Desirable

• We are looking for a Recruiting Coordination Lead that is the conductor of the candidate experience
• You believe that coordination is a performance art—part logistics, part hospitality, and part strategy
• You will lead, mentor, and inspire a growing team of Recruiting Coordinators, ensuring that as Zipline scales, our candidate touchpoints remain seamless, personal, and high-touch
• You have a "hands-on" leadership style, operating with high energy, extreme ownership, and a relentless commitment to helping our candidates and hiring managers feel supported from first screen to final offer
• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Lead, coach, and develop our Recruiting Coordination team. Set clear performance standards, manage capacity planning, and provide daily support to ensure the team is balanced, engaged, and performing at their best

• Operational Execution: Oversee the day-to-day logistics for our high-volume hiring pipelines. Ensure the team is moving with precision, speed, and accuracy in high-pressure environments
• Recruiter & Stakeholder Partnership: Act as the primary bridge between the Coordination team and Recruiting Partners. Ensure RCs are effectively embedded in their respective hiring squads and are proactive partners to our Hiring Managers
• Performance & Quality Assurance: Track team metrics (e.g., scheduling speed, interview panel health, NPS) to ensure we are meeting our internal SLAs. Foster a culture of high accountability where feedback is sought, used, and acted upon
• Onboarding & Training: Own the onboarding experience for new RCs — building ramp plans and training materials to get new hires up to speed quickly
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with People Ops, IT, Facilities, Executive Assistants, etc
• Process Adoption: Own the execution of recruiting workflows to maintain data integrity and consistency
