Reports to: Vice President, HR

Location: Los Angeles, CA, 3 days/week

LG Household & Health Care (H&H) US is growing fast and we're looking for a Talent Manager to help fuel that momentum. This is more than a recruiting role; it's a chance to build the talent function as we scale, standing up processes and pipelines from the ground up rather than inheriting a playbook. You'll lead full-cycle recruiting across our organization, driving hiring across three entities and teams primarily based in Los Angeles and New York. You'll be a critical partner to hiring managers and HR business partners, building talent pipelines that power our next chapter of growth, delivering a candidate experience people rave about, and championing hiring practices that bring LG H&H US's values to life. If you're an entrepreneurial self-starter who's energized by scale, loves building things from zero to one, and wants your fingerprints on the team shaping our future, this is your seat at the table.

Responsibilities:

• Manage the end-to-end recruiting lifecycle; intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and closing for roles across LG H&H US
• Design and build recruiting processes, workflows, and pipelines from scratch where none exist today, creating scalable systems rather than relying on legacy playbooks
• Partner with hiring managers to understand role requirements, team dynamics, and business priorities, translating them into effective sourcing and interview strategies
• Proactively build and maintain talent pipelines through creative sourcing, employee referrals, agency partnerships, and market research
• Serve as a talent ambassador for LG H&H US, ensuring a consistent, positive candidate experience from first touch through onboarding
• Guide hiring managers and interview panels on structured interviewing, unconscious bias mitigation, and best practices for evaluation
• Manage requisitions and candidate data within the ATS, ensuring accuracy and compliance across entities
• Track and report on key recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, source of hire, pipeline health, offer acceptance rate) across each entity
• Coordinate offer approvals, compensation benchmarking, and negotiations in partnership with HR team
• Ensure recruiting practices comply with applicable employment laws and internal policies across all three entities
• Support employer branding initiatives, including job postings, career site content, LinkedIn pages, and participation in recruiting events/job fairs
• Take ownership of process and tooling gaps; identify what's missing, propose solutions, and implement them independently to help us hire faster and smarter as the business scales
• Perform additional duties and projects as needed
