About The Position

Dexterity is seeking an experienced Senior Talent & People Operations Partner to join our People team during an important stage of growth. The primary focus of this role is Talent Acquisition.

This is a hands-on role for someone who takes ownership, works independently, and is comfortable moving between recruiting priorities and broader People needs.
