Your Team ResponsibilitiesMSCI's Talent Acquisition team is a strategic partner to the business, hiring across every function that powers better decisions - Technology, Research, Product Management, Client Coverage, and Corporate Functions. As a Vice President on the team, you will own a portfolio of searches end to end and act as a trusted advisor to senior hiring managers, shaping how they define, assess, and select talent.
