5 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants A rapidly growing U.S.-based technology and manufacturing leader in the wireless space is seeking a Manager of Talent Acquisition to build and scale a sustainable early-career and skilled manufacturing talent pipeline across its expanding New York operations. This organization designs and manufactures next-generation wireless technology used in high-density, mission-critical environments—from major sports arenas and university campuses to military and federal applications. With over 1,000 employees and a newly built manufacturing campus, the company is investing heavily in workforce development, advanced technology, and long-term talent strategies. This is a newly created, hands-on builder role—ideal for someone who wants to own the strategy and the execution. You will shape the talent engine that feeds a high-growth, innovation-driven manufacturing organization. You will partner directly with senior leadership, including the Chief People Officer, and serve as the primary architect of early-career recruiting, skills-based hiring, and workforce readiness programs across the Syracuse region. Key Responsibilities: Lead recruiting for high-volume manufacturing roles as well as skilled and corporate hires. Create job architectures, career ladders, and competitive compensation strategies. Build and manage partnerships with trade schools, colleges, and workforce development programs. Establish co‑ops, apprenticeships, and long‑term job placement pipelines. Use workforce data to anticipate hiring needs and proactively build pipelines. Align recruiting strategies to both immediate staffing plans and long‑range growth goals. Community & Brand Building: Serve as the external face of early‑career recruitment across Upstate NY. Represent the company at career fairs, industry events, panels, and community organizations. Program Development: Partner with Talent Management to expand and mature the company’s Early Career Development framework. Create scalable processes and recruiting infrastructure aligned with an advanced manufacturing environment. Ideal Profile: Experience recruiting in advanced manufacturing, tech‑enabled manufacturing, or industrial technology environments. Strong knowledge of early‑career hiring programs, pipelines, and workforce readiness models. Equally comfortable on the plant floor, on campus, and in the boardroom. Hands‑on, highly resourceful, entrepreneurial builder—not a “process for process’ sake” recruiter. Able to operate independently, influence leaders, and create something where nothing exists today. Willing to travel regionally for campus + community engagement.
