The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Big Lots is hiring a Senior Recruiter in Portland, ME.

• Role description

  If you've ever wanted your Job Evaluation work to land in a boardroom instead of a forgotten spreadsheet, read on. What Big Lots is really offering: $82,000 - $123,000 for 6 years of Total Rewards, plus growth that does not stall at the door.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Keep Portland expansion on schedule when half the plan changes weekly
  • Build financial models that forecast revenue, margin, and cash flow
  • Develop and track KPIs that measure progress against Big Lots objectives
  • Find the customer segment Big Lots keeps overlooking and size the prize
  • Build consensus across Payroll Administration and Exit Interviews owners who rarely agree
  • Translate company strategy into actionable roadmaps for cross-functional teams
  • Run discovery with ME operators to find what the data won't show
  • Knit together the Portland, ME P&L from pieces three teams own separately

  What You'll Bring

  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • Cross-functional ease, from People Analytics engineers to Total Rewards marketers
  • A collaborator who makes the senior review feel less like an exam
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a hybrid project
  • Calm under the client-focused chaos a senior role tends to generate

  We started Big Lots in a Portland garage because the business status quo deserved a thoughtfully-bold reckoning. We keep the Portland, ME office quiet on Wednesdays so deep Total Rewards work actually gets a fighting chance.

  You will grow fastest here, with $82,000 - $123,000, a mentor, benefits, and flexible Portland, ME hours clearing the runway in front of you.

  Last touched this morning, the Senior Recruiter listing remains active and unfilled.
