East Bay Community Action Program

People Operations Partner - Talent Acquisition & Analytics (Early Childhood Education Focus) Are you the kind of recruiter who reads data dashboards for fun and gets a little rush from using data to identify and solve a problem? Do you celebrate every time you find the perfect candidate? Do you believe that hiring should be equal parts strategy, storytelling, and community building? Are you passionate about early childhood education? If so we should talk. EBCAP is transforming our talent strategy - and we're looking for a Talent Acquisition & Analytics pro who can help us elevate our employer brand, sharpen our recruitment intelligence, and build strong talent pipelines across early childhood education, youth programs, and community services. If you're ready to pair your recruiting superpowers with data-driven insights (and you don't mind the occasional hiring surge sprint), this role has your name all over it. What You'll Do Lead full-cycle recruitment for Head Start, our after school programs, youth services, and community initiatives (approximately 25-40 hires annually) Build pipelines for a sustainable workforce, thanks to your partnerships with URI, RIC, CCRI, and other community programs. Design recruitment strategies that shout "we're leveling up" and attract education, mental health, and human-services professionals who want to make real impact. Own our seasonal hiring rhythm, including May and August hiring pushes. Craft recruitment marketing that's engaging, inclusive, and impossible to scroll past. Map real career pathways that help staff grow from entry-level roles to leadership positions. Turn data into decisions by building dashboards, analyzing trends, and spotting bottlenecks before they become "issues." Partner on workforce analytics, turnover insights, and strategic staffing forecasts. Support compliance (yes, the serious part) by helping coordinate background checks, credentialing, audits, and state/federal requirements. Shape organizational learning & development, including co-leading our Manager School curriculum and supporting organization-wide culture initiatives.
