Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Senior Manager, Recruiting Operations role stands out in the SaaS ecosystem because it sits at the operating system layer of how a scaled, venture backed platform company hires. The remit signals a function that treats recruiting as a measurable, tool driven workflow, with explicit attention to AI enablement, systems ownership, and governance across a complex stakeholder set.
For SaaS career builders, the value is in learning how talent infrastructure is designed and maintained when hiring volume, role diversity, and compliance obligations rise together. Experience shaping an ATS and reporting stack, defining metrics that balance speed and quality, and running cross functional programs translates well across SaaS companies where operational leverage is a competitive advantage. The AI component also indicates exposure to the practical, policy aware side of automation, not just experimentation.
The role fits professionals who like ambiguity only when it can be turned into process, and who enjoy influencing without owning every lever directly. It will suit someone comfortable moving between strategic project leadership and hands on operational stewardship, with an interest in how modern SaaS organizations scale recruiting through systems, data, and disciplined execution.
The section above is editorial commentary from The SaaS Jobs, provided to help SaaS professionals understand the role in a broader industry context.

The Opportunity
The VP of Recruiting needs a right hand. Someone who can run the operational core of a recruiting function while also driving the strategic projects that help to drive Flock's continued growth.

Data & Reporting: Define what we measure, build the dashboards that tell the story, and bring data to every decision — balancing speed, quality, and candidate experience
Compliance & Risk: Own recruiting compliance end-to-end — EEO/OFCCP reporting, job posting requirements, data privacy, and audit readiness; build frameworks that keep us clean and scalable as we grow
Coordination Team: Lead and develop the coordination function, setting the bar for candidate experience and operational excellence
Onboarding Ops: Own the operational handoff from offer acceptance to Day 1, partnering with People Ops to make the new hire experience seamless
The Skillset
8+ years in talent acquisition or recruiting operations, with meaningful time in a senior or lead capacity
A track record of driving alignment across a recruiting team, you've gotten people moving in the same direction
Genuine fluency with AI tools and a point of view on where they create real value in recruiting workflows
Deep ATS fluency and comfort owning a recruiting tech ecosystem
Strong data instincts — you know what to measure and how to make it mean something
Executive presence — you're comfortable presenting to and pushing back on senior stakeholders
High ownership mentality; you don't wait to be told what needs fixing
Background scaling recruiting functions through rapid growth
Familiarity with HRIS integrations and onboarding infrastructure
