Senior Talent Partner, Editorial
London (3 days per week in the office)
£80,000 base plus bonus
About the business
A media group operating across print and online, with editorial at the center of the business shaping output across both formats.
The role
This is a newly created, standalone position with full ownership of recruitment across the editorial vertical, covering both print and online. You'll work directly with editorial directors and heads of content, taking responsibility for hiring from junior writers through to senior editorial leadership. You'll have autonomy to build your own sourcing approach and process, backed by direct access to senior stakeholders across the business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities
- Manage the end-to-end recruitment process for all print and online editorial roles, from briefing through to offer.
- Build direct sourcing capability across editorial talent pools, reducing reliance on agencies.

What they're looking for
- Proven in-house recruitment experience, ideally within media, publishing or a content-driven business.
- A track record of hiring across editorial or creative functions specifically, spanning both print and digital.
- Confidence operating as the sole recruiter for a vertical, without a wider TA team around you.
- Strong direct sourcing skills and comfort working without heavy agency support.
- Comfortable working closely with senior editorial stakeholders and adapting to a fast-moving newsroom environment.
