As we continue to scale, we’re ready to move from a reactive, just-in-time hiring model to a predictable, strategic, and business-aligned resourcing function — and this role will lead that transformation.

Position Overview

This is a build-and-lead role.

We’re looking for a senior leader who can design and implement a best-in-class resourcing and recruiting function — one that brings clarity, discipline, and foresight while still supporting a fast-moving consulting business.

Reporting to the VP of People & Talent, and leading a team of 5+ professionals at various levels, you’ll establish the strategy, operating model, and standards for how we plan, hire, and deploy talent — while also rolling up your sleeves to stabilize execution in the near term.

• Ensure recruiting practices scale effectively across technical, consulting, and professional roles.

Leadership & Team Development

• Lead, coach, and develop the recruiting and resourcing team through change and a rapidly change environment.
• Set clear priorities and expectations in an environment that has historically been urgent and fragmented.
• Build confidence and capability within the team to act as strategic partners, not order-takers.
• Define standardized operating practice that ensure consistent and effective delivery regardless of the area of the business being served.

Hiring Manager Partnership

• Reset expectations with hiring leaders around what great recruiting looks like — and what it requires.
• Provide clarity on timelines, tradeoffs, and market realities.
• Act as a trusted advisor who brings calm, data, and judgment into high-pressure hiring decisions.

Data, Metrics & Visibility

• Define and track meaningful recruiting and resourcing metrics (capacity, demand, time to fill, pipeline health, quality of hire).
• Improve visibility so leaders can make informed decisions rather than reacting to surprises.
• Translate data into insight-driven narratives that drive continuous improvement — not just report on it.

Change Leadership

• Lead the organization through a mindset shift from urgency-driven hiring to thoughtful planning.
• Bring credibility, clarity, and empathy to change — acknowledging what’s worked while building what’s needed next.

Candidate Qualifications:

Experience & Background:

• Can balance strategy with hands-on execution, especially in the early phases.
• Knows how to influence senior leaders, reset expectations, and say “not yet” or “not like this” when needed.
• Uses data to inform decisions but understands the human dynamics of hiring and delivery.
• Leads with calm, credibility, and pragmatism — especially when things are messy.
• Proactively anticipate business needs by deeply understanding company strategy and translating it into forward-looking talent and resourcing plans.
