About the Role

Department: Talent Acquisition

Location: London, EC4V 4AY

Hybrid: 3 days in office

The Senior Talent Acquisition Partner is a specialist capability focused on complex, targeted and business critical talent challenges where established recruitment approaches are unlikely to be sufficient. This role would be great for someone who wants to do much more than manage vacancies. Someone who loves the search. Who enjoys getting under the skin of a market, finding brilliant people who aren't necessarily looking, understanding where talent is moving and spotting skills before they become difficult to find.

This Senior Talent Acquisition Partner role combines complex end-to-end recruitment with deeper talent intelligence, market insight, market mapping and proactive talent identification. You will use internal and external data to understand talent availability, identify critical and emerging skills and shape effective talent strategies.

Our business is transforming, modernising and becoming increasingly customer-centric, while building on the expertise that supports hundreds of thousands of customers. Against a growing focus on financial literacy and access to financial advice, attracting the right skills and capabilities has an important role to play in our future.

You'll combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, predominantly supporting our corporate functions, using your understanding of external talent markets to strengthen immediate hiring outcomes while building the talent pipelines and market knowledge we need for the future.

Working alongside the TA Operations squad, you will proactively identify opportunities to collaborate where combining talent intelligence, market expertise and recruitment delivery can improve outcomes. Both have distinct areas of accountability but work together where their combined expertise will create greater value for the business.

• Create compelling candidate experiences through personalised engagement, innovative content and data-driven recruitment journeys.
