You’ll lead projects and initiatives that continuously evolve our TA function, spanning technology and transformation, operational excellence, data and insights, governance and process optimisation.
This is an opportunity to challenge how we work today and help shape what comes next. You’ll bring greater visibility to recruitment activity, turn data into meaningful insight and create simpler, smarter and more consistent ways of working, helping us build a world-class Talent Acquisition function that is efficient, innovative and invaluable to the organisation.

- Own our TA reporting and insights, covering hiring progress, requisition ageing, time to hire, pipeline health, interview activity, offers, agency usage, candidate flow and Hiring Manager actions.
- Translate recruitment data into clear insights, risks, recommendations and actions for TA leadership and governance forums.
- Drive ATS and data integrity, improving system adoption, data quality and reporting accuracy.
- Lead continuous improvement and transformation projects, identifying inefficient or inconsistent ways of working and implementing practical solutions.
- Strengthen recruitment processes and governance across requisition approval, candidate management, selection, interviews, offers, right-to-work requirements and onboarding handoffs.
- Coordinate activity across TA Partners, the TA Coordinator, Hiring Managers, HR and other stakeholders, removing operational blockers and ensuring effective handoffs.
- Support recruitment planning for campaigns, high-volume activity, Early Careers and business-critical hiring.
