Talkdesk is seeking an experienced Talent Operations Leader to own the TA tech stack and automate core workflows across US, Portugal, India, the Philippines and beyond.

You’ll lead a small global team, optimize Greenhouse and GoodTime workflows, and build dashboards that track pipeline health, time-to-fill, offers and recruiter capacity. This role requires strong analytics, cross-country hiring experience, and a strategic mindset.

Qualificações

• 6+ years in talent operations, recruiting operations, recruiting systems or people analytics at a fast-growing tech company, including experience leading a team.
• Hands-on ATS experience, ideally as a Greenhouse admin configuring workflows, permissions, reports and integrations.
• Genuine love of technology and automation, with experience using integrations, no-code automation tools or AI to remove manual work.
• Strong analytical skills. Fluent in Excel or Google Sheets (lookups, pivot tables, automated reports) and built dashboards in a BI or reporting tool. SQL is a plus.
• Hands-on experience managing offers and employment documentation, including offer letters, contracts, approvals and the handoff to onboarding.
• Working knowledge of US employment law and hiring compliance, such as pay transparency, exempt vs. non-exempt classification, I-9 and background checks, and EEO; understanding cross-country differences.
• Commercial judgment, with experience evaluating, buying and negotiating with HR tech vendors and using data to make the case.
• Experience supporting hiring across multiple countries.
• A strategic, independent mindset. You bring a point of view and a recommendation, not just a question.
• Clear communication and the confidence to present to senior leaders.

Responsabilidades

• Lead, coach and develop the Talent Operations Coordinators who own requisition and offer approvals, offer delivery and interview scheduling.
• Design schedules and coverage that work for recruiters, hiring managers and candidates across time zones.
• Set clear service levels and measure how the team performs against them.
• Create, standardize and document recruiting processes, and keep our knowledge base current.
• Partner with People, Legal, Finance, Compensation and IT to build and improve offers, contracts and approval workflows.
• Support international hiring, including country-specific offer and contract requirements and our employer-of-record partners.
• Ensure every offer and contract is accurate and compliant with local employment law, pay transparency rules and our internal policies.

Bring a data mindset

• Partner with our people data team to define what we measure and build the dashboards recruiting relies on, such as pipeline health, time to fill, offer acceptance and recruiter capacity.
• Build and automate simple reports yourself, so you can answer everyday questions quickly without waiting on anyone.
• Back your recommendations with data, from tool renewals to process changes, and spot trends before they become problems.
• Keep our ATS data clean so everyone can trust the numbers.

Lead the operations team

Navigate globally and cross-functionally

• Partner with People, Legal, Finance, Compensation and IT to build and improve offers, contracts and approval workflows.
• Support international hiring, including country-specific offer and contract requirements and our employer-of-record partners.
• Ensure every offer and contract is accurate and compliant with local employment law, pay transparency rules and our internal policies.
