Toptal
Overview
As VP, Talent Supply and Operations, you will be the architect and operator of the systems that drive the targeted growth and performance of our talent network. You will approach talent supply as an engineer who designs scalable, data-driven frameworks to solve complex supply challenges with speed, precision, and repeatability. You will anticipate and respond to imbalances in our talent network—addressing shortages and surpluses with real-time insights, automated solutions, and smart infrastructure. You will build and own the operational backbone that supports the end-to-end talent lifecycle: from recruiting and onboarding, to retention and deployment.

This role demands a builder’s mindset and a deep sense of ownership, creating foundational infrastructure that allows Toptal’s talent network to scale efficiently across all verticals and ensuring talent availability aligns with evolving client needs. You will drive operational clarity and execution excellence in every aspect of the talent supply chain—accelerating growth, improving margins, and delivering service quality.
