Position Summary

You will report directly to the VP, Global Talent Acquisition (TA) and be a member of our Global TA Center of Excellence, based in Colgate-Palmolive's Global HQ in New York City. In this role, you will directly support our Director, Executive TA with external labor market research and external talent mapping projects by leveraging tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Talent Insights and Revelio to conduct research and provide accurate compelling market maps and insights that will inform future talent strategy and decisions.

• Data Vendor & Platform Ownership: Support ownership and relationship management for specialized labor market data and talent intelligence platforms (e.g., LinkedIn Talent Insights, Revelio, Gartner). Partner on vendor business reviews, participate in contract renewals and drive internal adoption and training for the broader TA team.

• Prior experience using platforms such as LinkedIn Recruiter/Talent Insights as well as labor market data tools (such as Revelio, Lightcast/Emsi, Draup, or Beamery)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience within a large, matrixed global enterprise or a top-tier executive search firm
• Exceptional ability to translate dense, raw data tables into high-impact visual stories and executive summaries that non-technical business leaders can easily digest.
• Confident presentation and advisory skills; comfortable defending data methodologies and influencing opinions in front of C-suite and HR leadership.

Compensation and Benefits

Salary Range $96,000- $110,000 USD

Pay is determined based on experience, qualifications, and location. Salaried employees may also be eligible for discretionary bonuses, profit-sharing, and long-term incentives for Executive-level roles.
