Own recruiting strategy, ATS workflows, analytics, sourcing, employer branding, pipeline development, and full-cycle recruiting for key/hard-to-fill roles.

Summary Generated by Built In
Butcher Power Products (BPP) designs and manufactures mission‑critical and industrial power solutions for essential infrastructure nationwide. Headquartered in Sacramento, CA, our teams collaborate closely across engineering, manufacturing, and operations to build reliable, high‑quality systems and take pride in delivering work that truly matters.
Position Summary We are hiring a Recruiting Manager to lead Talent Acquisition and build a recruiting team that can support significant workforce growth across manufacturing, engineering, operations, technical, and leadership roles.
Recruiting at BPP is a direct driver of business growth, not a support function. You will own recruiting strategy, recruiting operations, ATS workflows and analytics, employer branding, and pipeline development, and you will lead a team of three recruiters. You will also help build the repeatable systems that let us scale from roughly 150 employees today toward 600 plus over the next two years.
This is a player-coach role. Depending on team capacity and requisition load, you will carry full-cycle recruiting on select key and hard-to-fill roles yourself, particularly leadership, engineering, and specialized technical searches. We want a leader who is still willing to run a search end to end when the business needs it.
You will report to the Director of HR & Talent and work daily with hiring managers across every function.

This is a build-and-scale role. Some processes are still being developed and priorities shift as we grow. Success here takes strong judgment, collaboration, ownership, and a bias toward improving things.
Every role on this team is expected to scale as the company does. As headcount grows, so do the teams, the scope, and the leadership opportunities. If you want to look back in a few years at an HR organization you helped build rather than one you inherited, this is that opportunity.
Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $140,000 – $155,000 per year.
Equal Opportunity Employer
Butcher Power Products is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
If you require a reasonable accommodation during the application or interview process, please let us know.
