Talent Acquisition Delivery Manager Birmingham (Hybrid) £60,000-£65,000
We're partnering with a leading UK consumer services organisation as they continue to strengthen and develop their Talent function. They're now looking to appoint a Talent Acquisition Delivery Manager to lead a team of recruiters, partnering with stakeholders across the business to deliver high-quality talent solutions and support future growth.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Talent Acquisition professional who enjoys building high-performing teams, partnering with stakeholders and influencing hiring strategy. With a focus on leadership, capability and talent delivery, the role is far less centred on day-to-day recruitment activity and more focused on driving performance through others.
The Role
You'll work closely with business leaders, hiring managers and HR colleagues to understand current and future talent needs, ensuring the Talent function is equipped to deliver against organisational priorities. Leading a team of recruiters, you'll provide guidance, direction and support while continuously improving processes, stakeholder engagement and hiring outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
