Interested in joining one of Canada’s top performing asset managers? We are looking for a Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition to join our Human Resources team for an upcoming vacancy, to help shape how we attract the talent behind our continued growth.

This is leadership role with responsibility for leading our global Talent Acquisition team and overseeing recruitment strategy and operations across CC&L Financial Group and its affiliates. Talent Acquisition is a valued function at CC&L, with significant investment made over the past several years to build on our capabilities. Our team has more than doubled during that time, growing from approximately 4 to 10 professionals globally which this key resource will be responsible to lead. Alongside team growth, there has also been continued investment in technology, data, processes and infrastructure to support the evolving needs of our businesses.

As a trusted advisor to business leaders, you will translate business priorities into forward-looking talent strategies, bring insight into an evolving talent market, and help leaders make informed hiring decisions. You will lead and develop a team of recruitment professionals while continuing to modernize our approach to sourcing, candidate experience, employment brand, technology, data and AI-enabled recruitment. This is an opportunity for an experienced Talent Acquisition leader who is equally comfortable setting strategy, embracing new technology, staying connected to execution, and who is excited about continuing to build a modern, scalable Talent Acquisition function.

Join a collaborative, inclusive community that values your well-being and flexibility. Work on meaningful projects with talented colleagues committed to your growth and success. Your contributions will be recognized through competitive rewards and opportunities for advancement. Our offices currently operate on a hybrid model with a combination of in-office and remote working days throughout the week. This role will require 3 days/week working in our Toronto office location.

Use data and talent intelligence to drive decisions, translating recruitment metrics, market trends and external talent insights into meaningful recommendations for business leaders.
Deliver an exceptional hiring experience, continuously improving how candidates and hiring managers experience the recruitment process while maintaining high standards for quality and service.
Oversee Talent Acquisition operations and governance, ensuring our technology, processes, policies and practices are effective, compliant and positioned to support the organization's evolving needs.

What You Bring
