Role Overview
The Manager, Global Talent Acquisition is a people and strategy leader who orchestrates the day-to-day delivery of recruiting across regions and functions elevating standards, data discipline, and stakeholder confidence, while driving the long-term TA strategy and projects aligned with the business needs. This role sets clear operating rhythms (cadence, SLAs, dashboards), ensures high-quality intake and status communication with hiring managers and HRBPs, drives adoption of the Oracle Recruiting Cloud (ORC) module, and develops the TA team. The manager participates in senior interviews and critical searches where needed, but is primarily focused on strategy, governance, and outcomes.

Core Responsibilities

• Strategy & Operating Model

• Translate business needs into a prioritized recruiting roadmap with clear capacity planning, role prioritization (e.g. critical roles), and agency strategy.

• Set service standards and SLAs (intake to shortlist, feedback cycles, offer turnaround) and hold the team to consistent execution.

• Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, coach, and develop a global team; embed a feedback culture, shadowing, and skills uplift (e.g. intake mastery, behavioral interviewing, stakeholder management).

• Promote a collaborative, non-hierarchical style that surfaces ideas from the team and turns best practices into playbooks, resources and ways of working.

• Stakeholder & Communication Excellence

• Establish a predictable communication cadence for hiring managers and HRBPs (weekly updates, clear status notes, risk/mitigation).

• Escalate early with solutions; ensure "no-surprises" recruitment and a high-trust partnership with the business.

• Data, Reporting & Insights

• Own recruiting dashboards and weekly scorecards (aging, funnel health, critical roles, offer/accept ratios) using ORC reporting and BI tools.

• Use insights to rebalance workloads, remove bottlenecks, and recommend market or scope adjustments (e.g. location, leveling, comp).

• Process, Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Standardize intake, evaluation rubrics, feedback forms, and candidate write-ups; drive consistency across regions.

• Reduce variance in experience (candidate and manager) by simplifying steps and eliminating low-value activity.

• Strategic Projects & Long-Term Priorities

• Act as program lead or sponsor for global TA projects (elevating employer branding, strengthening evergreen talent pipelines, enhancing the candidate and hiring-manager experience, embedding data-driven decision-making, and enabling technology adoption).

• Partner cross-functionally with HRBPs, Internal Communications, Marketing, People Operations, and business leaders to ensure these projects deliver measurable impact and sustainable practices.

• Technology & Enablement (Oracle)

• Co-lead the constant improvement, and adoption of Oracle Recruiting Cloud (requisition design, approvals, interview flows, offers, integrations: LinkedIn, HireRight, DocuSign).

• Ensure data integrity, auditability, and self-service reporting; retire manual trackers as ORC goes live.

• Employer Brand & Market Reach

• Co-lead and partner on employer brand initiatives and campaigns; align messaging and assets across functions and regions.

• Balance direct sourcing with smart, ROI-based agency usage; negotiate terms in partnership with Procurement/Legal.

• Compliance & Governance

• Ensure global compliance and ethical standards in selection, offers, background checks, and data privacy.

How You Will Make an Impact:

• Reliability & Speed: Improve time-to-fill and time-to-offer with clear SLAs, better intake, and early risk flags.
• Quality & Consistency: Raise the bar on candidate quality and feedback depth; make the experience predictable and professional.
• Transparency & Trust: Deliver clean dashboards and weekly summaries that give leaders simple, credible line-of-sight.
• Team Effectiveness: Build a well-coached team with balanced workloads and clear accountability; reduce reliance on agencies.
• Systems Maturity: Land ORC successfully; migrate to system-of-record reporting and retire spreadsheets/OPR dependencies.
• Smart Trade-offs: Use data to recommend scope/level/location changes when markets and budgets misalign.
• Candidate & Hiring-Manager Experience: Champion a consistent, high-quality experience at every stage of the recruitment journey, clear communication, timely feedback, and a respectful, engaging process for all candidates. Translate feedback from both candidates and managers into continuous-improvement actions that strengthen IPC's reputation as an employer of choice.

Essential Skills and Experience to be Successful in this Role:

• 8+ years in Talent Acquisition, including 2–4 years leading recruiters across multiple regions/time zones.
• Demonstrated success building operating rhythms (SLAs, cadences), dashboards, and KPI governance for TA.
• Strong stakeholder management with senior leaders; confident, proactive communicator who escalates early with options.
• Experience implementing or optimizing Oracle Recruiting Cloud (ORC) or a large-scale ATS; strong process design mindset.
• Evidence of continuous improvement: standardizing intake, interview rubrics, and candidate summaries at scale.
• Data fluency: advanced Excel and strong working knowledge of reporting/BI (Power BI or similar); comfortable turning data into decisions.
• Excellent written and verbal English.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• Fintech/tech/SaaS or global transformation experience.
• Spanish language a strong plus.
• Experience migrating from a legacy ATS to ORC and integrating LinkedIn, HireRight, DocuSign.
• Vendor/agency management and negotiations in partnership with Legal/Procurement.
