Talent Acquisition Manager

NewGlobe specializes in working with government leaders to make data-driven decisions to create impactful education systems — the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society. We leverage more than a decade of experience and proven impact in integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement — all grounded in learning science — to ensure each teacher is empowered to engage children in transformational learning, and each child has the opportunity to develop to her full potential. Every day, we support governments to solve what were once seen as intractable problems, and by doing so, ensuring this generation will grow up to lead more fulfilled lives, and at the same time build economic prosperity for themselves, their communities, and the world. Our high-touch, intensive professional development programs, along with integrated school management, teacher support, and assessment software, enable schools to succeed. We work within state and national curriculum and syllabi, ensuring each child is empowered to learn her own history, and master local content, while being globally competitive in mathematics and languages. The science of behaviour change and the science of learning is the foundation of all we do. We work with urgency because children grow up fast; we work relentlessly, because improvement requires continuous problem-solving. We are honoured to serve visionary government leaders, and rebuild trust in public institutions.

Talent Acquisition is responsible for bringing together purpose-driven, inspirational talent from diverse backgrounds to ensure we have the right team to deliver on our goals. We are proactive and data-driven problem solvers, and actively work as ambassadors for our work, sharing our successes, and inviting selected leaders to join our teams. To deliver on the promise of empowering teachers to succeed, and supporting all children to learn, the work all our teams do is all encompassing. We need team members who are ready to challenge their minds and hearts each day. We need bright minds who want to be part of building a new globe, a more equitable globe, to join us. We are rigorous in our section and evaluation processes, and then own a very warm welcome to those who join us, ensuring successful onboarding. We deliver excellence in candidate and new employee experience throughout this process. We pride ourselves on seeing the team members we bring build long-lasting and successful careers with us.
