About the Team
Paradox is transforming how the world hires. As the creator of the first-of-its-kind conversational recruiting platform, we empower organizations to fundamentally reimagine their talent acquisition process. Our AI assistant frees up recruiting teams to focus on human connection by automating high-volume, repetitive tasks. This includes instantly scheduling interviews, screening for qualifications, and answering common candidate questions through simple, frictionless experiences across mobile, chat, and SMS. We help our clients spend more time with people and less time with software.
About the Role
As an Engagement Manager you are responsible for leading the delivery of customer projects, from post-sale through to a successful implementation. In this role, you will serve as the critical bridge between our technology and our customers' success. This is a high-velocity role where you will manage a portfolio of complex, simultaneous projects. You won't just follow a manual; you will own the delivery strategy, adapt methodologies to meet unique client needs, and facilitate complex, global deployments. We are looking for a seasoned professional who can handle the pressure of high-stakes, strategic transformations and has the maturity to lead by influence across diverse stakeholder groups. If you are a builder who thrives in ambiguity and wants to deliver impactful, large-scale solutions for our most strategic clients, this is your opportunity to drive real change.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
