Executive Talent Acquisition Partner leading complex executive searches across EMEA for Hitachi Energy. Navigating senior - level complexities and delivering exceptional leadership amidst rapid transformation.
About the role
- Talent Acquisition Manager responsible for full-cycle hiring at ARIA, an R&D funding agency. Leading recruitment efforts for operations across various essential functions to meet organizational goals.
Responsibilities
- Full-Cycle Operational Hiring: Lead end-to-end recruitment for ARIA’s essential operational functions, including Finance, Communications, People, Procurement, Policy, and the Executive Office. You aren't just filling seats - every campaign we run, we do so with intention. We are not just looking for exceptional talent, but for diverse, mission orientated, and values driven people.
- Candidate Concierge: Act as an ambassador for ARIA. You will manage complex, (at times) multi-time-zone interview loops for our candidates and hiring managers, ensuring every candidate, regardless of the outcome, feels valued, heard, and receives a first-class experience.
- Playbook & Brand Stewardship: Work with the Head of Talent to refine and professionalise our Recruitment Playbook. You’ll ensure our templates, scorecards, and outreach are consistent, high-quality, and resonate with both the entrepreneurial and public sector ecosystems.
- Employer Branding & Outreach: Help tell the ARIA story. You’ll partner with our Comms team to manage our presence on platforms like LinkedIn and Glassdoor, and help at events to build a community around our mission; using your sourcing skills to build proactive pipelines of talent, driving faster time to hire.
- Strategic Collaboration: Work closely with the Head of Talent, assisting with high-priority executive searches, helping select new tools that complement our talent tech-stack, and navigating the intersection of startup agility and government transparency.
Requirements
- You operate with a high degree of autonomy. We don't micromanage; instead, we trust you to take full accountability for your campaigns, proactively identifying bottlenecks and building solutions before problems escalate.
- You have deep experience managing the end to end recruiting process for a range of corporate or operational roles, up to a senior level.
- You have a strong track record in actively sourcing for hard to fill roles, moving beyond organic applications to hunt for exceptional talent.
- You’re agile and adaptable, thriving in environments where the right way isn't always written down.
- You’re highly organised. We typically run campaign-style recruiting processes that require careful planning, communicating upfront timeframes, and close coordination both internally and externally.
- Being detail-obsessed, you understand that in a high-stakes agency, small details, error-free comms, consistent branding and seamless scheduling - build the credibility that’s needed to hire the best.
- Previous experience in a fast-paced, start-up/scale-up environment.
- Experience recruiting for niche technical or scientific roles, with the willingness and curiosity to help with key hiring processes in and around our opportunity spaces.
- You’re a systems thinker where you don’t just do tasks; you build systems to make everything run smoother. You have a track record of using tech to eliminate friction.
- You understand the UK talent landscape. You can speak the language of R&D and innovation, and you appreciate the nuances of hiring for a high-profile public agency.
