Why Join Us

• Opportunity to shape the future of talent acquisition.
• Work closely with executive leadership in a highly visible role.
• Lead a diverse recruiting portfolio that touches nearly every aspect of the organization.
• Influence real change in systems, processes, and culture.

I am looking for a strategic, people-focused Talent Acquisition Manager to lead and elevate our recruiting function. This role is not a recruiter position, and need someone that has the current title of Talent Acquisition Manager. This is a leadership opportunity to shape talent acquisition strategy, optimize systems, and drive organizational alignment. You will manage a TA team responsible for filling a diverse portfolio of roles—from scientists to infrastructure professionals—and serve as a trusted partner to executive leadership.

The ideal candidate is a change agent with strong executive presence, able to read the room, influence stakeholders, and gain buy-in on new approaches. You will bring expertise in Workday optimization, sourcing strategies, and talent branding while fostering a culture of collaboration and accountability across HR, hiring managers, and leadership.
