Flying Bark LA is looking for a Recruitment Coordinator who will support the LA studio's hiring and people operations, with the role split primarily toward Recruitment and People & Culture (P&C) administration. Reporting to the Global Recruitment Manager, the Coordinator is the primary point of contact for day-to-day recruitment coordination across the LA studio, sourcing candidates, managing requisitions, and keeping the hiring pipeline moving efficiently as project and headcount needs evolve.
