  • Experience managing high-volume hiring within a manufacturing environment
  • Leadership or project management experience
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, including partnering with senior leadership
  • Experience developing sourcing strategies and proactive talent pipelines
  • Ability to provide market insights around manufacturing and production talent
  • Experience working with external recruitment vendors / RPO partners is beneficial

  • Potential for permanent conversion following the initial 6-month contract
  • A fast-paced, collaborative environment where you can make an immediate impact
  • Opportunity to partner closely with business and HR leadership on both immediate and longer-term hiring strategy
