As the leader in data and AI governance, we are building the team that will define our next chapter of growth. As AI fundamentally reshapes how talent is identified, engaged, assessed, and hired, we are looking for a leader with a clear point of view on how Talent Acquisition should operate in an AI-native environment and the ability to turn that vision into execution.
