Director, Talent Acquisition

This is not a traditional Talent Acquisition leadership role.

Collibra is looking for an experienced Director of Talent Acquisition to lead our global Talent Acquisition function.

Collibra sits at the intersection of two of the most consequential shifts in enterprise technology: the rapid adoption of AI and the governance required to make it trustworthy at scale. As the leader in data and AI governance, we are building the team that will define our next chapter of growth.

As AI fundamentally reshapes how talent is identified, engaged, assessed, and hired. We are looking for a leader with a clear point of view on how Talent Acquisition should operate in an AI-native environment and the ability to turn that vision into execution.

This is a hybrid role based in our New York, NY or Raleigh, NC office. Our hybrid model means you'll work from the office at least two days each week. This setup helps us stay connected, work more closely together, and keep making progress as a team.
