach and develop talent operations team members while creating clear ownership, priorities, and accountability. * Build a function that is more strategic, technical, and future-oriented than reactive or purely task-based. WHAT GREAT LOOKS LIKE * Talent Operations is viewed as a strategic driver of efficiency and innovation, not just a support function. * Recruiters spend less time on low-value administrative work and more time on high-impact talent work. * The TA tech stack is simpler, more integrated, and governed with clear ROI expectations. * AI and automation are actively improving workflow speed, consistency, and scalability. * The function has a clear point of view on where to invest, where to consolidate, and how to evolve for the future.
