Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
I'm Jacob, Head of Talent at VIVAIA — a global DTC footwear brand born in the US and now present in 60+ countries, and one of the world's fastest-growing names in sustainable fashion. I lead our talent function end to end, building the teams that power everything from our Shenzhen headquarters to a retail footprint expanding rapidly across international markets. In practice, that spans global talent acquisition, employer branding, talent strategy, and pipeline building — but at its core, my job is simpler than the titles suggest: to find remarkable people and give them a reason to do the best work of their careers here. I'm drawn to the harder, more interesting version of this work — hiring across cultures and time zones, designing a process that's both rigorous and genuinely human, and treating every candidate experience as an extension of the VIVAIA brand. I'm also a firm believer that AI is reshaping modern talent work for the better, from smarter sourcing to sharper, more thoughtful hiring decisions, and I'm building a team that embraces it. If you're exceptional at what you do, a partner who shares that standard, or a fellow people leader thinking hard about the future of work, I'd love to connect. We are hiring across global markets.
