[Hiring] Talent Operations Manager @Render

Role Description

We’re looking for a Talent Operations Manager to own the systems, data, and operating rhythm behind how Render hires. You’ll architect our ATS, build the reporting that Talent and hiring teams rely on, and lead process changes that help us scale without losing quality.

You’ll work closely with:

• Recruiters
• Recruiting coordinators
• Hiring managers
• People leaders
• External partners

This is a high-leverage role for someone who likes turning messy, fast-moving work into clear operating systems. You’ll help us:

• Reduce process drift
• Improve candidate and interviewer experience
• Keep hiring data trustworthy
• Give the team better visibility into what is working, what is blocked, and where we need to adjust

We value people who are practical, systems-minded, and steady when the work gets complex.

What You’ll Do

• Architect how our ATS works across custom fields, access roles, interview plans, feedback forms, automations, integrations, and reporting foundations
• Own the reporting layer for Talent leadership and hiring teams, including dashboards, ad hoc reporting, metric definitions, and visibility into hiring plan progress
• Keep hiring data accurate and reconciled across the ATS, the hiring plan, and downstream systems so decisions get made on numbers people trust
• Turn recurring Talent Operations requests into better systems: identify patterns, improve workflows, automate repeatable work, and make the right processes self-serve
• Evaluate, procure, implement, and manage tools for sourcing, scheduling, reporting, and recruiting operations
• Build the connective tissue between systems, including API-based reporting, integrations, and automations that reduce manual work for recruiters and coordinators
• Lead process rollouts with clear documentation, training, adoption checks, and follow-through so changes stick

Qualifications

• 6+ years in recruiting, recruiting operations, talent operations, people systems, or a similar systems and data role in a high-growth environment
• Deep ATS expertise, particularly Ashby
• Strong analytical skills
• Proficient in Google Sheets or Excel
• Experience owning data integrity across an ATS and the systems around it
• Strong program and change management skills
• Clear written communication, strong documentation habits, high attention to detail, and good judgment in a fast-moving environment

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience building or scaling a recruiting operations function at a post-Series B/C company
• Experience supporting technical recruiting teams or high-volume engineering hiring
• Hands-on experience with the Ashby API or ATS-based reporting
• Exposure to headcount planning or headcount management systems
• AI fluency, with good judgment about where AI helps, where it adds risk, and what checks are needed before others rely on the output

Benefits

• 4 weeks of paid vacation
• 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents
• Long-term disability, life insurance, and 401K plans
• 100% employer-paid medical coverage and 99% employer-paid dental and vision coverage for you and a dependent
• Monthly lifestyle stipend for wellness, mental health and therapy, hobbies, etc.
• Monthly cell phone and internet subsidy
• Commuter benefits for Renders in the Bay Area, and home office stipends for remote Renders
• Continuous learning benefits & related support
