Job Description

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

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

This is not a peripheral or coordination-only role. The incumbent is expected to be personally accountable for outcomes and deeply involved in delivery.

• Work closely with Practice Heads, Project Directors, and Program 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.

• Lead TA systems and process initiatives, including ATS optimization, hiring SOPs, and governance frameworks.
• Drive consistency, documentation, and process rigour across hiring.

Workforce Planning & Market Insight

• Support leadership with workforce planning informed by project 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 market through referrals, campuses, and targeted outreach.
• Build pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill roles.

Education Qualification/Required Skills & Experience

• Postgraduate qualification in Human Resources, Management, Social Sciences, or a related discipline.
• 10–12+ years of progressive experience in Talent Acquisition and workforce planning roles.
• Demonstrated experience hiring across multiple role types — core, program, project, and leadership positions.
• Prior exposure to consulting, development sector, or project-driven organisations is strongly preferred.
• Experience working with senior leadership and complex stakeholder groups, including cross-functional and multi-geography teams.
• Hands-on experience with ATS platforms, hiring workflows, and recruitment governance frameworks.
• Experience supporting international or cross-border hiring will be an advantage.

What We Are Looking For

• 10 –12+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition / Workforce Planning.
• Experience in consulting, development sector, or project-driven organisations.
• Strong execution discipline and comfort working hands-on.
• Proven ability to work closely with senior leaders and complex stakeholders.
