About this role

We are looking for a TA Lead who is genuinely excited by what great hiring looks like — and motivated to build toward it. Reporting to the Director of Talent Acquisition, this role leads the non-tech hiring function across Product, Analytics, Analytics Graduates, Operations and Corporate Functions.

You'll manage and develop a team of Talent Partners, owning their performance, growth, and development in a structured, deliberate way. You'll drive team delivery in a data-informed way, using pipeline, funnel, and output metrics to identify opportunities and make changes that stick.

You'll build and maintain independent relationships with senior leaders across the business, including the Executive Leadership Team. As part of the wider TA leadership, you'll contribute to how the function develops as a whole, sharing what works and identifying opportunities to improve collectively.

You'll carry a personal req load when needed, particularly for complex or high-priority roles. You'll also drive our AI and automation agenda within TA, identifying where we can go faster, reduce effort, and improve the experience for hiring managers and candidates.

You'll partner with the wider TA function and People Team, keeping the team's work connected to the broader people agenda. This is an opportunity to make an outsized impact at a bank that redefines what it feels like to work in finance.
