Recruiting Systems Product Manager

Hadrian Automation • Los Angeles, CA

3d • $95,000 - $150,000

About The Position

At Hadrian, we’re not just building autonomous factories — we’re building the teams, systems, and culture that will power the future of aerospace and defense manufacturing. As we scale, the People team plays a critical role in shaping how we attract, enable, and retain world-class talent across both engineering and advanced manufacturing.

Working on the People team at Hadrian means designing and operationalizing the foundation of a company that blends cutting-edge robotics, AI, and precision manufacturing — while supporting a workforce that spans software engineers, machinists, program managers, and everything in between.

We’re looking for builders: thoughtful, action-oriented team members who care deeply about people, process, and performance — and who want to help create a company culture that’s as strong as the infrastructure we’re deploying.

If you're energized by complexity, mission-critical work, and the chance to shape the trajectory of a generational company from the inside out, we’d love to hear from you.

As our first Recruiting Systems Product Manager, you'll own the full product lifecycle of our recruiting technology. You'll sit at the intersection of Recruiting, People Ops, Finance, and the business - translating fragmented processes and siloed data into clean automations, trusted reporting, and recruiting analytics that leaders can actually use to make fast, informed hiring decisions.

We're looking for a builder with a product mindset - someone who can move from discovery to roadmap to shipped solution without needing a fully defined spec. You think in systems, care deeply about data integrity, and are just as comfortable pulling a funnel report as you are presenting a quarterly recruiting ops roadmap to leadership. You bring strategic rigor and a willingness to get into the weeds. You're the kind of person who fixes the thing nobody asked you to fix, and somehow already has a roadmap for the next six months.

Requirements

• 6+ years owning or deeply administering an ATS or recruiting tech stack — Ashby experience strongly preferred; comparable platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday Recruiting) considered
• Demonstrated product ownership instincts: you've built and maintained a roadmap, managed stakeholder priorities, and made sequencing decisions under competing demands
• Hands-on experience building workflow automations within an ATS - not just configuring fields, but designing logic, testing edge cases, and maintaining rules at scale
• A track record of owning data quality in a fast-moving recruiting environment - you've cleaned up a messy system and built processes to keep it clean
• Strong analytical instincts - you define what a dashboard needs to answer before you build it, and you catch data problems before they become leadership problems
• Experience scoping integration requirements - you know enough to write a clear brief, manage a vendor, and QA the output, even if you didn't build the pipelines yourself
• Excellent communication skills - you can explain systems concepts and data findings to both technical and non-technical audiences with clarity and credibility
• A bias toward action and ownership - comfortable operating independently in a hyper-growth startup environment

Nice To Haves

• Direct Ashby implementation or re-implementation experience at a scaling company
• Experience building forecasting infrastructure — improving accuracy through better data hygiene, consistent funnel definitions, and reliable reporting
• Exposure to people analytics or BI tools (ChartHop, Tableau, Looker, Power BI)
• Enough familiarity with APIs or data pipelines to scope engineering work and validate delivery
• Experience building a recruiting operations function — or a people systems function — during a high-growth period
• A track record of rolling out new recruiting workflows or tool features with measurable adoption

Responsibilities

• Serve as the internal product owner for Ashby and all connected recruiting tools — owning the roadmap, driving configuration decisions, and ensuring the platform scales with the business
• Identify where native Ashby capabilities end and integrations are needed, scope those requirements clearly, and manage any consultants or vendors brought in to execute
• Own our recruiting data integrity — establish and enforce governance standards across stage definitions, disposition reasons, pipeline fields, and hiring manager data so that everything downstream is trustworthy
• Define what leadership needs to know from our recruiting data, then build the dashboards and reports that answer those questions — clearly, accurately, and without needing an analyst in the room to interpret them
• Build forecasting infrastructure that gives Finance and the business reliable headcount tracking, pipeline health signals, and time-to-fill projections
• Design and implement scalable recruiting workflows and SOPs that raise the operational maturity of the entire recruiting function — not just the tooling
• Establish operational standards and SLAs (stage aging, feedback turnaround, scheduling speed) and drive adoption through enablement, documentation, and follow-through — not just policy
• Train and support recruiters and hiring managers on systems, workflows, and best practices — with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly to non-technical audiences
• Partner with Recruiting Leads, People Ops, Finance, and IT to align on priorities, manage competing demands, and communicate tradeoffs in plain language

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
• 401k
• Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
• Flexible vacation policy
