About the Talent Acquisition Team

Mixpanel’s Talent Acquisition team builds a world-class organization while delivering an exceptional candidate experience. We act as trusted partners to our leaders, advising on hiring strategies and best practices across functions and regions.

About the Role

At Mixpanel, our mission is to help the world learn from its data. We believe that building great teams starts with great hiring experiences—and we’re looking for a Talent Operations and Systems Lead to help us scale that mission globally.

You’ll own the systems, processes, and reporting frameworks that power Mixpanel’s global recruiting function—from headcount reconciliation and req management through to analytics and executive reporting. You’ll be the operational center of gravity connecting Finance, Talent Acquisition, and Hiring Managers—while also modernizing how we work through smarter, automated, and AI-enabled systems.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in both detail and design: ensuring our current recruiting processes run smoothly, while continuously improving and automating them so they’re less manual, less dependent, and more scalable.

What You’ll Do

• Own recruiting operations: Manage headcount reconciliation, role approvals, and system accuracy across Greenhouse, CandorIQ, and Finance tools.
• Automate and optimize: Identify ways to streamline workflows, reduce manual steps, and improve consistency through AI and automation.
• Lead recruiting analytics: Build dashboards, track pipeline health and hiring velocity, and deliver insights that inform strategic decisions.
  Run leadership reporting: Design and deliver Talent QBRs and executive updates with clear, actionable data stories.
  Manage systems: Serve as Greenhouse admin, oversee integrations, and evaluate new tools that elevate recruiting efficiency and experience.
• Champion efficiency and compliance: Ensure operational excellence, audit readiness, and data integrity across all recruiting processes.
• Stay curious: Explore and pilot AI use cases—from job description generation to reporting automation—and scale what works.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition or HR, including 3+ in operations, analytics, or systems.
• Proven ability to manage headcount workflows and partner closely with Finance.
• Expertise with Greenhouse (or similar ATS), recruiting analytics, and tool integration.
• Strong data fluency—able to design dashboards, interpret trends, and influence with insights.
• Experience automating workflows and experimenting with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A continuous improvement mindset and passion for creating simple, scalable systems.

Bonus Points

• Experience connecting ATS, HRIS, and Finance systems for unified headcount tracking.
• Experience preparing executive QBRs or talent analytics dashboards.
• A knack for simplifying complex systems and workflows.
