Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Talent Programs & Intelligence Lead - **Company:** PEOPLE PEOPLE - **Location:** Washington, DC, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $180,000.0 - $200,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Applicant Tracking Systems, Computer Vision, Cyber Security, Data Centers, Data Warehousing, Microsoft PowerPoint, Program Design Languages, Information Technology - **Published:** September 28, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.builtincolorado.com/auth/login?destination=/job/talent-programs-intelligence-lead/11388991 ## About the Role * 8-12 years in talent management, organizational design, or People Operations, with a track record of designing, not just implementing, at least two full pieces of the employee lifecycle end to end * Demonstrated ability to build a first version of a program yourself rather than scoping it out to someone else * A track record of getting a lifecycle-wide change adopted by leaders outside your own reporting line: this is a cross-functional, individual-contributor influence role, not a people-management one * Experience operating inside high-growth or PE-backed organizations navigating real structural change * Sound judgment about where AI can responsibly replace human process and where it can't * Comfort owning an ambiguous mandate from design through sustained operation: acting as a strategic quarterback for your domain end to end Nice to Have * Background as a Talent Management or OD lead, a People Operations generalist who grew into a builder role, or an operations-minded former consultant who stayed to build rather than just recommend ## Description Sayari's People team runs flat and high-span by design, and that only works if the systems underneath get smarter every quarter instead of just busier. This role owns that system: program design, process architecture, AI-enabled workflow, and the reporting and signal infrastructure built on top of it, across the full hire-through-engagement lifecycle. This is a Principal-level, individual-contributor role with no direct reports. Influence runs through better processes and better data, not org chart weight. We're looking for a builder and operator, not a traditional program manager: someone who thinks like a product manager, operates like a systems designer, and understands talent deeply enough to know where AI can responsibly replace human judgment and where it can't. In Sayari terms, this role is a Multiplier: it exists to make every person who touches talent, HRBPs, recruiters, managers, and employees, more effective, without proportionally growing the People team., Manager Leverage * Build manager self-service tools and playbooks, including AI-enabled guidance for common decisions * Develop promotion and leveling guidance grounded in the career framework * Enable hiring managers inside the sourcing-to-hire workflow * Build manager dashboards that draw on talent and performance data Employee Lifecycle Architecture * Own the experience and operating architecture from attract through exit, looking horizontally across the lifecycle for manual work, inconsistent experience, and process friction * Design the sourcing-to-hire workflow and the standards recruiters execute against in the ATS * Architect onboarding program design and cadence * Architect offboarding process and exit-signal capture Scalable Talent Programs * Operationalize the career pathing and leveling framework: criteria and progression logic * Own performance cycle mechanics: ratings design, calibration process, and results rollup * Run the engagement and pulse survey program: cadence, action-planning process, and theme synthesis AI-Enabled Talent Operations * Act as workflow architect for the AI era: for every major talent workflow, determine what should be human, what should be AI, what should be automated, and what should disappear * Build AI-enabled recruiting administration and sourcing workflows * Develop talent data synthesis and review prep for HRBPs and calibration * Build lifecycle communications and knowledge retrieval tools for managers and employees Talent Intelligence & Signals * Build the reporting infrastructure that turns underlying people data into decisions People leadership can act on * Design intervention signal infrastructure across funnel lag, profile and compensation misalignment, disengagement, attrition, and structure or goal mismatch * Act as a thought partner to People leadership, HRBPs, and recruiters on which intervention to deploy once a signal is raised WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE * HRBPs spend more time on strategic partnership and less on repeatable admin, and can support a higher-span org without degraded quality * Recruiters spend more time with candidates and hiring leaders and less on coordination, with AI-enabled workflows doing the rest * Managers handle more of the routine lifecycle independently, with the right guidance at the right moment * People leadership has faster, better visibility into talent and organizational health, Leads CrowdStrike's Operational Services portfolio across active and pipeline deployments.
