The role involves close collaboration with business leaders and HR Business Partners in a matrixed environment, providing consultative talent solutions that support the execution of these priorities. Reporting directly to the Global Talent Acquisition Director, the Sr. Talent Acquisition Manager will oversee a team of recruiters and sourcers located in the US and Mexico City, ensuring that the recruitment process is efficient and effective.
