Job Description

We are hiring a Director of Talent Operations & Analytics to join Procore’s People organization. We are building a seamless, data-driven, and people-centered talent ecosystem.

You will be responsible for defining the data and insights we need to run our recruiting engine efficiently and evolve our talent products effectively. This role will report to the VP, Talent, and will be based in Austin, TX. We’re looking for someone to join us immediately.

• Impact:
  Develop methods to measure the impact and user experience (UX) of our talent programs (e.g., Onboarding, Growth & Performance, Mobility).
• Drive Integrated Talent Insights:
  Connect data across the talent lifecycle to answer critical questions (e.g., Are our new hire assessment criteria predictive of high performance? Which internal talent pools should be surfaced for executive-level requisitions?).

• Optimize the Talent Tech Stack:
  Partner with stakeholders to optimize our use of technology, including AI and automation, to improve efficiency, enhance the user experience, and elevate our talent capabilities.
