Senior Recruiter & Talent Acquisition AI Ops

Propel•Brooklyn, NY

53d•$130,000 - $165,000•Remote

About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Recruiter and Talent Acquisition AI Ops Lead who is both a craftsperson and a systems thinker - someone who loves the human side of recruiting and sees how technology, data, and AI can make it faster, fairer, and more human. This isn't a typical recruiting role. It's a chance to help reinvent how recruiting happens in the AI era: to design smarter systems, build automation thoughtfully, help uplevel the collective skills of the team and ensure that the warmth and care of our mission scales with our growth. You'll partner closely with the VP of People and our Talent Acquisition Manager to grow our team intentionally and inclusively. Our current hiring system is strong (30-day average time to hire, 95% candidate satisfaction, 90% offer acceptance). Now we want to elevate it into an adaptive, AI-enabled recruiting engine that learns and improves over time. You'll join a close-knit People Ops team that values curiosity, judgment, and high ownership. You'll guide hiring managers to clarity, design processes that balance efficiency with empathy, and help shape how technology supports recruiting, not replaces it.

Requirements

6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across technical and non-technical roles at Series A-D startups (ideally B2C, mobile, or marketplace products)
Proven ability to design and execute AI-assisted recruiting workflows. You're fluent or fast-learning in tools like ChatGPT, Juicebox, Glean, Cursor or others
A systems mindset: you think in terms of scalable workflows, data feedback loops, and process evolution
Deep care for diversity, equity, and inclusion in every step of the process
Ability to balance speed and quality. You move fast, but never at the expense of candidate experience
Strong communication and storytelling skills, both written and verbal
Comfort with ambiguity, high ownership, and genuine curiosity about how things work

Nice To Haves

Experience in People Ops or analytics, or a demonstrated interest in building the future of AI + HR systems

Strategic Partner to Hiring Managers: Go beyond the job description. You'll help hiring managers clarify what they truly need, shape the right role design, and define success profiles that connect to real business outcomes.
AI-Driven Systems Builder: You'll design recruiting systems that continuously learn and improve. You'll experiment with tools like ChatGPT, Juicebox, Glean, Cursor, and others to streamline sourcing, communication, and data analysis.
Champion of Candidate Experience: You'll use AI to personalize and scale candidate communication without losing the human touch.
First-Principles Process Designer: You'll question legacy recruiting practices and rebuild from the ground up. What truly drives efficiency, fairness, and quality? How can we make our systems easier and better for the hiring team?
Ethical & Inclusive Innovator: You'll help design systems that are transparent and inclusive by default.
Cultural Experimenter: You'll nurture a culture of curiosity and continuous improvement.
