We’re hiring an Operations Manager at Fazit
Fazit is a growing beauty brand known for our makeup patches and glitter freckles — sold on our own site and through retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon. We’re a small, fast-moving team, and we’re looking for an organized, detail-loving Operations Manager to help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
This is a great role for someone who loves bringing order to the day-to-day and wants real ownership and room to grow with a scaling brand.
What you’ll do:
- Keep our inventory organized and flag when it’s time to reorder
- Coordinate with our warehouses and shipping partners to make sure orders go out on time
- Help manage purchase orders and follow up with suppliers
- Support our Amazon and retail accounts like Faire
- Keep our trackers, spreadsheets, and systems up to date
- Jump in on the little operational things that keep a small business moving
You might be a great fit if you:
- Have 2–4 years of experience in operations, logistics, e-commerce, or a coordinator role
- Are super organized, reliable, and comfortable juggling lots of moving pieces
- Know your way around spreadsheets and learn new tools quickly
- Communicate clearly and like being the person who keeps things on track
- Bonus: experience with Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, or consumer products
This is a remote, US-based role on a friendly, hard-working team. If you’re the kind of person who loves checking things off a list and making operations run like clockwork, we’d love to hear from you.
Pay: $52,000.00 - $56,000.00 per year

Tips for Your Head of Recruiting Job Search
Quantify your recruiting pipeline metrics
Hiring leaders expect to see numbers behind your work. Replace vague claims with specific figures: time-to-fill reductions, offer acceptance rates, or the volume of roles you managed simultaneously. These details set your resume apart from other candidates.
Tailor your resume to company stage
A startup head of recruiting role demands different skills than one at a Fortune 500. Highlight high-volume, scrappy hiring experience for early-stage companies and structured program-building for enterprise employers. Matching your narrative to company maturity signals immediate fit.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of recruiting openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target job postings by function not title
Head of recruiting roles are posted under a dozen different titles: talent acquisition lead, director of recruiting, VP of people, and more. Searching by function rather than a single title surfaces openings you would otherwise miss when scanning job boards.
Prepare a recruiting philosophy statement
Interviewers for senior recruiting roles consistently ask how you think about talent strategy, not just execution. Draft a concise answer covering how you approach sourcing, candidate experience, and hiring manager alignment before your first interview so your answer sounds practiced, not improvised.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
When evaluating an offer, clarify headcount targets, budget authority, and reporting structure before accepting. These factors determine how much you can actually accomplish. Candidates who ask precise operational questions in negotiations signal the strategic mindset the role demands.
Head of Recruiting Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head of recruitings?
Sonar, Vantor, and Pigment are hiring the most head of recruitings right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, California, and Wisconsin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially strong at technology companies and health systems undergoing rapid growth.
How many head of recruiting jobs are remote?
About 67% of head of recruiting openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting sustained flexibility for senior talent roles. Talent strategy, sourcing leadership, and recruiting operations functions tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles tied to on-site hiring programs or executive search often require a physical presence.
How do you become a head of recruiting?
Start by building several years of full-cycle recruiting experience across different functions, then move into a team lead or recruiting manager role to develop hiring process ownership and stakeholder management skills. From there, demonstrate impact through measurable outcomes like reduced time-to-fill or improved offer acceptance rates, and position yourself for a head-level role by owning a recruiting function end to end.
Can you get a head of recruiting job without direct leadership experience?
Some employers will consider candidates who have led recruiting projects, mentored junior recruiters, or owned a full function without a formal manager title. To strengthen your candidacy, document any cross-functional coordination, process improvements, or team-level accountability you held. Targeting smaller companies or high-growth startups that need their first recruiting hire is often the most accessible entry point.
What does the head of recruiting interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter screen, followed by a hiring manager conversation focused on your recruiting philosophy and past leadership experience. Later rounds often include a panel with HR, finance, or department heads, and a take-home or live case study asking you to build a hiring plan or diagnose a recruiting bottleneck. Final stages usually involve a conversation with a C-suite or people executive.
