We are looking for a transformational talent acquisition leader to lead our Global Talent Acquisition organization. Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you will own end‑to‑end recruiting strategy and execution globally—covering two fundamentally different but equally critical hiring motions: sourcing rare, highly specialized AI research and technical talent, and scaling high‑volume operational delivery hiring that powers our AI services business. This is not a role for someone who manages the status quo.

We need a bold architect who will reimagine the TA function from the ground up—building distinct recruiting models for each talent segment, scaling our technology to support both precision and volume, and establishing world‑class sourcing and interviewing practices that hold up consistently across cultures, time zones, and role types. As a leader you will set the vision, hold the accountability, and lead a globally distributed team.

• Strategic Leadership & Transformation

  Define and execute a multi‑year global talent acquisition strategy that supports our AI product and services roadmap, translating ambitious growth goals across eight countries into structured, executable recruiting programs.

• Sourcing Excellence & Dual‑Track Pipeline Development

  Build best‑in‑class sourcing capabilities across two distinct talent tracks: (1) highly specialized AI research, engineering, and technical roles requiring precision, patience, and deep passive‑candidate engagement; and (2) high‑volume operational AI delivery roles requiring scalable, efficient, and repeatable sourcing infrastructure.

  Establish market‑specific sourcing playbooks across all geographies that reflect the unique platforms, channels, and networks in each country.

  Drive university and early‑careers partnerships in key talent markets to build long‑term pipeline depth for both research/technical and operational AI delivery roles.

• Interviewing Standards & Competency‑Based Hiring
