Recruiting Coordinator

At Vannevar, hiring exceptional people is one of the highest-leverage things we do. We're competing for talent in a market where speed matters, and where a great candidate experience can make the difference between landing someone and losing them.

As our Recruiting Coordinator, you'll own the scheduling and logistics that keep our hiring process moving. You'll coordinate interviews across Engineering and Mission, work directly with recruiters and hiring managers, and make sure candidates have a consistently excellent experience from their first conversation through their final interview.

We’re a small team of ~200 mission-driven people, and hiring is one of our biggest priorities over the next year. This is a high-ownership role. You’ll work directly with our recruiters and engineering leadership, and you’ll have real influence on how interviewing works at Vannevar.
