About the Role
We’re hiring a Recruitment Manager to own how we select participants for our programs, especially the Impact Accelerator Program (IAP).
Our capacity to select the right participants is currently what limits how many rounds of the IAP we can run. That makes this role central to more than doubling the number of people going through the program in 2027, and to scaling it beyond that.
You’ll own the application process itself. With data from 10 past application rounds, you’ll keep improving the balance between getting the information we need and keeping the process short and useful for applicants. You’ll also support HIP’s own hiring rounds so we can keep scaling our impact. This is a role with real ownership from day one, on a small, high-trust team.
Working closely with our Director of Programs, you’ll:
- Lead IAP selection: run the IAP’s selection process and take the lead on who we offer a place, from the initial application form to reviewing applicants’ recorded interviews.
- Improve the process: use data from past application rounds to learn which selection signals actually predict strong participants and career transitions, finding the right balance between keeping the process quick for applicants and handling many more applications without losing decision quality, and with it high-impact career transitions.
- Support HIP’s own hiring rounds: run parts of HIP’s hiring rounds, including screening, test tasks, interview scheduling and candidate communications, alongside the hiring manager.
- Shape the funnel: work closely with our Director of Programs and Director of Marketing so we reach the right candidates in the first place, and the right people are selected into the program.
- Look after candidates: make sure applicants, including the many we can’t accept, have a good experience and are pointed to their best next step, such as our other programs.
