About Rox
Rox is building the AI-native revenue operating system for modern go-to-market teams. We operate with high talent density, high ownership, and measurable outcomes.
Our Talent function mirrors that philosophy.
We do not treat recruiting as coordination. We treat it as an engineered system. We build workflows like product teams. We measure signal like operators. We use AI deliberately, not cosmetically.
Why This Role Exists
As Rox scales, the difference between average hiring and engineered hiring compounds quickly.
Without intentional system design:
Candidate experience degrades
Hiring managers lose confidence
Data becomes fragmented
Recruiting velocity becomes unpredictable
This role exists to prevent entropy.
We are hiring a Talent Ops Lead to design, administer, and continuously improve the operational backbone of Rox’s hiring engine. This is not just ATS management. This is talent engineering.
You will own the candidate journey, the system architecture behind it, and the AI tooling that powers signal and efficiency.
What You’ll Own
Candidate Experience (33%)
Design and optimize the full candidate journey from first touch to offer
Ensure interview orchestration is clean, fast, and high-signal
Eliminate friction across scheduling, feedback collection, and communication
Build systems that make candidates feel clarity, rigor, and respect
Monitor candidate NPS and experience quality metrics
Candidate experience at Rox should feel intentional and world-class.
System Administration (33%)
Own Ashby configuration, workflows, and system hygiene
Design structured data models that improve hiring signal
Build dashboards and reporting tied to Unified Talent Backlog goals
Create scalable process guardrails across P0, P1, and P2 roles
Maintain integrations and automation reliability
This role ensures our systems scale before chaos sets in.
AI Tooling & Automation (33%)
Design and implement AI-enabled recruiting workflows
Improve sourcing precision and signal extraction
Build automations that reduce manual recruiter work
Integrate AI into interview feedback loops and scorecards
Continuously evaluate emerging tools to increase leverage
At Rox, AI is not optional. It is embedded into how we operate.
What Success Looks Like
In your first 3 days:
You understand Rox’s hiring bar, current workflows, and system architecture.
Within 3 weeks:
You’ve identified bottlenecks in candidate experience and system performance and implemented early improvements.
Within 3 months:
You’ve materially improved hiring velocity, system reliability, and AI leverage — with measurable impact across the Unified Talent Backlog.
Must-Have Skills
3+ years in Talent Operations, Recruiting Ops, or People Systems
Deep experience with ATS configuration (Ashby preferred)
Strong systems thinking and process design capability
Comfort building and maintaining automations
Data fluency and operational rigor
High ownership mentality and bias toward clarity
The Rox Difference
This is not a back-office role.
This is the seat responsible for ensuring Rox’s hiring engine scales with precision. If you are excited about building recruiting infrastructure with the same intentionality as product or engineering systems, this is your role.
