Recruiting Project Manager

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, and its Recruiting Strategy & Enablement Team enhances the quality and efficiency of the global recruiting function. The Recruiting Project Manager will own strategic recruiting programs end-to-end, lead change management and enablement initiatives, improve recruiting operations, and manage governance, compliance, and shifting priorities.

Responsibilities:

• Own and steer strategic programs' objectives and key result areas, including tracking and reporting metrics and overall program management
• Lead change management initiatives within our recruiting teams and collaborate with partners to facilitate seamless transitions
• Drive enablement strategies that support program adoption, including comms plans, FAQs, and stakeholder-facing resources
• Identify and implement operational improvements across recruiting programs and processes, maximizing their effectiveness and efficiency
• Design training guides and educational materials to enhance the skill set of recruiters
• Collaborate closely with Global Recruiting Leads and Hiring Managers to pinpoint and execute high-priority initiatives that elevate our recruiting efforts
• Manage portfolio-level governance: run SteerCos, track workstream DRIs, synthesize progress, and report to leadership on program health and outcomes
• Navigate global regulatory and compliance requirements that impact recruiting processes (e.g., pay transparency, pre-employment checks, data privacy), partnering with legal, HR compliance, and People Partners
• Absorb emerging work as priorities shift — such as hiring sprints, organizational transitions, or rapid-turnaround projects — with minimal ramp time

Requirements:

• Proven expertise in program, change, and project management within a dynamic, global, high-growth environment
• Experience owning and launching strategic programs that drive measurable quality and efficiency improvements in a People or HR function
• Experience building, launching, or managing AI-powered programs or assessments — not just personal AI tool use, but owning the strategy, piloting, and rollout of AI-enabled workflows or products
• Demonstrated initiative, autonomy, and critical thinking with keen attention to detail
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and drive alignment across multiple teams
• Functional experience in recruiting, with a minimum of three years in the field
• Ability to interpret recruiting metrics, build light reporting or dashboards, and use data to diagnose problems and make recommendations
• Familiarity with recruiting technology ecosystems (e.g., ATS, CRM, scheduling tools, assessment platforms) and comfort learning new systems quickly
