• Lead all aspects of the executive search lifecycle: search/market intelligence strategy, sourcing & identification of top talent communities, candidate cultivation, client management, offer negotiations and executive onboarding including:

• Act as a trusted advisor and expert on trends within the market & industries, as well as internal shifts that may impact the business and hiring demands
• Partner with hiring teams to build effective sourcing strategies, drive proactive market research and promote/drive referrals especially in areas where the talent landscape is particularly competitive
• Integrate primary research, internal data, secondary sources, and marketplace intelligence in analyses that drive business decisions; embrace data & analytics
• Manage client and candidate expectations, advising on best practices when engaging passive candidates.
• Influence and educate stakeholders and interviewers, delivering on a consistent recruiting process for both the client and candidate
• Build and maintain relationships with internal and external partners (i.e. search firms)
• Collaborate with an extended team (the Business, HRCs, Compensation, Legal, Risk, Interview Logistics, etc.) to drive alignment; particularly with respect to ascertaining and managing candidate expectations and experience through the offer negotiation process

• Stay current on the market landscape of emerging technology that is disrupting the talent acquisition lifecycle and identify opportunities for innovation
• Share the compelling vision of Capital One’s value proposition and mission to the external talent market

• Diligent listening skills and the ability to adapt approach among diverse audiences to tease out insights and pain points
• Penchant for laughing often and celebrating wins – both big and small
• Team orientation, loves drawing connections across a matrixed organization
• High degree of comfort bringing ideas to the table that might at first seem absurd – then quickly build a case for testing and ultimately a recommendation for pursuit, scaling or abandoning
• Confidence to ask hard questions and push into uncharted territories – and not defaulting to the status quo before exploring new paths and quantifying risk / reward
• Demonstrate an aptitude for, knowledge of, and agility with technology in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
