IMPACT and OPPORTUNITY

The Talent Acquisition Program Manager will play a key role in shaping how we attract, engage, and hire the talent that drives our business forward. This position will lead the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of global talent acquisition programs that strengthen our employer brand, elevate the candidate experience, and enable our teams to attract high-performing talent across the organization.

You will build scalable, innovative talent programs with global impact—partnering cross-functionally with Talent Acquisition, HR, business leaders, and other key stakeholders to translate business priorities into meaningful talent strategies. The successful candidate will bring a strategic mindset, strong program management capabilities, and a passion for creating talent solutions that support both today’s needs and tomorrow’s growth.

• Design, document, and roll out standardized talent acquisition procedures, workflows, and programs across all sites.
• Drive harmonization of recruiting practices across sites and regions, identifying inconsistencies and building scalable, repeatable processes that can flex to local needs where required.
• Partner with HR leadership to translate strategic priorities (e.g., sourcing, diversity recruitment, assessment/selection methodology, employee referral programs, onboarding) into operational programs, toolkits, and playbooks that recruiters and hiring managers can execute consistently.
• Use data and recruiter/hiring manager feedback to identify gaps in existing programs or processes and recommend improvements. Use data from new hire feedback on how to improve the talent acquisition process.
• Examine and influence overall TA spend for efficiency.
• Use new technology to augment TA process improvement.
• Own the lifecycle of TA programs from design through implementation, adoption, and continuous improvement — gathering feedback from site-level recruiters and HRBPs to refine processes over time.
• Develop training materials, job aids, and onboarding resources to ensure new and existing TA team members can execute standardized processes effectively.
• Serve as the primary business owner and subject matter expert for TA systems, including the SuccessFactors Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
• Identify opportunities to improve, configure, and optimize TA systems and platforms to support process efficiency, data integrity, and user experience for candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers.
• Partner with IT and HRIS teams on system enhancements, upgrades, testing, and issue resolution; act as the liaison between the TA function and technical teams.
• Maintain system documentation, user guides, and governance standards to ensure consistent platform use across sites.
• Establish and track key TA process and program metrics to measure adoption, effectiveness, and consistency across sites.
• Provide direct recruiting support for select executive-level and other high-visibility searches as needed, partnering closely with TA and business leadership to ensure a white-glove candidate experience.

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a closely related field.
• 7+ years of experience in talent acquisition, HR programs, or TA operations, including direct experience building or rolling out standardized processes across multiple sites or regions.
• Hands-on experience administering and optimizing an ATS (SuccessFactors strongly preferred); comfort partnering with IT/HRIS on system configuration and troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated project/program management skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously and drive them to completion.
• Strong data analysis skills, with the ability to turn recruiting metrics into actionable insights and process improvements.
• Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills, including the ability to create clear process documentation and training materials.

• Experience supporting or directly recruiting for executive-level roles.
