About The Position

Astrana Health is seeking a TA Lead who operates at the intersection of high-impact execution and emerging leadership. This role goes beyond carrying a strong requisition load. The TA Lead takes ownership of complex and mission-critical searches, serves as a trusted partner to hiring managers, and raises the bar for how recruiting is practiced across the team. This is a role for someone who runs a disciplined process and can tell the difference between a shortcut and a sound exception. You will be expected to know why a specific candidate says yes to Astrana, to defend the quality of your work when it is questioned, and to speak up when the team's output falls short of what the business needs. You will foster a culture of operational excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement within the Talent Acquisition team, ensuring that Astrana Health continues to hire high-performing professionals who align with our mission.
