Job description
Talent Manager
Zack D. Films is hiring a talent manager. This role will be responsible for recruitment and retention of great people across our team who are a mixture of full time and part time employees and contractors.
The Talent Manager will report directly to the COO. They will be responsible for all outreach and recruitment efforts. They will prioritise finding, recruiting and keeping the best people for our fast growing company.
We’re recruiting hard and have a great team but responsibility for both attracting new people and keeping hold of the amazing ones we have is spread thinly across the team. We need somebody who is passionate about both recruitment and retention, who can solve problems and is familiar with working in a globally dispersed, fully remote company. Or wants to learn, fast!
🧠 What You’ll Do
Recruitment
Be the internal point of contact for all recruitment efforts. Provide regular updates to the leadership team about all open roles.
Manage our recruitment spend on LinkedIn and other platforms.
Conduct screening calls with candidates and arrange and join other interviews.
Champion robust recruitment processes (we’re a big fan of the WHO method).
Proactively approach potential candidates for all roles including great animators to join our contractor team.
Write job descriptions and work with the team to hone them to attract the best people.
Retention
Conduct pulse surveys and use other tools to identify friction points across our team.
Work with the COO to codify and optimise best practices in management to keep our team happy and productive.
Benchmark compensation across similar companies and make recommendations for any changes needed.
Work hard to make Zack D. Films a delightful and rewarding place to work and be productive.
People Operations
You’ll handle onboarding so all new team members both full & part time are up to speed in minutes, not days.
You will be the point of contact for technology requests for both hardware and software.
You’ll be responsible for ensuring our compliance is up to scratch for our W2s (workers comp, withholding returns etc) and you’ll run our 1099 process for contractors.
Everybody needs a contract and other things, you make sure they all have it all.
You will be the first point of contact for all requests from our large contractor team and managers in the full time team for any questions about people and people ops.
Requirements
Previous experience in a role where you have had responsibility for recruitment.
Exceptional organisation skills.
An ability to learn quickly. You don’t need to have operated in all the places we do (because that’s the whole world) but you need to be happy working within ambiguity and finding clarity.
Formal HR experience is not needed but you need to have worked with large, remote teams.
Be passionate about building businesses in the right way.
💡 Bonus Skills
Experience with handling payroll in the US, making international contractor payments and handling compliance.
You love automation and using either best in class off the shelf tools or building your own to streamline processes.
You’re an AI native (or at least getting there). We believe in humans but we also believe in efficiency. You need to be using all the tools available to make you as fast and as effective at your job as you can be.
📈 Success Metrics
Reduction in the time to hire for all roles.
Increase in the rate of recruitment for our “always on” roles.
ENPS > 80.
Close to zero turnover in the full time team and our part time team want to work with us more, not less.
✅ You’ll love this role if:
You vibe on putting the right people in the right role and getting the right people on the bus.
You want to be given the work to be done and left to get on with it.
You read books about recruitment and people operations for fun.
You love the thrill of the chase when hunting elusive candidates.
A happy team working hard and enjoying themselves brings you a sense of inner peace and joy.
❌ You’ll hate this role if:
You need to be managed to get your work done. We don’t do that here. You’ll have a close relationship with your manager but owning your work and getting it done is the table stakes.
You want to be a pure play recruiter. No shame in that but this job is more than that.
You want to work in a corporate environment where all the systems are already built. We’re getting there but you’re going to have to build the plane whilst flying it. That’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
You can’t handle decisions and plans changing quickly. You might put two months into a role and we decide to pull it. You need to be OK with that.
📌 Compensation & Role Type
Permanent full time role that can be done from anywhere in the world that has at least 4 hours sensible crossover with Central Time. This is a W2 role (with health insurance) for US based people and an international contractor role for those based elsewhere.
Salary starts at $90,000 USD. We can flex for the right person.
