What the job involves

  • We are hiring a Sr. Director of Talent Acquisition to lead a small, high-performing global team that hires at high volume and high speed
  • You will set the strategy, own the metrics, and still roll up your sleeves when a critical search needs it
  • You will partner with business leaders across the US, Canada, Mexico, and India, and use AI to make recruiting faster, fairer, and measurably better
  • Own the global TA strategy and operating plan, balancing speed, quality, and cost across a large volume of open requisitions
  • Lead and develop a lean team of recruiters and sourcers across North America and India; set clear expectations, coach to performance, and make hard calls on capacity and prioritization
  • Define and run a KPI framework (for example time to fill, pipeline health, offer acceptance, quality of hire, hiring manager satisfaction, recruiter productivity). Review it on a regular cadence and act on what it shows
  • Build and apply AI across the recruiting lifecycle, including sourcing, screening, scheduling, outreach, reporting, and recruiter performance insights. Measure the efficiency and quality gains, and retire what does not work
  • Run recruiting in the US, Canada, Mexico, and India, adapting to local market practices, compensation norms, employment regulations, and talent availability. Partner with Legal and People on compliance
  • Manage and optimize agency and vendor relationships: when to use them, how to hold them accountable, and how to reduce reliance over time
  • Act as a trusted advisor to executives, hiring managers, and People leadership. Run intake and workforce planning conversations, push back with data, and keep stakeholders aligned
  • Move between strategy and execution: build the plan in the morning, close the candidate in the afternoon
  • Partner with Finance, People Ops, and Talent Brand on headcount planning, forecasting, employer brand, DEI goals, and candidate experience
  • Build the TA leadership bench: hire, develop, and promote recruiting managers, senior recruiters, and sourcers; define career paths and succession plans
  • Run the team's operating rhythm, including weekly pipeline reviews, monthly business reviews, quarterly planning, and regular reporting to the executive team
  • Own the TA budget, including headcount, agency and vendor spend, tools, and job board and event costs. Forecast capacity against the hiring plan and make the case for investment
  • Lead TA technology strategy: ATS configuration, sourcing and scheduling tools, analytics, and vendor selection and renewals
  • Build scalable, consistent hiring practices, including structured interviewing, intake standards, interviewer training, offer approval, and candidate experience
  • Lead through change: reorganizations, hiring surges and freezes, reprioritization, and integration of acquired teams
