Talent Attraction Program Manager

Overview Zipline is looking for a Talent Attraction Program Manager to join our team in South San Francisco. This is a strategic talent acquisition position for a builder who understands the recruiting lifecycle and knows how to translate it into high-impact, memorable events and employer brand campaigns. Responsibilities Lead the end-to-end strategy and execution for a diverse recruiting event portfolio, including industry conferences, technical hackathons, open houses, and executive‑led panels. Own the vision, logistics, and ROI. Collaborate closely with Marketing and Communications to develop creative employer brand campaigns. Develop creative swag for recruiting events that evangelize our products and mission. Oversee our careers site and employer brand presence across relevant social media platforms and recruiting tools, ensuring a cohesive and engaging candidate experience. Partner directly with executive stakeholders, Recruiting Managers, and cross‑functional teams to align event goals with hiring needs.

Demonstrate a proven track record of tying event activities directly to talent outcomes. Qualifications 7+ years in recruiting and project management combined, with a strong background in full‑cycle recruiting. You understand what makes a candidate say “yes,” what the pain points are in the candidate journey, and how to use events to solve for those gaps. You aren’t just looking to host an event; you are looking to build a pipeline. You leverage data to evaluate which campaigns are working and which need iteration. Exceptional written and verbal communication with a proven track record of providing regular status updates to key stakeholders and recruiting leadership. You know when to push back to maintain hiring standards and when to support the broader team. You are a master of logistics who can pivot when things don’t go according to plan, and have a track record of executing complex projects on time and under budget. You thrive in an environment where everyone chips in to reach a common goal. You are collaborative, humble, and ready to contribute to our mission alongside the rest of the recruiting team. Previous experience in a startup environment and/or a company going through hyper‑growth. Experience recruiting across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, operations, aviation, robotics, autonomy, hardware, software, or logistics. Experience with Greenhouse, GEM, Jira, Confluence, and Google Suite. #J-18808-Ljbffr Zipline
