We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. (Note: For EpiSci job openings, fully remote work will be considered by exception.)

About the role

We’re looking for a Recruiting Program Manager to architect and scale the automation infrastructure behind our recruiting team. You’ll lead the design and rollout of AI-augmented systems—from sourcing agents and co-pilots to dynamic offer workflows and integrated portals—all aimed at enhancing speed, accuracy, and candidate experience.

This is a first-of-its-kind role at Applied Intuition. You’ll work closely with engineers, recruiting leaders, and teams across the company to bring automation and tooling into every part of the hiring process. The goal: empower hiring teams to move faster and smarter by enabling them with systems that complement their frontline efforts.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Build and scale recruiting automation infrastructure—from AI sourcing agents to co-pilot tools
• Drive the systems roadmap by connecting our ATS, CRM, scheduling, and candidate-facing tools into a cohesive, automated recruiting ecosystem
• Collaborate closely with engineers to design backend workflows and integrate systems across platforms
• Enable hiring teams by delivering tools that automate manual tasks, surface key insights, and reduce latency in the process
• Launch candidate portals and real-time feedback interfaces to create a world-class experience
• Pilot emerging technologies and lead lightweight experimentation to assess what delivers measurable impact
• Own recruiting metrics infrastructure and help the team make faster, more data-informed decisions

We're looking for someone who has:

• 3+ years of experience in recruiting systems, operations, or technical program management
• A strong product mindset and track record of launching internal tools or automation programs
• Familiarity with traditional recruiting platforms (i.e, Greenhouse, GEM) and new to market platforms
• Technical fluency—you’re comfortable in discussions about APIs, data flows, and backend logic
• Strong cross-functional instincts—you know how to collaborate with engineers, ops, and recruiters alike
• A bias toward action, strong attention to detail, and a love for systems thinking

Nice to have:

• A background in software engineering or technical product development
• Experience in a high-growth startup or enterprise software environment
• Background in sourcing operations, recruiting analytics, or systems design
• Exposure to AI- or LLM-driven recruiting tools and workflow automation
• Experience in front-end tooling or internal UX for ops teams

The salary range for this position is $115,600 - $168,500 USD annually. This salary range is an estimate, and the actual salary may vary based on the Company's compensation practices.
