Get to Know Our Team:   

Recruitment Programs sits at the heart of Agoda’s People and Organizational Development department within Talent Acquisition. Our team leads the strategy and execution behind Agoda’s most critical hiring initiatives—early careers pipelines, global referral programs, internal mobility, and signature recruitment events. We focus on building scalable solutions and partnering with leaders across the business to address evolving talent needs. 

The Opportunity:  

As a Recruitment Program Manager at Agoda, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing our global talent strategy. You’ll be responsible for designing, launching, and optimizing talent acquisition programs that address Agoda’s most critical hiring needs—whether that’s building early careers pipelines, scaling global referral initiatives, or driving internal mobility and so much more. 

This role is highly strategic and hands-on. You’ll own the end-to-end program lifecycle: identifying opportunities, developing business cases, setting clear objectives, and managing execution through to measurable outcomes. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, the People Team, Talent Acquisition, and business stakeholders to ensure every program aligns with Agoda’s goals and delivers real impact. 

Success in this role means balancing big-picture vision with operational excellence. You’ll use data and insights to inform decisions, anticipate challenges, and continuously improve program effectiveness. Your ability to influence, build consensus, and manage relationships across functions will be key to driving adoption and achieving results. 

If you’re passionate about talent strategy, thrive in a fast-paced, global environment, and enjoy turning ideas into scalable solutions, this is your opportunity to make a lasting mark on Agoda’s growth and culture. 

In This Role, You’ll Get To:   

• Drive Strategic Talent Initiatives: Design and scale innovative programs—including early careers and development pipelines, global employee referral initiatives, and internal mobility frameworks—that directly support Agoda’s business growth and talent strategy. 
• Lead with Data & Insight: Harness analytics to inform program design, optimize execution, and ensure every initiative delivers measurable improvements in hiring quality, speed, diversity, and business impact. 
• Enhance Stakeholder Experience: Continuously elevate the experience for candidates, employees, hiring managers, and program participants by ensuring every interaction is seamless, engaging, and reflective of Agoda’s values. 
• Build Strategic Partnerships: Work closely with senior leaders, hiring managers, and cross-functional teams to align recruitment programs with organizational goals. Use your influence to drive consensus and inspire action across all levels. 
• Manage Global Programs End-to-End: Oversee the full lifecycle of complex, multi-region initiatives—navigating ambiguity, balancing competing priorities, and delivering results on time and within scope. 
• Enable Team Excellence: Share your expertise and coach others to foster a culture of learning, innovation, and high performance within the Talent Acquisition team—empowering colleagues without direct people management responsibilities. 
• Deliver Executive-Level Insights: Provide clear, actionable reporting and recommendations to Organization Development and business leadership through impactful dashboards, presentations, and regular program reviews. 

What You’ll Need To Succeed:  

• At least 8-10 years of experience in program management, project management, strategy, talent acquisition or consulting, with a proven track record of leading large-scale or complex programs in a global or matrixed organization. 
• Strong analytical skills with experience leveraging data and metrics to drive program decisions. 
• Demonstrated ability to influence and collaborate with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams. 
• Excellent project management, communication, and presentation skills. 
• Demonstrated success in change management and organizational transformation. 

It’s Great If You Have: 

• MBA or Master’s degree in Organization Development, HR, Business, or related field. 
• Professional certification in project or program management (e.g., PMP, PgMP, SHRM-SCP, SPHR). 
• Experience with advanced recruiting technologies and employer branding strategies.
