Commercial Talent Acquisition Specialist

Preferred Location: Europe or ZA

Reporting to: Global Talent Acquisition Lead

We’re looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to personally lead our most senior, complex and business critical searches while helping the wider Talent Acquisition team deliver at a higher standard.

Your remit will span our Commercial, Operations and Support functions. You’ll own a focused portfolio of priority searches, act as a trusted adviser to senior leaders and provide practical guidance to colleagues navigating challenging hiring requirements.

This is a hands-on player-coach role. Alongside delivering your own hires, you’ll help colleagues strengthen their search strategies, assessment judgement and stakeholder management. You’ll lead through expertise, coaching and influence, with success reflected in both the hires you deliver and the capability you build across the team.
