Full Job Description

Head of HR Operations and Systems Overview You’re a great Human Resources Operations and Systems Leader who is so passionate about the day to day work of HR Operations that you’re willing to join an early stage company to build out the HR Ops function by doing all the dirty work yourself for a long period of time. You’re likely especially willing because this role gets you behind the curtain of HR technology, enabling you to geek out at the intersection of People technology, process and data. You care so deeply about operational excellence, company efficiency and system enabled employee experience, that it makes you outspoken compared to the majority of HR Ops professionals and you would relish constantly experimenting with better ways to do HR Operations. This role will initially have one report, our recruiting operations lead. About the Role Hi 👋🏼 I'm Jim https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm/, the VP of People and Talent at Ashby. I’ve been lucky enough in my career to have been in roles that change the landscape of TA technology we use every day, been exposed to massive hiring data sets and been tasked with reimagining TA processes across a wide range of company scales. I joined Ashby to continue this work and to be a disruptor in how companies hire and support great people. I’m looking for a thought partner on the HR Operations and Systems side of our People function and we’re at the scale now that will support that role. To be clear, this role is in our internal People team, not a customer facing role in our Professional Services team, however, I expect you will still end up speaking to customers and prospective customers! This role will be the foundation of how we scale the next iterations of Ashby as a company. You will be expected to review all our existing People practices and drive the right change for what we need now, what we will be and beyond. That change will include low level polish (think template editing and creation) to process chan
