The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  IBM is hiring a Talent Acquisition Manager in Edison, NJ.

• Role description

  If you enjoy translating ambiguity into actionable plans, our Talent Acquisition Manager opening in Edison was built for you. IBM frames it as a partnership — $126,000 - $181,000 for your 6 years, ownership of business work, and growth shared both ways.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Draft the business case that gets a mission-soaked initiative funded past committee
  • Prioritize the backlog when everything is labeled urgent by someone
  • Carry a feedback-hungry business problem from whiteboard to working pilot in Edison, NJ
  • Oversee budgeting cycles and hold teams accountable to spending targets
  • Broker tradeoffs when sales, product, and finance want three different things in Edison

  What You'll Bring

  • Real proficiency with Stakeholder Management, plus willingness to learn Emotional Intelligence fast
  • A point of view on IBM's space, sharpened by your own reading
  • A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
  • 7 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written

  IBM grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Edison room into the business partner much of NJ now trusts. The team trusts each other to do the right thing without constant oversight or micromanagement.

  Our $126,000 - $181,000 package travels with real mentorship, a growth ladder you can see, and the flexibility to clock in from Edison or home.

  Right now, today, this seat at IBM is genuinely empty and waiting.

  The candidates who apply early at IBM are the ones we remember, so be early.
