You will have the autonomy to manage your work, supported by a collaborative Talent Acquisition team and the broader People & Culture team.

 

In this role, you will:

 

  • Lead end-to-end recruitment across professional, operational, enabling support functions and Corporate roles

You will bring:

 

  • Experience managing professional and/or high-volume recruitment from initial briefing through to onboarding
  • Strong stakeholder management skills across senior, operational and geographically dispersed groups
  • Proven capability in proactive sourcing, candidate engagement and talent pipeline development
  • Sound judgement across assessment, selection, remuneration recommendations and offer negotiation
