Job Description
About ElevenLabs ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology. We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $11B - multiples of 11, always. We have expanded from voice into three main platforms: ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale. ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages. ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models. Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you. How we work High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy. Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you. AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations. Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models. Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location. What we offer Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities. Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend. Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose. Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy. Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend. About the role ElevenLabs is growing fast — and as head of Talent Operations, you'll be the strategic force that makes that growth possible at scale. This isn't a support role. You'll own the infrastructure, tooling, strategy, and team that power how ElevenLabs hires across every function and every market. You'll work directly with the Head of Talent and senior leadership to translate hiring ambitions into operational reality — whether that's standing up a specific hiring programme across new markets, designing the frameworks that make our interviewers more calibrated, or architecting the integration between our HRIS and ATS to eliminate manual work at scale. The problems are large, the autonomy is real, and the impact is immediate. This role requires you to be an IC as well as a lead, driving the team forward whilst having the technical aptitude and attitude to dive into topics and help the team build solutions. Specifically, you will: Own the end-to-end talent technology stack — leading vendor strategy, managing relationships, making build vs. buy decisions, and ensuring tools are configured, integrated, and used to their full potential. Identify, design and drive org-wide hiring programmes and frameworks — from interview evaluation systems, to our headcount planning solution and multi-market hiring playbooks. Lead and develop a team of Talent Operators and Coordinators, setting direction, managing priorities, and creating the conditions for the team to operate at pace without sacrificing quality or candidate experience. Own the talent data strategy — defining what we measure, building dashboards and reports that surface what matters, and making sure the whole team is working from the same picture. Act as the strategic interface between Talent and cross-functional partners across People, Finance, Legal, and Engineering, managing complex stakeholder relationships and unblocking hiring at every level. Identify and eliminate operational drag — building durable SOPs, designing scalable processes, and deploying automation (n8n, AI tooling, custom integrations) wherever it meaningfully reduces friction. Own core functional processes such as headcount planning.
