About the Role:

IPE Global is seeking a senior Talent Acquisition leader to own and drive hiring as a core organisational capability, deeply embedded across programs, thematic areas, and leadership teams.

This is a hands-on, immersive role for someone who thrives at the intersection of execution and strategy — translating complex, program-driven talent needs into timely and high-quality hiring outcomes. The role requires strong discipline, attention to detail, and the ability to partner closely with senior stakeholders across geographies.

This is not a coordination-only role. The incumbent will be personally accountable for hiring outcomes and actively involved in delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

End-to-End Talent Acquisition-

- Lead and deliver end-to-end hiring across core, program, and project roles (India and international).
- Own role scoping, screening, assessments, interview coordination, offer management, and closure.

Deep Program & Thematic Engagement-

- Work closely with Program Leads, Thematic Heads, and Project Leads to understand evolving workforce needs.
- Participate in regular reviews to anticipate hiring demand and plan proactively.
- Act as a trusted advisor on workforce structuring and sequencing of hires.

Stakeholder Management & Cadence-

- Establish and run regular Talent Acquisition check-ins with HR representatives and program teams.
- Serve as the central integrator across HR, Finance, Compliance, and program teams on hiring matters.
- Maintain clear communication, tracking, escalation, and closure discipline.

Systems & Process Strengthening-

- Lead TA systems and process initiatives, including ATS optimisation, hiring SOPs, and governance frameworks.




- Drive consistency, documentation, and process rigour across hiring.

Workforce Planning & Market Insight-

- Support leadership with workforce planning informed by program pipelines, budgets, and talent availability.
- Share insights on market trends, talent risks, and hiring bottlenecks.

Employer Branding & Talent Pipelines-

- Strengthen IPE's presence in the talent ecosystem through referrals, academic institutions, and targeted outreach.
- Build pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill roles.
