About Brandon Manley

I’m at my best when solving problems. Improving processes, streamlining workflows, and automating tasks are what keep me engaged and focused day after day.I approach business operations analytically. Whether navigating a large enterprise with complex layers or building infrastructure for a smaller organization, I rely on data to guide decisions and set priorities.Over my career, I’ve led large-scale implementations—launching new business units, deploying technology solutions, and standardizing interviewing practices, often more than once. Success in these efforts comes down to precise planning, disciplined execution, and having the right team in place.I’m an experienced interviewer, team builder, and developer of talent. In every role I’ve held—sales, HR, or recruiting—the outcome has always depended on the people around me. I’ve had the privilege of leading high-performing teams, and that starts with selecting the right talent. Nothing happens without the team.Today, I oversee talent acquisition across the eastern U.S, leading a team responsible for recruiting top talent and facilitating bi-annual talent reviews for retail leadership across the region.
