Reports to: Vice President, HR

LG Household & Health Care (H&H) US is growing fast and we're looking for a Talent Manager to help fuel that momentum. This is more than a recruiting role; it's a chance to build the talent function as we scale, standing up processes and pipelines from the ground up rather than inheriting a playbook. You'll lead full-cycle recruiting across our organization, driving hiring across three entities and teams primarily based in Los Angeles and New York. You'll be a critical partner to hiring managers and HR business partners, building talent pipelines that power our next chapter of growth, delivering a candidate experience people rave about, and championing hiring practices that bring LG H&H US's values to life. If you're an entrepreneurial self-starter who's energized by scale, loves building things from zero to one, and wants your fingerprints on the team shaping our future, this is your seat at the table.
