This role combines hands-on recruitment with day-to-day leadership of a team of Corporate Services and Technology Talent Acquisition Managers. Approximately half of the role holder's time will be spent personally recruiting for IT and technology roles, carrying their own requisition load alongside the team. The other half is dedicated to leading the team: driving executional excellence, building team capability and capacity, and feeding real-time market insights back into the business. The key purpose is to get things done, raising the bar on delivery, and making the team sharper through coaching, accountability, and first-hand market knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

Hands-On Technology Recruitment

• Carry own requisition load for IT and technology roles — spanning areas such as software engineering, data, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and architecture — executing the full recruitment cycle from sourcing through to offer and onboarding.
• Source, engage, and assess technology candidates using direct approaches, referrals, specialist job boards, GitHub, LinkedIn, and professional networks.
• Maintain high-quality pipeline activity and personal hiring metrics at the same standard expected of team members.

Team Leadership & Executional Excellence

• Lead, coach, and hold accountable a team of Corporate Services and Technology TA Managers, ensuring consistent delivery against hiring targets.
• Run daily/weekly operational cadences: pipeline reviews, requisition prioritisation, blocker removal, and activity tracking.
• Set clear expectations for individual and team output, monitor performance closely, and address underperformance quickly and constructively.

Team Capacity Building

• Identify skill gaps across the team and deliver targeted, practical coaching on sourcing techniques, candidate engagement, objection handling, and stakeholder management.
• Build team resilience and cross-coverage so that workload spikes, absences, or attrition do not derail delivery.
• Own capacity planning: balance requisition allocation across the team based on complexity, volume, and individual strengths.

Market Reality & Insights

• Leverage first-hand recruiting activity to provide the team and business stakeholders with current, practical market intelligence on technology talent availability, compensation expectations, and competitor hiring patterns.
• Share market feedback in real time with hiring managers, including realistic timelines, salary benchmarking for technology roles, and candidate expectations around remote working, tech stack, and career progression — to ensure alignment and faster decision-making.

• 5+ years’ experience in Talent Acquisition, with proven people leadership exposure.
• In-house corporate Talent Acquisition or executive search experience, with a clear track record of personally filling roles.

• Proven ability to build and maintain credible relationships with senior stakeholders, including constructively challenging unrealistic briefs and influencing hiring decisions with market evidence.

• Hands-on, delivery-focused mindset: comfortable carrying personal requisitions while leading a team, and willing to step in on difficult searches when needed.
• Fluent English.
