 GumGum is hiring a
 
 Director of Talent Acquisition
 
 to modernize and elevate our global TA function. This role reports directly to the Chief People Officer and serves as a core member of the GumGum People (HR) Leadership Team.
 
 
 Our recruiting engine is strong and dependable. As the business evolves, we&rsquo;re ready to elevate the function to be more strategic, metrics-driven, and commercially aligned. We are looking for a leader who will move the function from solid execution to disciplined, metrics-driven, commercially aligned talent acquisition.
 
 
 This is a true
 
 player-coach role
 
 . Approximately 50% of this role will be dedicated to personally leading high-priority searches, particularly within GTM and Sales. The remaining 50% will focus on building strategy, systems, capability, and performance discipline across the function.
 
 
 If you are looking for a purely strategic oversight role, this is not it.
 
 
 Note: GumGum fosters a flexible work environment, offering GumGummers the ability to work either in-office or remotely/from home. However, for occasional in-person collaboration, we kindly ask that this position be located within a 'commutable' distance to our office.
