Talent Management Associate at Salute Inc. – Austin, Texas

Shape the future of talent at Salute

At Salute, we don’t have employees — we have team members. Our culture is built on transparency, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence. It’s what enables us to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients across technical, IT, and data centre environments.

We’re now building a new, forward-thinking Talent Management team — and this is your chance to be part of it from the ground up.

If you’re passionate about early careers, leadership development, and creating meaningful career pathways, this is an opportunity to make real impact.

The Opportunity

As a Talent Management Associate, you’ll play a key role in building a future-ready workforce.

This isn’t a traditional recruitment role. You’ll work across the full talent lifecycle — from attracting early-career talent to developing future leaders — helping shape how we grow, engage, and retain our people.

You’ll collaborate closely with business leaders, HR, Talent Acquisition, and People & Culture teams to design and deliver strategies that drive capability, engagement, and long-term success.

• Support workforce planning and future talent pipelines

Workforce & Career Development

Leadership Development & Succession

• Analyse engagement and retention trends
• Contribute to initiatives that enhance employee experience

Employer Brand & Talent Marketing

• Strengthen our employer brand in early-career and technical markets
• Support social media, events, and recruitment campaigns
• Represent Salute at careers fairs and industry events

Continuous Improvement

• Use data and insights to improve talent strategies
• Stay ahead of trends in talent management and early careers
• Support wider People & Culture initiatives

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in Talent Management, ideally in tech, engineering, or infrastructure environments
• Exposure to leadership and talent development, workforce planning
• Experience supporting engagement, retention, or employer branding initiatives
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, global environment
