• Provide strategic leadership and governance over the end‑to‑end recruitment lifecycle, ensuring robust, consistent processes for sourcing, selection, and onboarding of both back‑office employees and technicians.
• Streamline end‑to‑end recruitment to improve efficiency and candidate experience.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Partner with Business Units and stakeholders to meet staffing needs.
• Align recruitment priorities with business objectives and project demands.
• Strengthen communication, alignment, and process coordination across departments, ensuring smooth cross‑functional collaboration.

• Expertise in building scalable recruitment processes, policies, and frameworks across multiple regions.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with senior stakeholders and business leaders.
• In‑depth knowledge of talent markets and employer branding strategies.
• Data‑driven mindset with experience setting and monitoring recruitment KPIs and metrics.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and influencing skills.
• Strategic thinker with a proactive approach to workforce planning and talent acquisition.
