Full Job Description
Manager, Talent Acquisition

We're looking for a Manager, Talent Acquisition, to own the full recruiting lifecycle across multiple concurrent searches. You'll work across every corner of business development, construction, finance, operations, legal, and beyond, serving as a trusted advisor to your hiring partners and a true ambassador for the WS brand and for this team's reputation inside the company.

This is not a coordination role. This is a recruiting role for someone who loves the craft, operates with urgency and intentionality, and takes real ownership over the outcome of every search they run.

What You'll Do
  • Own searches end-to-end: intake and launch, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, candidate management, offer, and close
  • Build strong, consultative relationships with department heads and hiring managers - becoming their go-to recruiting partner
  • Source proactively and creatively - not waiting for applications to come in
  • Manage a pipeline of active requisitions simultaneously without letting anything slip
  • Represent WS Development and the Talent Acquisition team with professionalism and intentionality at every touchpoint in the process
  • Collaborate closely with our TA Coordinator, HR Business Partners, and SVP, People
  • Navigate ambiguity, competing priorities, and fast-moving timelines without losing composure or quality
  • Contribute to the continued evolution of how this team operates - process, tooling, candidate experience, and beyond

Requirements
  • 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally with exposure to a mix of technical, professional, and operational roles
  • A track record of running multiple searches simultaneously and closing them efficiently - without sacrificing quality
  • The presence, communication skills, and business acumen to hold your own with senior leadership
  • A proactive, creative sourcing mindset - you build pipelines before you need them
  • Strong organizational instincts and the ability to manage up, down, and across in a fast-moving environment
  • Genuine curiosity about the business you're hiring for you. You want to understand what great looks like before you go find it
  • High standards for how candidates and hiring managers experience the recruiting process
  • Comfort with - and ideally enthusiasm for - AI-forward tools and modern recruiting practices

Logistics
  • Based in Chestnut Hill, MA with an in-office expectation of 4 days per week
  • Reports to the Director, Talent Acquisition
