<p data-start="421" data-end="730"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Zinnov is a global management consulting firm that helps organizations make decisions that actually get used — and deliver results that matter.

</ul>
<p data-start="842" data-end="1056"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Our work shapes market entry strategies, global operating models, M&A decisions, and long-term growth bets. We’re known for being<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong data-start="972" data-end="1023">data-led, execution-focused, and outcome-driven</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>— not opinion-heavy slideware.</span></p>
<p data-start="1058" data-end="1407"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">At Zinnov, how you work matters as much as what you deliver. We value independent thinking, crisp communication, and early ownership. With 450+ professionals across 10 global offices, we work across industries including Digital Services, ER&D, Enterprise Software, Semiconductors, Healthcare, BFSI, Automotive, Media & Telecom, and Private Equity.</span></p>
<p data-start="1409" data-end="1593"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Zinnov isn’t for everyone. It’s for people who want steep learning curves, honest feedback, and the chance to see their work influence real business decisions — not just presentations.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Why Globalisation Excellence (GE)</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Zinnov’s Globalisation Excellence (GE) practice helps enterprises build and scale Global Capability Centers (GCCs) end-to-end — from Design & Discovery to Build, Scale, and Run. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In GE, you don’t work in silos. You: </span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Own complex, end-to-end client journeys </span></li>
<li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Work across GCC advisory, managed services, and BOT / outsourcing models </span></li>
<li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Influence leadership decisions that shape long-term talent and operating strategies </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This is where strategy meets execution — and where talent plays a defining role. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <strong>About the Role</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As <strong>Leader – Talent Acquisition</strong>, you will lead a portfolio of strategic GCC and product-engineering client accounts, owning talent strategy, executive relationships, delivery performance, and the leadership teams that deliver outcomes. You will partner with CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, CHROs and business leaders to translate growth ambitions into executable workforce plans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This is a multi-account leadership role, not a senior recruiting delivery position. You will anticipate business risks, challenge assumptions with market evidence, develop independent TA leaders, and create repeatable capabilities that strengthen Zinnov beyond any single account.</span></p>
