What This Role Will Do

- Establish meaningful employee touchpoints and use insights from these interactions to identify concerns, patterns, capability gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

- Strengthen retention through a deeper understanding of employee aspirations, career expectations, managerial practices, role design, and organizational factors influencing retention.
- Own recruitment pipelines for current and anticipated hiring needs, ensuring the organization maintains a ready and relevant pool of talent rather than beginning sourcing only when a vacancy arises.

- Lead Talent Acquisition with a focus on quality of hire, assessment judgment, candidate experience, talent pipelines, and alignment with long-term organizational needs.
- Build and improve HR frameworks, practices, and documentation that bring greater consistency and clarity to people decisions without creating unnecessary process.
- Stay current with employment practices, statutory requirements, compensation trends, talent-market movements, and evolving HR practices, translating relevant developments into practical organizational action.

- Sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive employee and organizational matters.
- High ownership and initiative; able to identify gaps, take action, and carry matters through to closure without constant direction.
- Ability to work with ambiguity, changing priorities, and cross-functional stakeholders while maintaining clarity of thought and execution.
- Ability to understand business context and translate it into practical people priorities and HR interventions.
