United States onlyCOMPANY PROFILE
Code.org is an education innovation nonprofit dedicated to the vision that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn about artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science (CS) as part of their core K-12 education. We increase participation in AI+CS education by reaching students of all backgrounds where they are — at their skill level, in their schools, and in ways that inspire them to keep learning, with a focus on increasing participation by young women and students from other underrepresented groups. The leading provider of K-12 AI+CS education curriculum across the globe, Code.org also organizes the annual Hour of AI campaign, building on the legacy of the Hour of Code, which has engaged more than 15% of all students in the world!
A unifying approach in a divided world
Code.org's global role in the K-12 computer science movement is only possible because we use a unifying approach across diverse and often divided stakeholders. At a time of increasing polarization, the idea of increasing opportunity for students unites people from across the political spectrum. Code.org's team members, students, teachers, and supporters have diverse and diverging view points, and they are all welcome in our mission. Read more.
JOB SUMMARY
A note on role structure: This is a full-time position with a defined term ending one year from the start date. Extension beyond that term is possible but is not guaranteed and should not be assumed.
Hiring is one of the most important things we do, as every person who joins Code.org shapes what we can deliver for students. The Recruiting Partner owns the full hiring lifecycle from intake to offer. They find and engage exceptional talent - people whose skills and experience are genuinely aligned with what Code.org is trying to do in the world - and bring the rigor, structure, and expertise that turns hiring from guesswork into a repeatable and defensible process. The Recruiting Partner is the expert in the room on assessing talent, from designing the right assessments and structuring the right conversations to coaching Hiring Managers to evaluate what actually predicts performance. Every candidate, at every stage, gets an experience that reflects who we are.
If you believe that the people we hire determine what we can do for students, and that getting hiring right is itself mission-critical work, this role is for you.
