Position Overview
Talent has been one of four core priorities in Repair the World's FY25–27 strategic plan and will remain an ongoing priority in the years ahead. We've invested in manager development and built a competency framework that defines what we're looking for at every level. This new role is focused on the next piece: who comes through the door and how.

The Director of Talent Acquisition sits within our People and Culture team and reports to the Chief Operating Officer. This role owns recruiting at Repair.

This person will also serve as a true partner to hiring managers, helping them run strong, equitable searches at every stage.

Beyond running searches, this role is responsible for building the infrastructure that keeps Repair competitive in the talent market - creating an active candidate database, proactive pipeline development, and outreach strategies that strengthen our employer profile before a role ever opens. The Director will also connect recruitment to Repair’s longer-term goals and priorities around culture and workforce planning.
