About The Role We’re offering a rare opportunity to accelerate your career and make a real business impact from day one. Designed for high-potential, action-oriented graduates from top U.S. business schools, this role is built to develop the next generation of global HR leaders.

You’ll begin your journey in Las Vegas, where over 12–24 months you’ll step into a fast-paced environment, gaining hands-on experience across Talent Acquisition, Communications, Learning & Development, and People Operations. Through real responsibility, not just observation, you’ll build the skills, judgment, and business acumen that set exceptional leaders apart.

Then, you’ll take that foundation global.

You’ll relocate to India to step into a meaningful HR leadership role, where you’ll drive impact at scale, shaping talent strategy, influencing business decisions, and helping build a high-performing organization in one of our most dynamic markets.

This is more than career acceleration. It’s a chance to lead, to grow, and to shape the future of a global business early in your career.

If you’re looking for challenge, ownership, and the opportunity to make your mark on a global stage, this is where it starts.
