Senior Manager, Global Talent Acquisition

About Team Liquid

Team Liquid began as a Star Craft clan in 2000 and grew into a global esports and gaming organization. At our heart, we're still a community of people who love competitive gaming.

Our main quest is to forge a global fandom that celebrates creativity, mastery and kindness.

Across our teams, creators, content and Liquipedia, we bring people closer to the games they love. That takes colleagues with different skills, perspectives and backgrounds, working together across countries and disciplines.

Joining Team Liquid means helping shape what comes next. We value people who take ownership, stay curious and support those around them—and who care about how we succeed together.

People & Culture helps Team Liquid attract, develop, support, and retain the people who make our business and competitive ambitions possible.

We are a lean, global team that works closely with leaders and local stakeholders across countries, functions, and time zones.

Over the next year, we are building a more consistent recruiting function, improving the candidate experience, and supporting the rollout of Smart Recruiters as part of SAP Success Factors.

As Senior Manager, Global Talent Acquisition, you will own recruiting across Team Liquid’s global operations. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can set the strategy and personally deliver the work. You will advise leaders, source and interview candidates, manage offers, and build the processes and tools needed to improve how we hire.

In your first 90 days, you will learn our business and hiring priorities, build relationships with key stakeholders, assess our recruiting practices, and establish a clear plan for priority searches and the Smart Recruiters rollout.

• Own priority searches from intake through offer, with clear hiring plans, timelines, and candidate pipelines.

• Build practical sourcing strategies for different roles and markets, including proactive outreach to passive candidates.

• Help hiring managers define realistic requirements, run effective interviews, and make consistent hiring decisions.

• Improve recruiting processes, including intake, interview planning, evaluation, reference checks, candidate communication, and reporting.

• Partner with the P&C team on the Smart Recruiters implementation within SAP Success Factors, including requirements, workflows, testing, and adoption.

• Maintain reliable recruiting data and report on pipeline health, bottlenecks, hiring progress, and priorities.

• Deliver a professional and respectful candidate experience across every search.

Using AI thoughtfully is an expectation across Team Liquid, including in non-technical roles. We’re looking for people who explore how these tools can improve their work, test ideas and share what they learn with their teams.

In this role, that could include:

• Using approved AI tools to improve sourcing research, job descriptions, candidate communications, and interview preparation.

• Using AI to identify recruiting trends, analyze pipeline information, surface potential bottlenecks, and support hiring analysis.

• Exploring ways to improve recruiting workflows while protecting confidential candidate and company information.

You don’t need to be an AI expert on day one. We do expect a willingness to learn, experiment and build confidence. Just as important is knowing how to check outputs, protect confidential information and recognize when human judgment is essential.

Whether you’ve used AI at work or explored it independently, we’re interested in what you’ve tried, what you’ve learned and how you would apply that learning here.

• 5–8 years of progressive talent acquisition experience.

• Experience independently managing…
