Talent Acquisition Manager (AI Infrastructure)

Location: London
Type: Permanent
Working: Hybrid
Salary: £90,000 – £140,000
Role Overview
We are recruiting on behalf of a stealth-mode AI infrastructure platform launching next month. Backed by significant investment and working in close partnership with NVIDIA, this platform is being built to deliver AI compute at industrial scale.
This is a build environment.
We are looking for a hands-on Talent Acquisition Manager who is comfortable operating as a headhunter, building pipelines from scratch, and hiring high-calibre engineering talent in competitive markets.
Important
This role is not suited to profiles who rely on inbound applications or process-driven recruitment. You must have direct experience sourcing and hiring engineers through headhunting.

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.
