About the Role

OpenLoop is looking for a Senior Manager, Engineering Recruiting to lead recruiting for our Engineering organization. Reporting to our Director of Technical Recruiting, you’ll partner with Engineering leaders to shape hiring priorities, develop a growing recruiting team, and build the processes that support our next stage of growth.

This is a player-coach role. Alongside leading the team, you will personally own engineering leadership hiring. You’ll balance immediate hiring needs with building a scalable recruiting operation, including evergreen pipelines, team matching, interviewer readiness, and reporting.

The ideal candidate brings hands‑on technical recruiting expertise, proven people leadership, and experience helping a lean recruiting team scale. You know how to turn hiring priorities into practical plans, use data to improve results, and build trusted partnerships with senior technical leaders.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of technical recruiting professionals, setting clear expectations, supporting growth, and managing performance.
• Partner with Engineering leadership to translate business priorities into recruiting plans, align search priorities, and make informed decisions about recruiting capacity.
• Personally own engineering leadership hiring, from initial conversations through assessment, offer negotiation, and closing.
• Build and improve scalable recruiting processes, including evergreen pipelines, team matching, and structured interview approaches.
• Establish effective interviewer pools and partner with hiring teams to improve calibration, interview quality, and candidate assessment.
• Own recruiting delivery across your team, using pipeline health, pass‑through rates, time to fill, and offer outcomes to diagnose problems and guide action.
• Strengthen ATS data integrity and reporting, ensuring requisition structures and workflows provide an accurate view of recruiting activity and results.
• Allocate recruiting resources thoughtfully, balancing critical searches, proactive pipeline development, and changing business needs.
• Partner with People and compensation stakeholders to align hiring plans, leveling, and offer strategies with market conditions and internal expectations.
• Help develop an early‑career recruiting approach, including coordinated interview days and the processes needed to support future hiring.
• Set clear standards for candidate experience, hiring‑manager communication, and recruiting execution across the team.
• Other duties as assigned.

Who You Are

• An experienced technical recruiting professional with a strong foundation in Engineering hiring and a track record of personally delivering senior and leadership searches.
• Approximately 2+ years of direct people‑management experience, including coaching recruiters, setting expectations, and managing performance through formal review cycles.
• Demonstrated success building or scaling Engineering recruiting processes while working with a lean team.
• Familiarity with recruiting at scale, including evergreen pipelines, team matching, interviewer calibration, and structured assessment.
• A trusted partner to senior Engineering leaders, able to clarify hiring needs, challenge assumptions, and communicate priorities and tradeoffs.
• Comfortable operating as a player‑coach, balancing team leadership with hands‑on ownership of critical searches.
• Skilled at using recruiting data to identify bottlenecks, prioritize improvements, and make decisions about resources and process.
• Strong operational judgment, with experience improving ATS workflows, reporting, and data quality.
• Able to adapt practices from larger organizations to a growing business with evolving needs and limited resources.
• Clear and collaborative in your communication, including when hiring plans are at risk or priorities need to change.
• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable building structure in an ambiguous environment.
• Early‑career recruiting or program‑building experience is a plus.

Our Benefits

In addition, for salaried positions you would also be eligible for:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision plans
• Flexible Spending/Health Savings Accounts
• Flexible PTO
• 401(k) + Company Match
• Life Insurance, Pet insurance, and more
