Talent Operations - Program Manager

ElevenLabs is scaling fast — and Talent Operations is at the center of making that happen. We're looking for someone to own the infrastructure behind a high-volume, high-urgency hiring push: managing recruiting agencies, onboarding and coordinating recruiting contractors, and ensuring we have the capacity and vendor ecosystem to hit aggressive headcount targets. This is a hands‑on program‑management role. You'll be the connective tissue between our internal recruiting team, external partners, and hiring stakeholders — making sure nothing falls through the cracks when we're moving at speed. Once the immediate surge is resourced and running, you'll expand into broader Talent Ops programs: tooling, automation, data, and process design. Responsibilities Own relationships with hiring agencies and recruiting contractors end‑to‑end — sourcing, onboarding, performance tracking, and vendor management. Build and maintain capacity plans that map hiring demand to recruiter and agency supply, flagging gaps before they become blockers. Program‑manage surge hiring initiatives, coordinating across internal recruiters, external partners, and recruiters to keep pipelines moving. Design lightweight but durable SOPs for how we engage and manage external recruiting partners at scale. Track and report on agency and contractor performance, cost‑per‑hire, and fill rates — surfacing insights to improve how we deploy capacity. Transition into broader Talent Ops work over time: workflow automation, tooling, dashboards, and recruiter enablement by identifying and recommending the agencies we work with and supporting a seamless calibration process. Requirements Proven experience managing recruiting vendors, staffing agencies, or contractor workforces — you know how to hold external partners accountable to results. Strong program‑management instincts: you can run multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping balls. Comfortable building structure where little exists — capacity models, trackers, SOPs, and reporting from scratch. Data‑driven: you track what matters, spot problems early, and communicate clearly with numbers. Excellent stakeholder management — you can work across recruiting, finance, and hiring managers without friction. Nice to have Experience supporting high‑volume or international hiring surges. Familiarity with ATS platforms, particularly Ashby. Ability to vibe‑code or automate workflows to reduce manual overhead. If you enjoy working in a fast‑paced environment, making data‑driven decisions, and driving business impact, this could be a great fit. Location This role is remote and can be executed globally. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in London, New York, San Francisco, and Warsaw.
