The Role
Our Talent Acquisition team is growing! We’re looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Manager to join our team in London.
In this role you will act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on hiring, own our most complex and senior searches from intake through offer and acceptance, and lead improvements that help the whole TA team hire faster and rely less on agencies. This is a senior individual contributor role, working as a peer to our TA Managers.
Key Responsibilities
Own senior, confidential and particularly complex searches personally, from intake through offer and acceptance, sourcing directly and building the pipeline yourself
Translate the approved hiring plan into a delivery plan for your portfolio, advising the Head of TA on capacity, trade-offs and risks, and recommending agency or tool use where it is needed
Partner with senior business leaders as a trusted advisor on hiring strategy, talent availability, market conditions and compensation, challenging requirements when the evidence supports a change
Bring market insight and talent data into conversations with hiring managers, and turn business goals into hiring plans and targets
Coach hiring managers beyond process compliance, helping them spot gaps, bias and blind spots and make fair, consistent, evidence-based decisions
Improve intake quality, structured assessment, interviewer preparation and candidate communication, and take ownership of the improvement projects agreed with the Head of TA
Lead reviews of your searches, and facilitate wider reviews when agreed with the Head of TA, to spot stalled searches, weak pipelines and decision delays
Strengthen candidate experience, turn candidate feedback into improvements and support employer brand activity where agreed
Share search expertise, mentor peers and support the TA Specialist on complex briefs, leading through expertise and influence rather than line authority
Keep Ashby data reliable, report delivery forecasts, funnel conversion, offer outcomes, quality of hire and risks, and build on our AI-led recruitment tools with people making every hiring decision
About You

Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to turn business goals into hiring plans and targets
Excellent assessment skills and a good eye for potential, with a commitment to inclusive, structured hiring
Confident using recruitment data and market insight to diagnose problems, forecast delivery and check whether changes are working, with familiarity with ATS platforms and recruitment tools (Ashby is a plus)
Sound judgement with confidential information, experience negotiating offers and strong organisation across several live searches

You thrive when working as part of a team
Comfortable in a fast-paced environment
Last but not least, you’ll have no ego!
