  • Ensure compliance with established governance frameworks and reporting standards.
  • Provide data-driven insights to inform decision-making and help measure TA performance.
  • Create and deliver engaging communications that drive adoption and behavioural change.
Technology Enablement and Change Management
  • Support the rollout, optimisation, and adoption of TA technologies such as Workday ATS and LinkedIn Recruiter & Insights.
  • Facilitate and deliver training, ensuring smooth integration with broader HR systems.
  • Support the rollout of new processes, tools, and operating models across multiple countries.
Stakeholder Engagement and Vendor Management
  • Work closely with TA teams, HR Business Partners, and external partners across jurisdictions to support effective project delivery including managing ad-hoc niche / confidential recruitment when needed.
  • Monitoring agency usage and assisting in managing relationships with third-party vendors including assessing service delivery and ensuring compliance with SLAs and governance requirements.
Person Specification
  • Strong understanding of recruitment processes and TA technology platforms.
  • Experience in coordinating or delivering projects within Talent Acquisition or HR.
  • Exceptional organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple global priorities.
  • Analytical mindset with experience producing insights from data and reporting.
  • Strong communication, influencing, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable working in a role which will face ambiguity at times.
  • Familiarity with Workday ATS and LinkedIn Recruiter tools.
