About Sygnature Discovery
At Sygnature Discovery, we create exceptional scientific outcomes. For our customers, who bring life-changing medicines to patients; and for our people, who help make this possible.
We’re 700+ scientists from over 50 countries, working as one across Europe and North America. With no competing internal programs, we offer total confidentiality and commitment.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve earned a track record of real impact: 60+ advanced candidates, 250 patents filed, 200+ active projects. Over 90% of our customers choose to stay with us – from biotechs racing to clinic to pharma companies that need specialised expertise for targeted challenges.
About The Role
The work we do in Talent Acquisition is crucial to ensuring we have the brightest scientists and leaders in place to make great science happen. Working closely with hiring managers and stakeholders, you’ll manage the full recruitment lifecycle and deliver a professional, engaging, and inclusive candidate experience from first contact through to onboarding.
Experience in sourcing, identifying, and attracting candidates is a must. We’re looking for someone who is dynamic and isn’t afraid to think outside the box, has a growth mindset, and enjoys finding creative ways to engage hard-to-find talent. You’ll be proactive, commercially aware, and just as excited by shaping and improving recruitment processes as you are by finding brilliant people.
You’ll act as a trusted and respected recruitment advisor to hiring managers and our Senior Leadership Team, providing advice and guidance across recruitment-related activities. You’ll also work closely with the wider People Team and provide broader support across Learning and Development activities, giving you the opportunity to contribute beyond recruitment.
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.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative and innovative team, where you’ll be given the autonomy and flexibility to help shape how we operate within the Talent Acquisition function. You’ll also help strengthen our employer brand and build talent pipelines that support our future growth.
