The Principal Recruiter is a senior individual contributor in enterprise recruiting. This role solves cross-organizational and enterprise-critical talent problems through scalable mechanisms and governance. The Principal Recruiter may carry a selective requisition load of niche roles, lead significant cross-functional programs (e.g., University Recruiting, New Talent Programs), or a blend of both. The Principal Recruiter identifies patterns across executive and accountability levels, designs durable talent acquisition solutions that persist without personal involvement, and co-architects AI-enabled capabilities with TA Operations. This role doesn't directly manage people; it manages outcomes at scale. Success is measured by hiring outcomes, program impact, system-level improvement, AI adoption consistency, operating model quality, and the adaptability of cross-organizational solutions.

Scalable Program Design & Leadership: Design and establish scalable programs (e.g., UR, NTP, PERM, IJOP). Lead or sponsor significant cross-functional programs that span multiple business units or regions. Represent the business and ensure needs are met by RPO providers while resolving critical issues. AI-Enabled Operating Model Co-Architect: Partner with TA Ops, HRIS, and vendors to co-design, pilot, and scale AI-enabled recruiting workflows and governance frameworks. Be accountable for AI outcomes demonstrated, auditability, and risk at scale. Own the feedback loop between field adoption realities and Ops-led innovation. Change Leadership & Recruiter Enablement: Drive adoption of AI-enabled capabilities across recruiters through playbooks, coaching frameworks, and success metrics. Bridge what Ops builds with what the field operationalizes. Mentor senior recruiters and shape organizational capability. Talent Intelligence Strategy: Partner with People Analytics and TA Ops to define what talent data matters, build reporting frameworks, and own the enterprise narrative on workforce competitiveness. Change how others act on intelligence across the function. Complex Problem Solving: Solve highly complex or ambiguous talent problems, resolving competing priorities across organizations, balancing speed, quality, risk, and compliance. Thought Leadership: Advise leadership on how emerging AI capabilities will reshape TA roles and operating models. Stay current on evolving TA trends and articulate compelling points of view to influence TA leadership decisions.
