Summary

The Talent Acquisition Specialist will lead the recruitment and placement of 3 key components of our model: Core team members (full-time), project-focused community members (contractors), and building “bench” talent to join our community on an ongoing basis. Reporting to the Head of People, the TAS will work closely with the People and Project Operations teams to help forecast and manage internal resources and capacity. The Talent Acquisition Specialist must be incredibly organized, able to find clarity without having all the data and can see the big picture connecting all the details they are tracking.

This role is full-time and based out of our brand-new headquarters in Grant Park, Atlanta.
