Lead Talent Acquisition Partner

COORDINTES WITH

Internal stakeholders including staff, hiring managers, and executive leadership; external stakeholders including candidates, universities, PEOs, immigration attorneys, staffing vendors, and confederation partners.

PURPOSE OF THE POSITION

Every person who joins Oxfam America should experience a hiring process that reflects who we are: thoughtful, inclusive, equitable, and grounded in respect.

This is an opportunity for an experienced recruiter who enjoys both sides of talent acquisition: building relationships with people and building the processes that help people succeed.
