• Own the end-to-end hiring product experience, considering the interconnected journeys of candidates, recruiters and hiring leaders from talent attraction and job discovery through application, assessment, interview, selection, offer and transition into onboarding.
• Establish portfolio outcomes and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and use customer insights, recruiting and operational measures, business value and data to prioritize investments, capabilities, features and epics.
• Own portfolio-level prioritization and trade-off decisions, creating transparency around investment, capacity, dependencies and sequencing across the Talent Acquisition product ecosystem.
• Lead product discovery and continuous improvement using candidate, recruiter and hiring-manager research, journey insights, analytics and operational data to identify friction and opportunities to simplify and improve hiring experiences.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition subject-matter experts to translate recruiting strategies, processes, policies and regulatory requirements into scalable product capabilities while preserving appropriate governance and controls.
• Drive simplification and integration across the recruiting technology ecosystem, identifying opportunities to reduce fragmentation, eliminate manual work and unnecessary handoffs, improve reuse and create more consistent experiences.
• Shape the role of automation and AI within the Talent Acquisition portfolio, identifying opportunities to improve experiences and productivity while partnering with appropriate Risk, Legal, Technology, Data and business stakeholders on responsible use and governance.
• Manage the end-to-end product lifecycle, from strategy and discovery through design, development, deployment, adoption, measurement, optimization and modernization.
• Partner with Technology and architecture teams on the health of the Talent Acquisition technology ecosystem, balancing new capabilities with integration, reliability, scalability, modernization and technical debt.
• Champion recruiting data quality and governance, establishing clear requirements for trustworthy data, appropriate access and effective use of recruiting information across products, processes and analytics.
• Drive adoption and realization of business value, ensuring new capabilities are not simply delivered but improve the experience and effectiveness of candidates, recruiters, hiring leaders and Talent Acquisition teams.
• Lead and develop Product Managers within the portfolio, creating clear product accountability and consistent product-management practices while strengthening product thinking across business and technology partners.
