## Why This Role Exists

The Talent Acquisition Manager owns how we attract, assess, and hire talent across Profound. As Profound Research grows, our ability to consistently attract and hire exceptional people will be critical to building strong teams and delivering on our mission. This is a hands-on builder role for someone who is as comfortable recruiting great people as they are improving the systems and practices behind the work.

You will partner closely with leaders by understanding what their teams need, bringing perspective on the talent market, and helping them make thoughtful hiring decisions. At the same time, you will continue building a talent acquisition function that can grow with the organization, creating the right amount of structure, developing stronger talent pipelines, and finding better ways to work as our needs evolve.

This role is a strong fit for someone who sees talent acquisition as more than filling open positions. You are curious about what makes an organization successful, willing to challenge an approach that is not working, and energized by the opportunity to build while you execute.

- Comfort operating in a fast-changing environment, shifting priorities when needed while maintaining ownership, follow through, and a high standard for the work

- Strong communication and relationship building skills, with the ability to earn trust with candidates and leaders while being clear, candid, and solutions oriented

- Experience recruiting in a multi-site, geographically distributed, or operationally complex organization

- Experience supporting an organization through meaningful growth or another significant scaling period

- Experience using recruiting data, technology, talent pipelines, and flexible recruiting resources to improve how a talent acquisition function operates
