Recruiting Coordination Lead

About You and The Role 

We are looking for a Recruiting Coordination Lead that is the conductor of the candidate experience. You believe that coordination is a performance art—part logistics, part hospitality, and part strategy. You will lead, mentor, and inspire a growing team of Recruiting Coordinators, ensuring that as Zipline scales, our candidate touchpoints remain seamless, personal, and high-touch. You have a "hands-on" leadership style, operating with high energy, extreme ownership, and a relentless commitment to helping our candidates and hiring managers feel supported from first screen to final offer.

What You’ll Do

• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Lead, coach, and develop our Recruiting Coordination team. Set clear performance standards, manage capacity planning, and provide daily support to ensure the team is balanced, engaged, and performing at their best.
• Candidate Experience Ownership: Serve as the final escalation point and "experience champion." Ensure every candidate—from initial screen to final onsite—receives a premium, high-touch experience that reflects Zipline’s values.
• Operational Execution: Oversee the day-to-day logistics for our high-volume hiring pipelines. Ensure the team is moving with precision, speed, and accuracy in high-pressure environments.
• Recruiter & Stakeholder Partnership: Act as the primary bridge between the Coordination team and Recruiting Partners. Ensure RCs are effectively embedded in their respective hiring squads and are proactive partners to our Hiring Managers.
• Performance & Quality Assurance: Track team metrics (e.g., scheduling speed, interview panel health, NPS) to ensure we are meeting our internal SLAs. Foster a culture of high accountability where feedback is sought, used, and acted upon.
• Onboarding & Training: Own the onboarding experience for new RCs — building ramp plans and training materials to get new hires up to speed quickly.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with People Ops, IT, Facilities, Executive Assistants, etc.
• Process Adoption: Own the execution of recruiting workflows to maintain data integrity and consistency.

What You’ll Bring

Minimum Qualifications:

• 4+ years of experience in Recruiting Coordination or high-volume scheduling, with a proven track record of mentoring or leading a team of coordinators.
• Strong understanding of applicant tracking systems and scheduling tools relevant to recruiting coordination. 
• Experience in fast-paced environments where priorities shift daily. You remain composed under pressure and know how to mobilize a team during hiring surges.
• You are a strong communicator who builds credibility quickly with Recruiters, Hiring Managers, and executive candidates alike.
• You possess an incredible eye for detail and identify when a process is failing and coach your team on how to bridge the gap.
• You thrive in an environment that prizes extreme ownership, low ego and continuous improvement.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Mastery of Greenhouse and GoodTime (or similar scheduling automation tools). You know these systems inside and out and can troubleshoot issues for your team on the fly.
• Previous experience directly managing a group of recruiting coordinators in a fast paced environment during hyper growth. 
• Familiarity with global or multi-timezone coordination
