Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered robots to support humanity in every facet of life. Our flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, is built to collaborate thoughtfully with people, starting with critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond. We operate at the cutting edge of embodied AI, applying our expertise across the full robotics stack to solve some of society's most important problems.

You will join a team dedicated to bringing Apollo to market at scale, tackling the complex challenges like safety, commercialization, and mass production to change the world for the better.

The Senior Manager, Recruiting Ops and Systems will drive operational excellence, data maturity, and infrastructure scalability for our Talent Acquisition team. This leader will initially operate as a hands‑on builder, owning reporting, analytics, systems optimization, and data governance while establishing the processes and infrastructure that will support future team expansion. This pivotal role is responsible for transforming raw recruiting data into strategic insights, architecting a robust internal knowledge base, and leading a high‑performing coordination team.

The ideal candidate is a curious, data‑driven systems thinker and proactive doer who thrives on building from the ground up rather than purely managing existing environments.

• Design, build, and maintain comprehensive, real‑time recruiting dashboards and reports to track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as time‑to‑hire, quality‑of‑hire, pipeline health, and sourcing channel efficiency.
• Architect reporting solutions and data models from ambiguous or incomplete baseline business requirements, turning complex raw metrics into highly structured, clear data points.
• Analyze complex recruiting datasets to identify operational bottlenecks, predict hiring trends, and provide data‑driven recommendations to talent leadership and business stakeholders.
• Audit and maintain data integrity within the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and ancillary tools, establishing strict data governance policies and team compliance.

• Lead the hands‑on architecture, content creation, and continuous improvement of the recruiting team's internal intranet/knowledge base, documenting workflows, tech stack configurations, KPI communication and team policies.
• Build and scale a centralized repository of enablement and training materials tailored specifically for hiring managers, interviewers, and interview panels to elevate company‑wide interview capability.
• Manage vendor relationships and maximize the ROI of the recruiting technology stack, overseeing system integrations, routine updates, and internal tool adoption.

• Provide direct leadership, coaching, and professional development to coordinators and ops personnel, ensuring exceptional candidate experiences and seamless interview logistics.
• Strategic planning for future operations team growth, including the eventual headcount justification, onboarding, and management of an individual contributor (IC) Reporting Analyst.
• Establish performance standards, manage team capacity, and cultivate a collaborative, highly organized team culture.

• A true 'doer' and hands‑on builder mentality; comfortable executing technical work from scratch rather than solely consuming or managing pre-existing reporting environments.
• Strong SQL proficiency (including writing complex queries, joins, aggregations, data validation, and structural troubleshooting).
• Advanced Power BI development capabilities, including robust hands‑on experience with DAX and Power Query.
• Proven understanding of data modeling concepts and KPI frameworks built from ambiguous or evolving data landscapes.
• Familiarity or foundational exposure to cloud data warehouse…
