Senior Talent Acquisition Partner
Overview
Remote | Preference for Chicagoland Area (Lake Forest, IL Proximity)
Define What Great Looks Like.
At Reynolds Consumer Products, we believe great hiring doesn't happen by accident. It happens when skilled Talent Acquisition professionals partner closely with business leaders, challenge conventional thinking, leverage market intelligence, and bring discipline to every hiring decision.
We're looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to do exactly that.
This role represents an individual contributor within our Talent Acquisition organization and serves as the benchmark for excellence across the function. You'll lead complex, high-impact searches, influence senior stakeholders, mentor recruiting teammates, and help shape how Talent Acquisition is practiced across the company. This is not a requisition management role. This is a strategic advisory role for someone who sees Talent Acquisition as a business function, not an administrative process. If you thrive on solving difficult talent challenges, influencing without authority, and helping leaders make better hiring decisions, we'd love to talk with you.

Bring Talent Market Intelligence to the Table
Provide leaders with meaningful insights on talent availability, competitive hiring practices, geographic trends, compensation expectations, and emerging workforce dynamics. Help the business make informed decisions using data rather than assumptions.
Elevate Hiring Decisions
Guide hiring teams through structured, competency-based selection processes that improve quality of hire and create more consistent hiring outcomes. Serve as an expert in candidate assessment, talent evaluation, and interview strategy.
Create Exceptional Candidate Experiences
Build meaningful relationships with candidates while delivering a recruiting experience that reflects our values and strengthens our employer brand. Communicate with professionalism, transparency, and urgency throughout the hiring process.
Shape the Future of Talent Acquisition
