  • Develop and maintain strong working relationships with hiring managers, ensuring a collaborative and consultative approach to recruitment.
  • Establish and manage relationships with external recruitment agencies and partners, ensuring that service delivery meets business expectations.
  • Lead and mentor a high-performing talent acquisition team, fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
  • Ensure all recruitment operations are compliant with legal and ethical standards and diversity & inclusion practices.
  • Partner with key stakeholders and hiring managers to understand business needs and define talent requirements.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to leadership, providing insight on talent acquisition trends, best practices, and market challenges.
  • Serve as the face of the talent function in cross-functional meetings, presentations, and discussions.
  • Lead initiatives that strengthen the company’s EVP and support recruitment marketing efforts.
  • Collaborate with marketing and communications teams to build and promote employer branding campaigns across digital and offline channels.
  • Drive DE+I initiatives within recruitment strategies to ensure the business attracts diverse talent.
  • Use data and analytics to measure and optimize talent acquisition efforts, reporting on key metrics such as time-to-fill, quality of hire, and cost-per-hire.
  • Provide regular updates and insights to senior leadership on recruitment performance, market trends, and challenges.


What are we looking for?


  • 10+ years of experience in talent acquisition, with 5+ years in a leadership role, ideally within a global, fast-paced, and complex environment.
  • Strong understanding of operational and corporate recruitment, with the ability to recruit for a diverse range of functions and roles.
  • Proven experience in developing and executing talent strategies that align with broader business goals.
  • Strong track record in employer branding and recruitment marketing, with a creative and innovative approach to attracting talent.
  • Demonstrated ability to foster strong relationships with hiring managers and other key internal stakeholders.
  • Ability to work with and manage external recruitment agencies and other third-party vendors.
  • Experience in developing diversity and inclusion recruitment strategies.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to leverage data to make informed decisions.
  • Experience working in manufacturing, operational or other complex industries is a plus, though not essential.
