About The Position

ISMG is seeking a Senior Talent Acquisition Manager to serve as a strategic partner and operational leader within our global Talent Acquisition function. This role is ideal for an experienced recruiter who is ready to operate at a leadership level immediately, with scope spanning execution, coaching, strategy, and cross-functional partnership. Reporting directly to the Global Director of Talent Acquisition, you will act as a deputy leader for the function—owning critical hiring initiatives, supporting and mentoring recruiters, and contributing to broader people strategies including learning & development, hiring manager enablement, and foundational HR support. This is a highly visible, high-impact role with a clear path to regional or global TA leadership. You’ll help shape how ISMG attracts, develops, and retains talent while operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where initiative, judgment, and influence matter as much as execution. This is more than a senior recruiting role—it’s an opportunity to help lead and scale a global TA function.
