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 Recruitment Job Search
Quantify your hiring pipeline results
Head of recruitment roles are won or lost on outcomes. Replace vague claims with concrete numbers: hires per quarter, time-to-fill improvements, and offer acceptance rates. Hiring managers at this level read dozens of resumes from people who managed recruiting teams, so your metrics need to stand out.
Tailor your resume to company stage
A startup scaling from 50 to 200 people needs a head of recruitment who can build infrastructure from scratch. An enterprise needs someone who can manage compliance and vendor relationships. Read each job description closely and lead with the experience that matches that specific growth stage.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of recruitment openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Signal strategic influence, not just execution
Many head of recruitment candidates get screened out for appearing too operational. Your resume and cover letter should show how you shaped hiring strategy, advised leadership on workforce planning, or built the team that delivered results, not just that you filled requisitions on time.
Prepare for a multi-stage panel process
Expect to interview with the CHRO, CFO, and functional hiring managers, not just HR leadership. Each stakeholder will probe a different angle: culture fit, budget accountability, and cross-functional partnership. Prepare distinct talking points for each audience before your first screen.
Negotiate your team's resources, not just your offer
When you receive an offer, the headcount you'll manage, your recruiting tech stack budget, and your ability to hire contract sourcers matter as much as base pay. Ask directly about these in your final-round conversation so there are no surprises once you start.
Head of Recruitment Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head of recruitments?
HARVEY, Sonar, and Vantor are hiring the most head of recruitments right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to be highest at companies in active growth phases or undergoing organizational restructuring.
How many head of recruitment jobs are remote?
About 75% of head of recruitment openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility trends in HR leadership roles. Sub-areas like executive search strategy, talent analytics, and employer branding tend to have the highest share of remote-eligible positions compared to roles requiring on-site presence for high-volume or campus hiring programs.
How do you become a head of recruitment?
Most heads of recruitment build their path by starting in full-cycle recruiting, then moving into a team lead or recruiting manager role where they gain direct reports and program ownership. From there, the step up typically requires demonstrating strategic impact, such as redesigning a hiring process, building an employer brand, or leading a significant scale-up. Developing cross-functional relationships with finance and operations accelerates the transition from manager to head of function.
Can you get a head of recruitment job with limited leadership experience?
It is possible, particularly at smaller companies or early-stage startups where you may be the first dedicated recruiting hire and build the function from the ground up. If your formal people-management experience is limited, emphasize project leadership: instances where you owned a hiring initiative end-to-end, mentored junior recruiters, or drove a process improvement that affected the whole team. Targeting organizations with under a hundred employees gives you the best opening.
What does the head of recruitment interview process look like?
The process typically runs three to five rounds and involves a broader set of stakeholders than most recruiting roles. You can expect an initial screen with HR, a deeper competency interview with the CHRO or VP of People, and a panel with senior business leaders who will ask about partnership and workforce planning. Many employers also include a case study or presentation asking you to diagnose a hiring challenge and propose a strategy, so prepare a structured framework before your final rounds.
