The Role
It’s an exciting time for the organization – IPC International was formed in 2025 by bringing together the IPC EMEA and IPC Asia Pacific teams to create a single global business.
We’re looking for a Senior Talent and Workforce Planning Manager who will play a key role in the design and delivery of talent management, workforce planning, learning and development, employee value proposition, and reward strategies across our EMEA and APAC regions.
