Role
Who you are
- This is an opportunity for someone who’s entrepreneurial, disciplined, and energized by the challenge of scaling a fast growing tech company by influencing its most important driver of success: its people
- You’ve spent 4-7 years helping venture-backed, high-growth technology companies attract and retain great people
- You’ve partnered across every corner of the org (e.g., GTM, Product, Engineering) and you love figuring out what makes people value-additive to the organization
- You thrive in ambiguous situations and know how to operate in the “grey area” between problems and processes. You don’t require prescriptive direction and are motivated by the opportunity to propose novel solutions to challenges others haven’t yet addressed
- You’ve built (or rebuilt) playbooks, scorecards, and employee experiences that feel thoughtful and human. You’re just as comfortable mapping a performance management strategy as you are jumping into a sourcing sprint
- You communicate clearly, think systematically, and use strong judgment to make critical decisions
- You’re creative and entrepreneurial. You’d rather develop bespoke solutions than run the same play as the other team
- You’re tech-savvy and focused on relentless personal development, recognizing that technology only amplifies the importance of human capability
- Most of all, you’re humble, curious, and down to earth. You care about people, education, and building something that matters - and you want to help BusRight grow by finding the kind of teammates who care just as much
What the job involves

From GTM to Engineering, you’ll turn data and storytelling into a recruiting engine that’s scalable, human, and uniquely BusRight
- Take the lead in building the recruiting tools and frameworks that will shape the future of BusRight. You’ll partner directly with the CEO and his Leadership Team to define what great hiring looks like, craft a consistent and thoughtful candidate experience, and ensure BusRight scales with the right people in the right roles at the right time
- You’ll design the connection between hiring managers, candidates, and our culture, so that every new BusRighter embodies our mission and our belief that great people are the engine behind every mile on this journey
- Talent Acquisition (50%)
- Lead the full recruiting journey across every department, from the first outreach to the final offer, ensuring every candidate experience reflects our core tenet of magical hospitality

- Collaborate with Marketing and Leadership to bring BusRight’s employer brand to life through storytelling, events, and creative outreach that show who we are and why people love working here

- Write and maintain internal policies and procedures that ensure both compliance with state and federal legislation as well as consistent employee experience
Our take
In the US, there is a growing student transportation crisis from school bus driver shortages, intricate route planning, and increasing demands from parents and caregivers for better communication and safety. With an estimated 480,000 buses carrying over 26M students daily, and an annual expenditure of nearly $30 billion, the challenges facing the sector are substantial.
To tackle these issues, BusRight leverages proprietary technology including routing software, real-time GPS, dynamic driver navigation, and a bus-tracking app for parents. The platform simplifies route management for school administrators and drivers while offering parents peace of mind regarding the whereabouts of their children.
BusRight saw a revenue increase of over 700% in 2022, as well as minimal customer churn, reflecting the growing demand for its services. Funding awarded in 2023 allowed it to increase its headcount, accelerate product development, and expand its customer base. It's offering not only streamlines school transportation but also fosters a sense of confidence among caregivers, while allowing school administrators to focus on education rather than transportation logistics, all making it a strong option in the space.
