About Us

About the Role

We’re excited to bring on a Talent Acquisition, Coordinator & Ops Specialist on a 6-month fixed-term contract to help us scale our fast-growing GTM organization at dbt Labs. This is a critical role as we aim to significantly grow our revenue-generating teams across EMEA. 

You'll be a critical part of this team as you support the EMEA-based TA Team, and work to solve global TA Operations-focused initiatives that scale. If you love diving into the weeds; creating, tweaking, owning reports; and using data to inform stakeholders, we'd love to hear from you!

This role is central to building a frictionless candidate experience and supporting scalable, data-driven hiring practices. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring our talent acquisition systems, processes, and workflows run smoothly behind the scenes. While you won’t be actively sourcing or interviewing candidates, you will partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and other stakeholders to optimize our end-to-end hiring operations.

What You’ll Do

• Coordinate and Support Recruitment Activities:
  Manage interview scheduling, communications, and logistics to ensure a white-glove experience for candidates and hiring teams.

• System & Tool Management:
  Maintain and enhance our applicant tracking system (Greenhouse) and related recruitment tools, ensuring data accuracy and usability.

• Data & Reporting:
  Track and analyze hiring metrics (e.g., time-to-fill, candidate conversion rates) to surface insights and support continuous improvement.

• Candidate Experience:
  Own the candidate experience touchpoints and troubleshoot issues with empathy and urgency to ensure a positive journey.

• Compliance & Documentation:
  Ensure hiring processes align with company policies and applicable labor regulations, and maintain accurate documentation throughout the process.

• Vendor & Tool Research:
  Evaluate new tools and technologies that could automate tasks, improve hiring speed, and reduce costs.

Who You Are

• 2–4 years of experience in recruiting coordination, talent operations, or HR operations—ideally in a fast-paced tech environment.

• You are proficient at leverage Greenhouse for both candidate and stakeholder management, deeply understanding the ins-and-outs of this ATS.

• You’re passionate about operational excellence and are successful at creating order from chaos.

• Proficient in working with data in tools like Google Sheets, Excel, or BI tools; you can tell a story with numbers.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills—you’re empathetic and thrive in cross-functional collaboration.

• A proactive problem solver who can identify opportunities and act on them without being asked.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Remote-first culture with a strong emphasis on autonomy and flexibility

• A vibrant, inclusive team of builders and thinkers

• Transparent leadership and a clear company mission

• Opportunities for growth and learning across the People team

What We Offer

As a fixed-term contractor, you’ll be an essential member of our team, with access to the support and tools you need to succeed. While this contract does not include long-term benefits such as equity or parental leave, you will be eligible for:

• Hourly rate commensurable with experience

• Potential for extension or consideration for future roles
