• Expert-level knowledge and hands-on administrative experience with an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), including workflow design, reporting, and maintenance.
• Ability to partner and influence stakeholders at all levels, including executives, to drive hiring goals and outcomes.
• Strong project management skills and comfort with providing timely and clear reports of progress and roadblocks.
• High standards, with the flexibility to improvise and move fast in a changing, high-growth startup environment.
