Senior Program Manager, Recruiting Performance Partner

This role will be based in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, Chicago, or New York.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

AI is reshaping the future of recruiting, but great hiring still depends on humans making great decisions. This role exists to strengthen them.

The Senior Program Manager, Recruiting Performance Partner builds the performance model that helps recruiters and leaders improve outcomes in the flow of work.

This role is designed for a recruiter who knows the craft and can also see the system behind it. You have carried reqs, coached others, and learned to spot the patterns that affect quality and speed. You know how to use AI to strengthen judgment, test workflows, and scale what works.
