You'll own the full TA program (recruitment process, assessment criteria, hiring team training, AI tool selection, and employer branding) as well as recruitment execution across the organization, balancing urgency with quality along the way. Your work will connect directly into broader HR and Talent initiatives with supportive programs that scale together. This role reports to the VP of Human Resources and partners closely with the People Team and Sr. Leaders to shape talent strategy company wide.
