What We're Looking For

The Builder Mindset

Demonstrable experience building or significantly rebuilding a TA function, not just running one
Comfortable creating process where little exists and sequencing work across multiple priorities simultaneously

A genuine point of view on what great talent acquisition looks like and the ability to teach it

Data and Metrics Fluency

ATS Experience

Experience implementing or significantly configuring a mature ATS is strongly preferred
Demonstrated ability to drive adoption and data integrity across a recruiting team

A Note on Scope

This is a role with a focused team covering US and UK corporate functions, approximately 200 roles annually. It is not a sprawling global enterprise TA leadership role and we want to be transparent about that.

The right person is ownership-driven and genuinely excited about building something meaningful rather than managing something large. If you want to see your fingerprints on a function and watch a team grow because of your leadership, this is exactly that opportunity.

Location

This role is based in Knoxville, Tennessee with regular in-office presence required. Knoxville offers a strong quality of life, reasonable cost of living, and easy access to the Smoky Mountains and the broader Southeast.

Being present in the office is important for this role, for your team, your stakeholders, and your ability to make an impact. The People and Culture team is based here and this role is expected to be a visible and consistent presence.

Annual team gatherings may require occasional travel.
