Stagwell does recruiting differently — and we're evolving it even further. 

As we scale globally, we are building a central Talent Acquisition team at the Stagwell level to support recruiting needs across the global segments. This model expands reach, deepens expertise, and enables fast, flexible support for our agencies where it matters most: finding and hiring exceptional talent. 

The Director, Talent Acquisition — APAC is the regional recruiting lead across Asia-Pacific.
