talent acquisition operations manager.

Our partner is bringing their impressive global success story to Budapest, building a brand-new Global Business Center. They are looking for a Talent Acquisition Operations Manager to lead their TA Operations function and become a foundational pillar of this journey.

They offer a unique environment that prioritizes an inclusive culture and service excellence from day one. In this role, you will not only lead a team but also shape the operational framework of a growing international community. It is a rare chance to join a professional environment that values meritocracy, celebrates success, and genuinely enjoys building a fresh operation in the heart of Budapest.

As a key leader within the Business Services function, you will manage the digital and operational backbone of our partner's global recruitment efforts. You will act as the Team Lead for TA Operations, ensuring that workflows are seamless, data is "gold standard," and global scaling is supported by best-in-class technology. This is a "hands-on" leadership role where you will balance strategic oversight with direct delivery to ensure a world-class candidate experience.
