Company Overview
EC Markets is a global financial services provider offering innovative trading solutions to institutional and retail clients. With a strong focus on people, growth, and client-centricity, EC Markets operates in a dynamic and fast-paced environment where building and sustaining workforce capability is critical to business success.
Role Purpose
The Talent Manager will act as a strategic partner to business leaders, with a core focus on workforce acceleration, talent management, and performance management. This role is responsible for stimulating workforce capacity — ensuring the organisation has the right people, in the right roles, with the right capabilities and motivation, to meet current and future business needs. Unlike purely operational HR roles, this position emphasises workforce acceleration, talent strategy, performance frameworks, and the ongoing development of organisational capacity.
Key Responsibilities
Workforce Acceleration
- Speed up time-to-productivity for new hires through structured onboarding and ramp-up plans
- Identify bottlenecks slowing resourcing, hiring, or team scaling, and drive fixes
- Partner with managers to fast-track resourcing decisions, restructures, and role changes as business needs shift
- Champion agile, fast-cycle workforce practices that let teams scale up or reshape quickly
