Senior Director of Talent (Denver)

Senior Director of Talent

Location: Colorado, United States

Compensation: $225,000 Base + 30% Bonus + LTI

Relocation: Supported

Working Arrangement: On-site

We’re partnering with a rapidly growing, national industrial and field services organization to appoint a Director of Talent Acquisition.

My client generates over $1B in revenue, employs more than 3,000 people across the United States, and operates through a decentralized network of businesses.

After significant growth in recent years, the organization is investing in the leadership, infrastructure, and talent capabilities needed to support its next phase of expansion. This senior leadership opportunity is responsible for transforming how the business attracts, recruits, and develops talent across its operations.

The challenge extends well beyond traditional talent acquisition.

From recruiting senior executives and operational leaders to addressing the growing shortage of skilled technical professionals, this individual will play a critical role in building a scalable, high-performing talent function.

The Role

You’ll lead an established talent acquisition team and work closely with executive leadership and operational stakeholders across the organization.

Key responsibilities include:

• Executive & Leadership Recruitment: Leading senior-level recruitment across the organization, including executive, general management, and operational leadership appointments.
• Talent Acquisition Strategy: Developing a scalable recruitment strategy that supports continued growth across multiple business units.
• Skilled Workforce Recruitment: Building innovative approaches to attracting skilled technical and operational professionals across a geographically dispersed workforce.
• Corporate Recruitment: Overseeing recruitment across central business functions, from individual contributors through to senior leadership.
• Early Careers & Talent Pipelines: Developing sustainable talent pipelines through graduate, internship and early-career recruitment initiatives.
• Recruitment Operations: Improving hiring processes, recruitment effectiveness, candidate experience and relationships with internal stakeholders.
• Team Leadership: Leading and developing an established recruitment team while maintaining a hands-on, commercially focused approach.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for experienced talent acquisition leaders who have worked in large, complex, decentralized organizations.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Significant experience leading talent acquisition in a large organization, ideally generating $1B+ in annual revenue.
• Experience supporting multi-site, decentralized, or geographically dispersed operations.
• Exposure to industrial services, manufacturing, facilities management, construction, infrastructure, or other operationally intensive industries.
• A strong understanding of executive recruitment alongside operational and skilled workforce hiring.
• Experience developing recruitment strategies and processes within growing or evolving organizations.
• A track record of leading and developing high-performing recruitment teams.
• The ability to build credibility with senior executives and operational leadership teams.
• A strategic mindset, combined with a willingness to stay close to execution.

We’re interested in individuals who bring an entrepreneurial approach to talent acquisition, are comfortable challenging conventional thinking, and enjoy solving difficult workforce challenges.

Why Consider It?

This isn’t simply an opportunity to manage an existing recruitment function.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape how a billion-dollar organization approaches talent acquisition, working directly with senior leadership to build capabilities that support long-term growth.

The business operates with a high degree of autonomy across its operating companies, creating an environment where relationships, commercial understanding and practical solutions matter.

The successful individual will have genuine influence over recruitment strategy, leadership hiring, and developing sustainable workforce pipelines.
