Descripción del empleo

We are looking for a purpose-driven, high-ownership talent acquisition leader who can connect business strategy with workforce priorities and turn hiring plans into measurable business outcomes.

This is an opportunity for a hands-on, strategic professional who goes beyond filling vacancies — someone who builds talent pipelines, challenges conventional approaches, partners confidently with business leaders, and takes personal accountability for delivering the right talent at the right time.

What You’ll Lead :

• Strategic Manpower Planning: Translate business priorities and approved workforce requirements into effective recruitment plans, budgets and hiring priorities.
• End-to-End Talent Acquisition: Drive recruitment excellence, from requisition planning and sourcing through selection, offer management and onboarding handover.
• Senior & Critical Hiring: Personally lead executive, specialist and business-critical searches, using market intelligence and targeted sourcing strategies.
• Recruitment Analytics & Governance: Establish meaningful dashboards, track performance, identify trends and turn data into actionable business decisions.
• Employer Brand & Talent Pipelines: Strengthen our employer value proposition, build university partnerships, develop early-career talent and create sustainable pipelines for critical capabilities.
• Process & Technology Improvement: Simplify recruitment processes, leverage technology and automation, and improve efficiency, quality and candidate experience.
• Team & Stakeholder Leadership: Lead and develop a recruitment team while building trusted partnerships with business leaders and HR colleagues.

Who We’re Looking For :

We are seeking an individual who demonstrates:

• Purpose and ownership: Takes accountability from planning through execution and follows through on commitments.
• A business-first mindset: Understands that talent acquisition is a strategic business enabler, not simply a recruitment service.
• A hands-on approach: Can engage senior stakeholders strategically while personally driving critical searches and solving complex hiring challenges.
• A data-driven mindset: Uses recruitment analytics, market intelligence and measurable outcomes to guide decisions and improve performance.
• A continuous improvement mindset: Challenges the status quo, simplifies processes and embraces technology to deliver better results.
• Strong stakeholder influence: Builds credibility, manages competing priorities and constructively challenges decisions when needed.
• A talent-building mindset: Develops people, strengthens pipelines and creates long-term talent solutions rather than relying solely on reactive hiring.

Experience & Qualifications :

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration or a related discipline.
• 12+ years of progressive recruitment or talent acquisition experience, including team leadership, workforce planning, senior-level hiring, recruitment analytics and stakeholder advisory.
• Strong knowledge of end-to-end recruitment, sourcing strategies, recruitment governance, ATS platforms and applicable UAE labour requirements.
• Experience in FMCG, manufacturing or industrial environments, and UAE/GCC recruitment, will be an advantage.
