Director, Global Talent Acquisition

Who You Are:

We’re looking for a Director of Global Talent Acquisition who can connect our vision, mission and story to inspire, coach and mentor the global Talent Acquisition team and evolve Getty Images’ recruiting processes. Our NY team is the hub of support for our global offices, meaning we need a leader who can effectively work cross-functionally with leaders and a team across the globe. Although the hub is NY, we are fully supportive of applicants who may want to operate out of our Seattle offices.

Are you a dynamic and strategic leader of Recruiting and Talent Acquisition? Are you committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, welcoming to all? Do you have a proven track record in collaborating with business partners to deliver innovative recruiting solutions?

We also believe that talent acquisition is front and center of our efforts to build a diverse and inclusive workplace and creating a culture of belonging, driving collective responsibility across the organization. Our commitment to these principles infuses all we do, and our team leads by example.

You will be responsible for developing and refining talent strategies for our business partners, including employment branding, talent channel development, candidate engagement and assessment as well as metrics and analytics. You will be a transformative leader focused on driving innovation and operational efficiencies within the talent organization.
