You’ll also help ensure that candidates have a great experience with Living Goods from start to finish – regardless of whether they get the job.

Top talent scout. Like a monarch butterfly you will flutter your wings at regional career fairs and global health conferences, spreading Living Goods pollen and finding great people for the Talent Acquisition team to cultivate.
