Talent Strategy Lead (Remote)

About the Role

Stanford Health Care is looking for a Talent Strategy Lead to help shape the future workforce of one of the nation's leading academic health systems. This is not a traditional recruiting role. It is a unique opportunity to influence how Stanford Health Care attracts, develops, and engages talent across the organization through executive recruitment partnerships, workforce development programs, community engagement, academic partnerships, and strategic talent initiatives.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Influence strategic workforce initiatives with organization-wide impact
• Build relationships with executive leaders, educational institutions, and community partners

• Work for a mission-driven organization dedicated to improving lives through world-class patient care, research, and education

What You Will Do

• Partner with executive leaders and search firms on leadership recruitment initiatives
• Lead and strengthen key partnerships with academic institutions to build future healthcare talent pipelines

• Help drive talent attraction and relocation strategies to support critical workforce needs
• Represent Stanford Health Care at career fairs, industry events, professional associations, and community organizations
• Design, develop, and deploy new recruitment programs; own the strategic direction for programs within your area of expertise
• Apply deep HR knowledge to program development, ensuring initiatives are effective, scalable, and sustainable
• Identify opportunities for process improvement in recruitment strategies, attraction; lead efforts to implement changes
• Establish and maintain relationships with local community programs, high schools and colleges
• Create leading, best-in-class social media programs and branding for Stanford Health Care (SHC)
• Partner with Talent Acquisition, HR Business Partners, Hiring Managers, and candidates to deliver a high-quality people-focused recruitment experience
• Support special HR projects and initiatives within the SHC enterprise
• Use data-driven analytics in recruitment using quantitative and qualitative data to optimize the hiring lifecycle
• Establish and monitor program metrics and dashboards; provide monthly reporting and insights to leadership
• Track and report on core KPIs including Time-to-Fill, Cost-per-Hire, Quality of Hire, and Offer Acceptance Rates
• Audit the recruitment funnel to identify drop-off points
• Evaluate the ROI of various sourcing channels (LinkedIn, niche job boards, agencies) to optimize the recruitment budget

Who May Thrive in This Role

• Enjoys building meaningful partnerships and relationships
• Thinks strategically while effectively managing execution
• Is energized by workforce innovation and talent development
• Values community impact and service
• Thrives in a collaborative and dynamic environment
• Wants to contribute to something bigger than themselves
