Who you’ll work with

As a Senior Manager within our Leadership Recruiting (LR) team, you will partner with senior stakeholders, including Regional Practice Leads, Global Practice Leads and Office Heads, and other talent teams. You will work with your regional LR lead to develop search strategies and leverage the LR best practice playbook for LR hiring within your remit.

You will support your target region but may occasionally support other regions based on demand and team capacity.

- Coach and brief interviewers on senior-level candidate evaluations
- Act as a trusted advisor to regional MDs, Regional Practice Leads, Global Practice Leads and Office Heads on talent strategy, not just search execution, and be comfortable delivering tough messages and advising on challenging situations
- Explore ways to innovate and improve our recruitment process, taking into consideration business needs and priorities, talent market trends, and candidate experience
