Talent Operations
Monumental is automating on-site construction with cutting-edge robotics and software. Our mission is to redefine construction through software and robots. We aim for a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings are built within a single day with minimal labor.
Our company is on a real rocket ship trajectory, with extremely strong customer demand forcing us to scale the team as fast as we can today. We’ve proven that our technology and operational model works in the Netherlands, and are ready to scale as fast as we can in the UK.
We’re a growing team (about 100 team members) of mostly engineers and technicians, coming from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and 1X. It’s still the early days of building the company, and this is a unique opportunity to be an early employee in a high-growth, high-ambition startup environment. From Day 1, you’ll be able to work with an experienced founding team backed by top-tier investors.

About you and this role
We’re looking for a highly organised Talent Operator - someone detail-oriented, structured, and systems-minded - who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You’ll play a key role in scaling our team and building our recruitment and operations function. You’ll be the go-to person for talent systems, coordinating interviews, improving candidate experience, onboarding new hires, and sourcing and interviewing talent.
You’ll manage our applicant pipeline and align our hiring team. Above all, you’ll dive headfirst into the messy, ambitious process of scaling up. You’ll be responsible for everything from optimising our interview schedule to coordinating special projects to improve candidate experience. Like other startups, you’ll schedule interviews. Unlike other startups, you’ll also be asking candidates’ shoe sizes to ensure they have the right footwear to safely visit construction sites.
You’ll be at the heart of our talent engine, ensuring Monumental operates smoothly. This role is perfect for someone who’s a natural organiser and systems thinker, spots inefficiencies others miss, and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves when things get messy.
What you'll be responsible for
Supporting recruitment planning, interview scheduling, and onboarding new hires
Owning inbound applications and end-to-end hiring for a range of novel roles
Organising special projects like recruitment events and running social media ad campaigns
Preparing agendas, notes, and follow-ups for hiring syncs and internal updates
Enhancing our candidate experience from first contact through to signed offer
Managing site visits—including logistics like safety gear and access
Finding and testing new sourcing channels and creative ways to attract top talent
What we’re looking for
Experience in a coordination, recruiting, people ops, or operations role—ideally in a startup, scale-up, agency, or VC-backed company
Fluent in English, and fluent in spoken and written Dutch in a nice to have
Proactive and energetic: you take initiative and solve problems quickly
Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail; you keep things and people on track
Resourceful and persistent—you know how to unblock yourself and others
Tech-savvy and fast to adopt new systems (experience with Ashby ATS or Metaview is a bonus)
High empathy and action bias—you spot what needs doing and make it happen
Comfortable context-switching and juggling multiple priorities throughout the day
Strong communicator—you close loops, follow up, and over-communicate when needed
