Talent Acquisition Manager

Chief of Staff to the CHRO | Global Enterprise Software Company | Bengaluru
About the role
Our client is a wellestablished- year old global enterprise software company, which is looking to transform its organisation with a large AI-led product and services focus. And for this, the CHRO needs a sharp, trusted partner to run the engine room of the People function.
This is a seat at the table: you will work directly with the CHRO, see how a global HR agenda gets shaped and executed, and own outcomes from day one. The CHRO already has a dedicated Executive Assistant for calendars, travel and non-HR administration, so this role is about substance, not logistics.
It suits someone early in their career who wants a steep learning curve and room to stretch well beyond a defined brief.
Key responsibilities
Own the rhythm of Talent Acquisition operations for the CHRO: hiring pipeline reviews, TA dashboards, recruiter and agency performance, and hiring-manager governance, so that leadership hiring and critical roles move faster with fewer surprises.
Drive TA process and tooling improvements across MIS hygiene, interview workflows, offer-to-join tracking and candidate experience, and bring structure where there is none.
Lead and coordinate cross-functional HR programs such as engagement, performance and talent reviews, L&D and employer branding, taking them from idea to rollout and closure.
Prepare the CHRO for the room: business reviews, leadership presentations, MIS, and a crisp view of what needs attention and what is on track.
Act as the CHRO’s extended arm on special projects and stakeholder follow-ups, picking up anything that needs a calm, resourceful person to finish it.
Who you are
2 to 5 years of experience in HR, TA, consulting, strategy or business operations, with a strong MBA (Tier 1 preferred)
Comfortable with ambiguity, and able to turn a loosely framed problem into a plan without waiting for instructions
A go-getter who takes ownership, stretches beyond the brief and follows through
A strong communicator with good judgement, discretion and the presence to work with senior leaders
Analytical enough to build a clean dashboard, and practical enough to get a hiring manager to act on it
