The Role:

As AVP – Talent Acquisition (Leadership Hiring), you will lead executive and senior leadership searches for BXRE's portfolio companies.

Your ability to represent Revantage and BXRE credibly at the leadership level is non-negotiable.

What You'll Own

• Full-cycle executive search for Niche Sr. AVP, VP, SVP and select C-suite roles across BXRE portcos
• Executive stakeholder management — partnering directly with portco CEOs, CHROs, and board-level sponsors
• Confidential search strategy design — research methodology, market mapping, longlisting, and candidate engagement
• Candidate assessment and calibration — structured competency frameworks, debrief facilitation, hiring manager alignment
• Offer strategy and close — total compensation packaging, negotiation, and competing-offer management at senior levels
• Relationship management with retained and boutique search firms; holding them to quality and timeline standards
• Governance and reporting through Workday — pipeline dashboards, requisition integrity, executive hiring metrics
• Employer brand and candidate experience at the leadership level — every touchpoint reflects the BXRE brand

What Makes You Right For This

• 15+ years of talent acquisition experience, with a meaningful portion focused on leadership and executive hiring
• Background in executive search (in-house, retained firm, or boutique) strongly preferred
• Demonstrated success closing Director-to-C-suite mandates across complex, matrixed organizations
• Exceptional executive presence — you earn trust with senior stakeholders quickly and hold it
• Strong assessment capability — behavioral and competency-based interviewing, structured debrief facilitation
• Workday Recruiting proficiency — executive requisition management, pipeline tracking, offer workflow governance
• Offer closure expertise — you've navigated competing offers, counteroffers, and compensation complexity at the leadership level
• Discreet, structured, and calm under pressure — leadership searches are sensitive; you handle them accordingly
• Real estate, private equity, or financial services exposure a strong plus
• Bengaluru-based; available for portco travel and global leadership calls as needed
