We are seeking a strategically minded Talent Acquisition Manager to manage and coach a small team of TA Partners and Coordinators.

The role will lead on recruiting for Senior level roles in the Commercial and Corporate Functions areas, whilst also leading on various projects.

Reporting into the Head of Talent Acquisition GB, you will:

• Lead and develop a small, high-performing team of TA Partners and Coordinators; setting clear goals, providing coaching and development, and driving change with a strong focus on delivering an outstanding experience for both candidates and hiring managers.
• Own Commercial & Corporate Functions TA reporting, delivering insights and performance metrics to senior stakeholders across the business.
• Oversee and execute strategic projects focused on continuous improvement, employer branding, and enhancing both employee and candidate experience.
