Why this Job Matters - The orchestrator and trusted advisor - keeping the function's most complex work moving and its most critical hires exceptional. Bringing two critical capabilities together. Project Management – elevating the rigor and pace of building a scalable foundation for the future to include TA strategic initiatives, transformation workstreams, and cross-functional programs that require disciplined coordination, stakeholder communication, and delivery accountability. Executive Seach - senior and executive hiring that demands a different and elevated approach: one with discretion, market intelligence, sophisticated assessment capability, and the presence to partner with the most senior leaders in the business. This role carries both, balancing PM and Exec search with the ability to navigate how to establish and manage priorities. The person in this role is trusted with the function's most visible work and its most sensitive relationships. Executive Delivery will always carry the priority of the function.

What You’ll Do:

• PM for TA strategic projects - project management, workplan development, stakeholder coordination, milestone tracking, and delivery accountability across TA transformation initiatives

• Project governance - owns the TA project register; ensures initiatives are scoped, resourced, and reported consistently

• Executive search delivery - end-to-end ownership of senior and executive hiring when activated; Director level and above across all functions and geographies

• Executive candidate experience - white-glove management of senior candidate journeys from first conversation through offer and onboarding

• Senior stakeholder partnership - direct relationship management with the most senior hiring leaders; consultative, discreet, highly responsive

• Search firm and executive search vendor management - when third-party search is engaged; owns the brief, the relationship, and the quality of the shortlist

• Cross-functional TA initiative coordination - serves as the connective tissue between TA workstreams, COEs, HR partners, and business stakeholders on complex programs

• Exec search market intelligence - maintains awareness of executive talent market, competitor moves, and leadership bench in critical functions

What You Bring:

• Project management discipline - has managed complex, cross-functional programs with senior stakeholders and real accountability

• Executive search capability - has sourced, assessed, and placed senior leaders; understands the full executive search lifecycle

• Presence and discretion - operate at the most senior levels of the business; trusted with sensitive information and high-stakes relationships

• Consultative instinct - earns trust with executives by understanding their business, not just their job spec

• Organized under pressure - PM and exec search can both spike simultaneously; instinctively knows how to prioritize and deprioritize alongside leadership

• Stakeholder communication excellence - knows when to escalate, when to resolve, and when to simply keep people informed

• Market intelligence capability - stays current on executive talent landscape; uses data and network to find leaders others cannot

• Independent and self-directed - high-trust, low-supervision role; given clear objectives and space to deliver

• Operates across time zones - exec search is global; responsiveness cannot be geography-dependent

What’s In It for You

• Competitive compensation package, including base salary and incentive opportunities where applicable.
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits for employees and eligible dependents.
• Retirement savings programs, including company matching contributions where available.

The anticipated annual base salary range for this position is $100,000 - $180,000. Actual compensation within this range will be determined based on a variety of factors, including geographic location, relevant experience, skills, qualifications, and internal equity considerations.
