Talent Manager

ABOUT VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most by challenging norms and fixing the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7/365, and created an ER experience that focuses on what our pets and pet parents really need. We’ve done the same for our people (VEGgies), finding a way to say YES so they are empowered to achieve great things, grow in unexpected ways, and find a place where they truly belong.

We’re rethinking emergency care from every angle—from how we run our hospitals to how we support the people working inside them. That’s where our headquarters team comes in. Whether building technology to make our hospitals more efficient, recruiting and growing incredible VEGgies, or bringing our brand to life through marketing, our VQ (VEG Headquarters) team makes it all possible—ensuring our hospitals and people have everything they need to help pets and their families.

VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.

THE JOB

At VEG we find a way to say YES–and this role brings that mindset to identifying, engaging, and hiring exceptional talent for VEGquarters (VQ) so every candidate feels the VEG difference along the way.

As Talent Manager, Corporate Recruiting, you’ll own full-cycle recruiting across a portfolio of corporate roles, partnering with hiring managers to define what great looks like, identify strategic talent pools, engage high-quality candidates, and guide searches from kickoff through offer. 

You’ll create a high-touch, not-normal candidate experience at every step. That means thoughtful communication, relationship-building, and making sure every candidate leaves the process as a fan of VEG, regardless of the outcome.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• VQ Hiring: Manage a portfolio of full-cycle searches to attract and hire top talent across VQ. Partner with hiring managers to understand role needs, engage high-quality candidates, support a mutual assessment process, and support offer through close.
• Search Strategy: Develop and execute search strategies that connect each role to VQ’s hiring goals. Translate role needs into clear talent approaches, sourcing plans, and candidate pipelines with guidance from VQ Recruiting leadership.
• Search Excellence: Drive searches with clarity, care, and consistency from launch through final decision. Keep candidates, hiring managers, and stakeholders moving through a high-touch, seamless process.
• Hiring Manager Enablement: Equip and support hiring managers with best practices, tools, interview guidance, calibration support, and structured feedback rhythms to ensure a consistent, effective, and high-quality hiring process.
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional partners to support hiring needs and build strong working relationships across the organization to support talent decisions.
• Talent Insights and Metrics: Use recruiting systems, candidate feedback, market signals, and search learnings to track progress, surface risks, and improve the searches you support.
• Operational Excellence: Maintain strong Greenhouse, Gem, and Workday hygiene, manage search logistics with urgency, and contribute practical improvements to templates, sourcing approaches, interview plans, candidate communications, and hiring rhythms as gaps surface.

WHAT YOU NEED

• 5+ years of full-lifecycle recruiting experience; in-house, agency, or search experience preferred.
• Experience with CRM, ATS, or recruiting platforms; Greenhouse, GEM, and Workday experience is a plus.
• Experience managing or supporting hiring processes from intake through offer, including sourcing, screening, interview coordination, feedback, and candidate close.
• Strong client service mindset, with the ability to build relationships, understand hiring needs, and deliver a thoughtful candidate and hiring manager experience.
• Passion for Talent and creative ways of finding, attracting, assessing, and engaging candidates.
• Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple searches, priorities, and confidential information at once.
• Energetic, motivated, self-starter who can deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment where priorities and processes continue to evolve.
• Familiarity with social media, professional networks, outbound sourcing, referrals, and market mapping.
• 4 days in office required; HQ located in White Plains, NY.

That's why we're devoted to creating an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve—where different perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated.

We are focused on providing equitable opportunities for growth, promoting inclusive decision-making, and ensuring that everyone's perspective is considered.
