• Contribute to employer branding initiatives and candidate engagement efforts, ensuring consistency across regions.

Collaboration & Influence

• Build strong partnerships with local HR teams, hiring managers, and business leaders to align recruitment efforts with organizational goals.
• Influence without direct authority by establishing credibility as a trusted advisor and providing training and best-practice guidance to local teams.
