Senior Manager, Operations

Position: Senior Manager, Recruiting Operations
About the RoleMongoDB is looking for a technical people-first, and execution-obsessed leader to lead the Recruiting Operations team. As the operational backbone of Talent Acquisition, the Rec Ops team establishes and maintains the foundational infrastructure that makes scalable, high-velocity hiring possible. As a Senior Manager of Recruiting Operations, you are the visionary leader responsible for partnering with key stakeholders to build these crucial operational frameworks.

You will drive the overarching vision, strategy, and execution across three core areas: process optimization and operational rigor, Rec Tech modernization and tooling strategy, and predictive talent intelligence and trusted data architecture. By establishing this infrastructure, you will empower TA to consistently find, interview, and achieve the best possible hiring outcomes for the organization. This leadership role demands an exceptional individual with strong technical aptitude, deep data and insights experience, and a proven track record of workflow redesign.

You will empower your team to continuously refine the systems, tools, and processes used to support recruiting and hiring teams, ultimately ensuring a scalable and successful hiring environment.

What You'll DoLead the Rec Ops Team:
Drive the vision and strategy for the Core Ops team, aligning your roadmap with overall Talent Acquisition (TA) and business goals. You will take full ownership of the three core sub-pillars, taking an innovative and bold approach to identifying and executing large-scale transformation initiatives

Own the TA Tooling Roadmap & Rec Tech Modernization:
In partnership with HR Tech, establish and oversee the TA technology stack and vendor relationships. You will actively manage the TA tooling roadmap with our Recruiting Product Manager, leading the discovery, implementation, onboarding, offboarding, and systematic, data-focused evaluation of tools. This includes hands-on experimentation with automations and co-leading our AI strategy

Champion Predictive Talent Intelligence:
Partner with People Analytics to advance the use of recruiting analytics and define key metrics of success. While you will oversee long-term data integrity and self-service reporting, you must also be highly hands-on—using Google Sheets and advanced formulas to manipulate data, generate actionable insights, and provide ad-hoc reporting

Optimize Processes & Workflows:
Redesign core recruiting processes to improve operational rigor across the hiring lifecycle. You will act as a strategic thought partner, working closely with cross-functional People Team partners to ensure that your redesigned workflows operate seamlessly in line with other broader People processes and systems

Drive Governance & Compliance:
Own TA Policy, Governance, and Compliance as a horizontal pillar across all initiatives and in alignment with our broader security, legal and people teams. You will define and oversee official guidelines, standards, and oversight (e.g., Global Recruiting Policy, Approval Hierarchies, Data Privacy) to guarantee control and adherence to all laws (e.g., EEO/OFCCP)
Act as a subject matter expert and strategic thought partner, utilizing deep knowledge of the internal and external hiring landscape to lead and drive key operational projects with cross-functional teams. This ensures solutions adapt to evolving business needs

Provide guidance and mentorship to your team, acting as an exceptional leader who plays an active role in guiding and up leveling individuals. You will foster the professional development of a relatively junior team while ensuring deliverables are aligned with the overarching TA strategy
