  • Build, mentor, and manage a team of TA Partners, Sourcers, and Coordinators with clear direction and performance accountability.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've built and run hiring for manufacturing, supply chain, or industrial operations orgs in a hyper-growth environment, ramping headcount without dropping the bar.
  • You lead a team and set strategy but stay in the work. You take the hard searches, model great execution, and don't delegate your way out of accountability.
  • You know the difference between competent and exceptional and won't compromise on it, for your team's hires or your own. Every hire raises the average.
  • You build for the year but can lead quick pivots. You anticipate hiring needs and map talent landscapes so your team never starts a critical role from zero.
  • You measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to manage performance and make decisions.
  • You give clear, honest feedback and build trust by being straight with your team, not easy on them.
  • Bonus: Recruiting in manufacturing, industrial operations, or supply chain markets. Scaling a TA function through rapid headcount growth. Immigration and global mobility coordination. Employer brand building.

  • Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
