Job Description

About Zinnov

Zinnov is a global management consulting firm that helps organizations make decisions that actually get used — and deliver results that matter. For over two decades, we’ve partnered with leading enterprises, high-growth technology companies, and investors to answer some of the toughest questions they face:

  • Where should we invest?

  • How do we scale globally?

  • What capabilities will win in the next decade?

Our work shapes market entry strategies, global operating models, M&A decisions, and long-term growth bets. We’re known for being data-led, execution-focused, and outcome-driven — not opinion-heavy slideware.

At Zinnov, how you work matters as much as what you deliver. We value independent thinking, crisp communication, and early ownership. With 450+ professionals across 10 global offices, we work across industries including Digital Services, ER&D, Enterprise Software, Semiconductors, Healthcare, BFSI, Automotive, Media & Telecom, and Private Equity.

Zinnov isn’t for everyone. It’s for people who want steep learning curves, honest feedback, and the chance to see their work influence real business decisions — not just presentations.

Why Globalisation Excellence (GE) 

Zinnov’s Globalisation Excellence (GE) practice helps enterprises build and scale Global Capability Centers (GCCs) end-to-end — from Design & Discovery to Build, Scale, and Run. 

In GE, you don’t work in silos. You: 

  • Own complex, end-to-end client journeys 
  • Work across GCC advisory, managed services, and BOT / outsourcing models 
  • Influence leadership decisions that shape long-term talent and operating strategies 

This is where strategy meets execution — and where talent plays a defining role. 

 About the Role 

As Director – Talent Acquisition, you will lead the hiring strategy and execution for a Global Capability Center (GCC) client in Hyderabad. You will own end-to-end recruitment across Technology, Engineering, and Corporate/Functional roles, partnering closely with senior stakeholders across global and regional teams. 

This role is designed for a data-driven TA leader who can scale hiring in a fast-paced environment, build strong pipelines for niche roles, run predictable operating rhythms, and drive high-quality outcomes through strong team leadership, stakeholder alignment, and process excellence. 

What You’ll Do 

TA Strategy & Workforce Planning 

  • Own the end-to-end TA strategy across Technology, Engineering, and Functional hiring for the GCC. 
  • Drive workforce planning in partnership with business leaders and HRBPs — demand forecasting, prioritization, and execution plans. 
  • Build scalable hiring playbooks to support growth across multiple role families and seniority levels. 

 Niche Hiring & Pipeline Building 

  • Build robust talent pipelines for niche and hard-to-hire roles through proactive sourcing beyond portals. 
  • Strengthen channel strategy across referrals, sourcing teams, vendors, research-based mapping, and talent communities. 
  • Drive hiring outcomes across critical roles with speed, quality, and consistency. 

 Stakeholder Management & Business Partnership 

  • Partner closely with senior leadership (Global / India) to understand business needs and translate them into hiring plans. 
  • Run structured business reviews, share market intelligence, and align on hiring trade-offs and feasibility. 
  • Maintain high stakeholder confidence through clarity, cadence, and transparent progress updates. 

 Team Leadership & Capability Building 

  • Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing TA team across recruiters, sourcers, and TA ops. 
  • Drive capability building on sourcing, assessment quality, role selling, tools, and candidate experience. 
  • Implement best practices for productivity, bandwidth allocation, and performance management.
