We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world. Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands. About the Role: Planet is in the middle of its most ambitious hiring year — onboarding hundreds of new team members across San Francisco, Washington DC, Berlin, and remote locations worldwide. Behind every hire is a set of operational workflows that need to run flawlessly: requisition approvals, interview coordination, offer processing, compliance checks, onboarding handoffs, and program management for specialized hiring tracks like our global intern program. The Talent Operations team is responsible for all of it — and we are looking for a Talent Operations Partner to step in and own critical pieces of that work. As Talent Operations Partner, you will serve two primary functions. First, you will own and manage Planet’s intern and early talent program end-to-end — from requisition management and candidate coordination through onboarding, program programming, and offboarding. This is a visible, cross-functional program that touches hiring managers across every department and gives early-career candidates their first experience of Planet. Second, you will contribute directly to the Talent Operations roadmap, a portfolio of process improvement and systems projects that are actively reshaping how Planet manages the hiring lifecycle. This role sits at the intersection of program management, process design, and recruiting operations. You will need to be equally comfortable running the logistics of an intern cohort and digging into ATS workflow configuration. The common thread is operational excellence — you care about whether things run smoothly, you notice when they don’t, and you fix them before someone has to ask. You will report to the Senior Manager, Talent Operations and work as part of a team that includes Talent Operations, Recruiting Coordinators, and a Working Student. Together, this team ensures that Planet’s recruiting infrastructure scales in step with the company’s growth. This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our San Francisco office 3 days per week. Impact You’ll Own: Own and manage Planet’s intern and early talent program end-to-end — including requisition intake, candidate coordination, offer processing, onboarding logistics, program events and content, manager enablement, and offboarding workflows. Serve as the primary point of contact for hiring managers and interns throughout the program lifecycle — ensuring hiring managers know what to expect and interns have a structured, high-quality experience from day one through final presentations. Partner with Talent Acquisition Partners to coordinate intern recruiting timelines, track pipeline progress across departments, and ensure all intern offers are processed accurately and on time.
