  • Develop strategies for filling hard-to-fill roles and think creatively about incentivizing partners to help source the right talent.

Assessment:

  • Support the Assessment Team Lead in team management, including onboarding new team members.
  • Manage the team's capacity, ensuring the availability of interview slots for on-demand technical assessments.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of relevant experience in a generalist operational role at a start-up or scale-up, or as a consultant in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proven experience driving matrixed projects with stakeholders from various teams, achieving results without direct management authority.
  • Experience managing teams with diverse workflows and across time zones.
