People Operations Specialist

Full-Cycle Recruiting

You'll own the end-to-end recruiting process for roles across the company, from intake calls with hiring managers through offer negotiation. Source, screen, and manage candidate pipelines using our ATS, partnering closely with hiring managers on role requirements and timelines. Track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline health, source effectiveness) and report regularly to leadership.

People Operations Support

Support onboarding and offboarding processes to ensure a smooth experience for new hires and departing employees. Maintain accurate employee records and HRIS data. Assist with benefits administration and respond to employee questions on policies and programs. Help maintain compliance with employment law across the states (and potentially countries) where Blackthorn has employees.

About Blackthorn

Blackthorn turns any organization's Salesforce® CRM into event planning software powered by their connected data. We're a growing, distributed team with teammates across the globe, and we build Salesforce-native tools that help teams create events, engage attendees, process payments, and measure success — all without leaving their CRM. Our customers range from tiny nonprofits to global corporations, and our products are known for going live in hours, not weeks. We believe the best enterprise software should feel as intuitive as the apps you use every day.

Why our work matters

Most event management tools force teams to juggle disconnected systems, wrestle with flimsy integrations, and spend more time syncing data than planning events. We're building the alternative: a connected platform inside Salesforce that gives organizations richer analytics to prove event ROI, better attendee experiences through personalization and automation, and the flexibility to fit any workflow.

What the job will bring you

• A deep level of satisfaction through ownership of your role.
• You'll get more autonomy than at other companies (our team has told us).
• Connection. Our team is tightly knit, assisted through occasional team meetups (as we're remote).
• Challenge. We're trying to move as quickly as possible. This is not for you if you want to sit back and chill.

Our mission is to make event planning easier and more efficient by leveraging Salesforce's native capabilities. We're a distributed team with offices around the world, and we're passionate about creating solutions that help businesses grow and thrive.
