## About the Role

Do you have experience in Talent management?

## Description

The talent funnel from application to active project. ~1,500 experts in flight at any time. You own the systems, metrics, and process improvements that get more of them activated and keep them active.

This is supply chain operations for a curated expert network. Not community management. Not recruiting. The expert community is the company's compounding asset, and your job is to make that true in practice. The supply graph is your product. The activation workflow is your product. Onboarding, calibration, and bridging between projects are your product.

This is an execute and build role. Most of the infrastructure doesn't exist yet. You'll join work already underway and build the structure as you run it.

Day to day

 * You own the weekly funnel dashboard. Five numbers, every Monday: apps portfolio yes tested passed contracted staffed. You publish, the team reacts.
 * You collapse the nine-plus-step onboarding into fewer steps. You find the single-person bottlenecks and eliminate them.
 * You make Airtable the source of truth for every stage. Retire the side spreadsheets and Notions where possible, or sync them in.
 * You build and run the activation model. The bench is full of vetted experts who never made it to a project. Getting them activated is the job.
 * You run reactivation campaigns. Send the sequences, track replies and bookings, route conversations to the right person, report what converted., * You think of community management as content programming: events, newsletters, swag
 * You can't distinguish between "building a community" and "building a guild"
 * Your background is volume recruiting: fill rate over fit
 * You need someone to chase you for the Monday numbers
 * You produce polished work but slowly. Polished alone is not the bar.
