Salary: $65,000 - $89,000 Level: Mid-Level Posted: 2026-10-13 Closes: 2026-12-12

The role

Valero Energy is scaling fast in AZ, and growth that fast either gets steered carefully or gets very expensive. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $65,000 - $89,000 and freelance hours come standard, but the business reins are the real prize.

Key Responsibilities

  • Keep Valero Energy from optimizing a number that doesn't pay rent
  • Decide which business experiments graduate and which quietly die
  • Surface the two or three metrics that decide whether a Recruiter bet paid off
  • Pull apart a stalled deal and rebuild the path to yes
  • Keep Valero Energy strategy legible to the people who have to execute it
  • Build consensus across Facilitation and Workforce Analytics owners who rarely agree

What You'll Bring

  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
  • 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • A Valero Energy mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
  • 5+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
  • Track record that proves you can autonomy-driven ship under deadline pressure
  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable

We're Valero Energy — a data-honest Surprise, AZ outfit that treats Total Rewards less like a feature and more like a craft. Around Valero Energy, the loudest voice never automatically wins the business argument.

You get $65,000 - $89,000, a robust benefits suite, and hands-on mentorship aimed at making you a stronger business professional.

Right now Valero Energy is mid-search, and the Recruiter chair is yours to claim.

We believe great hires begin with a hello, so introduce yourself and apply today.
