Job description

TPG is a leading global alternative asset management firm, founded in San Francisco in 1992, with investment and operational teams around the world. TPG invests across a broadly diversified set of strategies, including private equity, impact, credit, real estate, and market solutions, and our unique strategy is driven by collaboration, innovation, and inclusion. Our teams combine deep product and sector experience with broad capabilities and expertise to develop differentiated insights and add value for our fund investors, portfolio companies, management teams, and communities.

TPG’s success depends on our people, and we build and sustain our world‑class team by creating an inclusive, supportive culture within the firm that seeks excellence and encourages humility and transparency. The quality of our investments and our ability to build great companies depend on the originality of our insights. Reaching our firm’s full potential means supporting every team member to bring the fullness of their unique perspective to their work and to our community. We are committed to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace to foster diversity of thought and reflect the breadth of our limited partners and portfolio companies.

Description of Position

TPG is seeking a Talent Acquisition Senior Associate to join our Global HR team. This role is ideal for a recruiter who is energized by a high volume & face‑paced environment, enjoys a high degree of ownership over their work, and is looking to further develop their strategic recruiting skills within a sophisticated global firm. As TPG scales, we continue to adjust our recruiting strategies to handle continued volume through increased automation and more sustainable, proactive approaches.

In this role, you will act as a talent advisor to the business, helping to move beyond just‑in‑time hiring by contributing to the development of evergreen talent pipelines. You will manage the full‑cycle process for experienced hires, with a focus on direct sourcing, stakeholder calibration, and data‑driven execution. While you will have a high level of autonomy in managing your searches, you will work closely with TA leadership to help drive the evolution of our recruiting function. This role focuses on the strategy and execution of the search, while partnering with Recruiting Coordinators who lead the interview logistics and scheduling.

• Search Ownership & Execution: Own and execute the full‑cycle recruitment process for a significant portfolio of experienced‑level hires, acting as a primary point of contact for hiring managers from intake through to offer negotiation.
• Evergreen Pipeline Support: Help build and maintain evergreen talent pools for core, recurring functions (Operations, Finance, Accounting) to ensure a consistent, high‑quality funnel of talent that anticipates the firm's growth.
• Direct Sourcing & Market Research: Execute direct sourcing strategies to identify and engage passive talent. Conduct market research and mapping to provide business leaders with talent intelligence and reduce reliance on external search firms.
• Stakeholder Partnership: Partner with hiring managers to understand their business priorities and talent needs. Assist in the development of search strategies and provide guidance on market conditions and candidate calibration.
• Process Improvement Support: Assist in the evolution of the TPG recruiting model by helping to implement and execute new workflows, automation, and technology enhancements (Greenhouse/Workday).
• KPI & Data Execution: Partner with TA leadership to help build KPIs and maintain absolute discipline in data capture. Execute against defined metrics and use funnel data to report on search health and help inform hiring decisions.
• Search Firm Coordination: Assist in managing external search firm relationships for specialized roles, ensuring they are aligned with TPG’s process standards and goals.
• Candidate Management: Manage the candidate relationship and sell the TPG opportunity and culture throughout the entire recruiting lifecycle, ensuring a high‑touch and professional experience.
• Broader HR Support: Participate in broader Human Resources team initiatives and projects as needed, across diversity, learning & engagement, performance, development, and other sub‑functional areas.

Requirements

• 6+ years of full‑lifecycle recruiting; experience in a search firm, asset management or financial services is strongly preferred. Prior coverage of Engineering, Operations, Finance and/or Accounting is a plus.
• Proven track record in experienced hire recruiting is required, with success in managing high‑volume portfolios.
• Ability to work with a high degree of autonomy while remaining a collaborative team player who is open to training and professional development.
• Experience with direct sourcing (LinkedIn Recruiter, networking) and an understanding of how to work with search firms.
• Strong analytical mindset with a focus on data integrity and an interest in helping build and execute against recruiting KPIs.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build trust and influence with stakeholders.
• Highly proactive mindset—a self‑starter who takes full ownership of their results and is eager to contribute to team‑wide process improvements.
• Experience in asset management or financial services is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in Greenhouse and/or Workday Recruiting is a plus.
