As a Head of U.S. Private Bank Recruitment at JPMorgan, you lead end-to-end talent acquisition for the US Private Bank (USPB), owning strategy and execution across a growing high-touch, high-visibility recruiting agenda. This role manages a team of ~20 recruiters and recruiting professionals, partners directly with senior USPB leaders, CFOs, HR Business Advisors and other stakeholders, and personally delivers select senior/executive searches. Success requires a rare blend of operator rigor (process, controls, reporting, delivery) and strategist capability (workforce planning, market intelligence, org design advisory), with confident presence in highly vocal, demanding client environments.

Job Responsibilities:
  • Recruiting leadership (strategy + execution)
  • Set and deliver the recruiting strategy aligned to business priorities, growth plans, and evolving skill needs.
  • Build a scalable operating model: intake, prioritization, capacity planning, sourcing strategy, and service levels.
  • Ensure consistent, high-quality assessment and selection practices; raise the bar on candidate and hiring manager experience.
  • Personally lead selected senior-level searches from search strategy through offer close, partnering closely with business leadership.
  • Maintain strong judgment, confidentiality, and rigor throughout the process.
  • Senior stakeholder & "high-touch " client management
  • Serve as the primary recruiting partner to senior leaders; provide clear guidance on talent markets, trade-offs, and hiring approach.
  • Lead recurring executive readouts and presentations; proactively manage escalations and shifting priorities.
  • Establish strong relationships with demanding stakeholder groups through credibility, transparency, and follow-through.
  • People leadership
  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of ~20; set clear expectations, performance standards, and development plans.
  • Build a culture of accountability, responsiveness, and continuous improvement.
  • Strengthen recruiting capability across sourcing, stakeholder management, and search execution.
  • Analytics, reporting, and operational rigor
  • Own recruiting reporting and frequent ad hoc analyses; translate data into actionable insights for leaders (pipeline health, timing, sources, capacity).
  • Drive process discipline, risk awareness, and consistent execution across the recruiting lifecycle.
  • Clear prioritization and operating rhythm reduce firefighting and improve predictability.
  • Recruiting performance improves across speed, quality, stakeholder satisfaction, and team effectiveness. Senior searches are executed with strong calibration, high-quality slates, and effective closing.
