  Lead all stages of executive-level recruitment, including role scoping, outreach, candidate engagement, interviews, selection, and offer negotiation. Ensure every step reflects the foundation’s values and commitment to equity.

• Market Intelligence & Data-Driven Strategy
  Provide market analysis, talent insights, and hiring metrics to inform hiring decisions and anticipate future needs. Leverage data to forecast a 12-month hiring roadmap.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  Partner with other executive recruiters, hiring managers, and HR stakeholders to share best practices, support regional talent initiatives, and promote continuous improvement in recruitment processes.

• Project & Initiative Management
  Drive key regional recruitment projects and contribute to broader global talent acquisition strategies, representing the unique needs of regional offices.
