Position Summary...

Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition (Player–Coach)

We’re looking for a hands-on TA leader who loves the craft of leadership recruiting as much as building a high-performing team. In this role, you’ll lead three exceptional TA Partners and personally drive discreet, senior-level searches (Senior Director and Group Director) that shape the future of Sam’s Club.

What you'll do...

• Lead, coach, and develop a small but mighty team to deliver consistent, high-quality hiring outcomes across critical business areas.
• Personally run end-to-end searches for senior leadership roles, partnering directly with executives, shaping the brief, sourcing deeply, and closing with conviction.
• Raise the hiring bar through structured, evidence-based selection, strong calibration with hiring leaders, and a candidate experience that reflects our brand at its best.
• Build diverse, succession-ready slates and proactive pipelines for repeatable, senior hiring needs.
• Be a trusted advisor to VPs and business leaders, translating business strategy into a smart, practical hiring plan.
• Drive simple, durable process improvements that increase speed and quality without adding noise.

What success looks like

• Senior leaders feel you “get the business” and rely on you as their first call for critical hires.
• Your team levels up, clear roles, crisp operating rhythm, shared standards, and visible growth in capability and impact.
• Senior searches are run with discipline and heart: well-defined outcomes, tight stakeholder alignment, thoughtful sourcing strategy, smooth assessments, and confident, timely decisions.
• Candidate experience is standout—clear, respectful, and engaging from first hello to signed offer.
• Our leadership bench gets stronger through intentional leadership, talent pipelines and culture‑add hiring.

What you'll bring...

• Proven experience leading recruiters and personally closing senior-level roles in a complex, high-velocity environment (retail, consumer, tech, supply chain, or similarly scaled ops).
• The player–coach mindset: you set direction, build systems, and jump in to do the work when it matters.
• Mastery of leadership sourcing, stakeholder management, and confidential search execution.
• Skill in structured interviewing and assessment; you help leaders separate signal from noise.
• A calm, credible presence with executives; crisp communication; strong judgment.
• A commitment to building teams that make us better, culture add over culture fit.
