worldwideRemotiveover 2 years agoOpen Philanthropy is looking to hire a Recruiting Manager to help us build the strongest possible team as we grow. We are currently a ~65-person team giving away over $450 million per year, and we plan to more than double our giving over the coming years. We are working to identify and address the largest drivers of both present-day suffering and risk to future generations. We believe we have an opportunity to make measurable progress on some of the most important and neglected problems facing the world today, and think hiring the right people over the coming years will be critical for helping us reach our potential as an organization.
Please apply by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on August 22, 2022 to be considered. We will evaluate all applicants as a cohort after that date, and you should expect to hear back within about a week of the deadline.
< class="h2">About the Recruiting Team
You would lead a small, in-house recruiting team. Our core areas of work currently include:
-
Helping Open Philanthropy hire. We support hiring managers with scoping roles, drafting job descriptions, developing and testing work tests, sourcing candidates, managing our candidate pipelines, evaluating applications and more.
-
Building the infrastructure necessary for Open Philanthropy to tackle a much higher volume of hiring on an ongoing basis while improving both candidate and hiring manager experience. We are always refining our hiring process to make sure we are reliably capturing the organization’s evolving understanding of what factors most contribute to success at Open Philanthropy.
-
Working to continuously improve both the quality and ersity of Open Philanthropy’s talent pipelines. As part of this, we work to maintain and improve Open Philanthropy's employer brand in line with our goal of becoming known as an employer of choice in the effective altruism community and beyond.
< class="h2">About the role
In this role, you will have the opportunity to lead Open Philanthropy's recruiting team through a period of critical growth. You will initially report to our current Recruiting Manager Anya Hunt for an initial 2 month onboarding period, after which you will report to our Director of Operations Paige Henchen.
Your high-level responsibilities would include:
-
Manage the recruiting team. You will be responsible for training, mentoring and retaining a high performing recruiting team, as well as ensuring we maintain a culture of continuous improvement for the team and across our hiring practices. You will start out managing a team of four, and may take on more reports over time.
-
Strategic planning and leadership. You will set the overall vision and strategic direction for recruiting at Open Phil. You will prioritize improvement projects and new initiatives through the lens of what’s most important for meeting Open Philanthropy’s goals.
-
Stakeholder management. You will work to understand the team’s key stakeholders (inidual teams and hiring managers, Open Philanthropy leadership and candidates), communicate between them and evaluate how to balance their competing needs and priorities.
-
Enforcing quality standards in hiring. You will play an advisory role across searches, and own and safeguard the organization’s employer brand and hiring standards (e.g. sometimes you may need to advise a hiring manager to close a round without a hire if making the hire wouldn’t serve Open Phil’s best interest). You will also be the final reviewer on all recruiting-related materials, such as job descriptions, work tests and team policies.
While the majority of the work will be management and advising, you will also tackle some projects independently; we are a small organization where everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves as needed. You may also directly lead some especially sensitive or high touch hiring rounds.
< class="h2">About you
We’re looking for someone who deeply understands Open Philanthropy’s mission, shares our vision for the kind of organization we are working to become and has the skills and experience to build the recruiting function that can get us there. We think you might be a great fit for this role if you:
-
Are passionate about Open Philanthropy’s mission to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us. Ideally, you already have some familiarity with the ideas of effective altruism, and understand and empathize with the different worldviews represented among our staff.
-
Have excellent judgment about people, and the interpersonal skills necessary to build trust with a variety of stakeholders. We expect you to play a critical role in evaluating potential hires, and we expect that Open Philanthropy leadership and hiring managers will increasingly defer to your assessments over time. You will play an important role in ensuring our “bar” for talent remains high.
-
Work in a way that is consistent with our operating values of ownership, openness, calibration and inclusiveness, and feel you can model those values for others on your team and provide coaching and correction as needed.
-
Have a track record of success autonomously managing projects and people in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment. You will often need to make decisions under tight time pressure, and determine what's most important for the team to focus on with minimal oversight or guidance.
-
Have a drive to question and improve everything rather than taking it as a given. You will bring a sense of ambition to what we can aim for as a team and an organization, and translate that vision into concrete goals to push for.
You don’t need to have already worked in a primarily recruiting-focused role (though it’s a plus!), but we’ll expect you to be able to quickly learn new domains on the job as needed (e.g. develop an understanding of industry best practices and important compliance issues related to hiring).
