Job Description

The Talent Acquisition Operations Manager is the operational and performance engine behind CAI's global TA function. The role does three things: it brings operational transparency to TA performance through clear, outcome-focused reporting; it runs the systems, process, and vendor infrastructure that keep the function running smoothly; and it drives the operational adoption of AI and recruiting technology across the team.

This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who is equally comfortable in the data and in front of stakeholders - not only administering tools, but turning what they produce into insight leaders act on. This position will be full-time and remote .

"This position does not offer employment sponsorship. All candidates must be eligible to work without need for sponsorship by employer."

What You’ll Do

Performance Insight & Business Reporting

• •Operationalize, maintain and evolve business-facing and internal TA reporting to support the recruiting leads and TA/HR leadership
• •Own the definition and governance of TA metrics so figures are consistent, trusted, and comparable across regions and segments
• •Translate data into narrative: surface what’s new and changing, what is moving the needle, what is at risk
• •Deliver automated, standardized dashboards, and productionize the performance and capacity tools the function relies on

AI & Recruiting Technology Enablement

• •Drive the delivery and execution of the TA technology roadmap - standing up and sequencing new capabilities (sourcing agents, voice agent, Phenom automation, future tools) in partnership with HR Strategy & Enablement - turning the roadmap into operational reality
• •Own the operational rollout, adoption, and measurement of AI capabilities across TA, pairing every automation with the process redesign that makes it work
• •Lead recruiter enablement and change management for new tools and workflows, so adoption is real and measured, not assumed
• •Track and report the efficiency and cost-avoidance impact of AI-enabled recruiting so its value is visible to the business

Systems & Platform Ownership

• •Serve as functional owner/administrator for Workday (ATS) and Phenom (CRM/career-site platform) - configuration, workflow, integrations, and user access across all regions
• •Act as the primary TA liaison to IT/HRIS, partnering with the IT product manager on system issues, enhancements, and upgrades

Vendor, Spend & Tech-Stack ROI

• •Manage the TA technology and media budget as a portfolio - owning source performance, cost-per-hire and cost-per-source analysis, and spend optimization against fill-rate and cost targets
• •Provide the analysis that supports vendor renewals and rationalization decisions (e.g., programmatic advertising, CRM, assessments, market-intelligence tools), arming TA leadership for renewal negotiations

Process, Governance & Continuous Improvement

• •Design and maintain standardized TA workflows across regions, accounting for local labor law and operational differences, and pair process redesign with automation rather than layering tools onto broken processes
• •Partner with the Onboarding function to ensure a seamless handoff from offer through start date, continuously improving the candidate-to-employee experience across that transition
• •Own recruiter-facing process documentation (intake, SLAs, compliance touchpoints such as reasonable-accommodation intake and background-check workflows)
• •Partner with Legal/Compliance on process changes affecting candidate experience or classification

Capacity & Demand Planning

• •Build and maintain recruiter capacity and throughput models to inform requisition-load balancing and coverage
• •Partner with Finance/FP&A and TA leadership on requisition-volume forecasting, using demand signals from the business

Cross-Regional Coordination & Enablement

• •Support consistent tool and process adoption across US and international TA teams, sustaining data hygiene and system-usage standards as day-to-day management moves local
• •Provide training and enablement to recruiters on systems, process, and new capabilities

Employer Brand & EVP Operations

Own the foundational employer-brand operations that support hiring - including Glassdoor presence - and partner with Marketing/Communications on recruitment campaigns and EVP execution

What You'll Need

Required:

• •5+ years in Talent Acquisition Operations, HR Systems, or Recruiting Analytics, including experience presenting performance insight to senior stakeholders
• •Demonstrated ability to turn data into a clear performance story for business leaders - not only build reports, but tell the leader what to do with them
• •Hands-on administration of Workday (ATS) required; Phenom (or comparable talent CRM) strongly preferred
• •Experience owning or optimizing recruiting technology and media spend, including vendor management and renewal analysis
• •Strong process-design and change-management skills, with a track record of driving real adoption of new tools and workflows
• •Advanced Excel/O365 and hands-on dashboard/reporting build experience; comfort working with people-data at scale
• •Experience supporting distributed or international teams and coordinating across US, India, and Philippines time zones

Preferred:

• •Experience with programmatic job advertising (Appcast or similar) and assessment platforms
• •Exposure to AI-enabled recruiting tools and their operational rollout
• •Familiarity with staffing or professional-services recruiting environments

Physical Demands

• •Ability to safely and successfully perform the essential job functions
• •Sedentary work that involves sitting or remaining stationary most of the time with occasional need to move around the office to attend meetings, etc.
• •Ability to conduct repetitive tasks on a computer, utilizing a mouse, keyboard, and monitor
