TPG is seeking a Talent Acquisition Senior Associate to join our Global HR team.

• Search Firm Coordination: Assist in managing external search firm relationships for specialized roles, ensuring they are aligned with TPG's process standards and goals.
• Candidate Management: Manage the candidate relationship and sell the TPG opportunity and culture throughout the entire recruiting lifecycle, ensuring a high-touch and professional experience.
