Job Description

Freight trucking is responsible for 3X more emissions than all other commercial vehicle types combined in the US, and has demonstrated very rapid customer adoption once unit economics are proven. Jaro seeks to deliver a critical enabling technology for this industry to electrify. 

Working at Jaro means not only tackling this enormous source of greenhouse gas emissions and urban air pollution, but also redefining how climate startups treat their employees. 

As the Hiring Manager at Jaro, you will build our team across specialties with a strong focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) as we grow to meet increasing market demands for a novel vehicle charging technology poised to transform the electric semi-trucking industry. These contributions are foundational for Jaro’s growth as we work to address a $20B emerging market and a huge, unresolved source of climate emissions and urban pollution.

This role requires at least 25% onsite presence at our Oakland, CA location.


What you'll do:

  • Lead, execute, and iterate on an overall recruitment & hiring strategy that prioritizes DEIB, fairness, and quality.
  • Evaluate and manage external recruitment partners as necessary to support top-of-funnel candidate flow.
  • Manage day-to-day hiring operations, including internal and external communications, interviews, scheduling, decision-making, and feedback.
  • Explore and act upon efficient and effective talent attraction strategies including advertising media, job fairs, job boards, college recruitment, networking opportunities, external agencies, and other resources to meet staffing needs.
  • Develop and improve processes to support team scaling and growth. 
  • Opportunity to grow and expand responsibilities into more People Operations, Onboarding & Retention, Human Resources (HR), DEIB, and/or Business Operations areas. 
  • Contribute to early team culture, strategy, and organization at Jaro.

Required Skills:

  • 3+ years of professional experience in People Operations, HR, Business Operations, Recruitment, or similar fields.
  • Strong work habits and organizational skills for balancing competing priorities, with a drive towards getting things done.
  • Clear, effective, and empathetic communication skills.
  • Ability to learn and communicate role needs across different engineering and other specialties.
  • Ability to externally represent Jaro professionally, attractively, and authentically.
  • Think creatively and opportunistically to solve problems and challenge convention.
  • Value diverse ideas, backgrounds, and problem-solving strategies.
  • Thrive in a nimble, small-team environment with significant individual autonomy.

Valued Skills:

  • Prior experience developing or managing recruitment and hiring programs, team growth, and/or DEIB programs.
  • Experience recruiting for or supporting technical teams.
  • Experience in clean technology, EV charging, or environmental fields.

It looks like we are looking for a lot, but what we really need are good passionate people. If you feel like you can contribute to Jaro, you're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. We welcome diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and your skills might be a great fit for this or other roles!
