Job description

Who is Quantium?

Quantium is a world leader in data science and artificial intelligence. Established in Australia in 2002, Quantium is a global team of more than 1,200 people across 14 locations with a unique blend of capabilities across product and consulting services to help businesses unlock value from data and analytics. Quantium partners with the world's largest corporations to forge a better, more intelligent world.

We are all in on AI — embedding it into how we work, how we build, and how we hire. Our People & Culture team plays a critical role in shaping the teams that will define Quantium's next chapter, and this role sits at the heart of that mission.

As Lead TA Partner, Engineering, you will own end-to-end talent acquisition for Quantium's Engineering vertical — one of our most critical and fast-moving capability areas. Partnering closely with the CTO and senior tech leaders, you will act as a true strategic TA partner: bringing market intelligence, process excellence and commercial rigour to every hire. You will also lead a small team of technical recruiters.

We operate within a structured hybrid model — with three set days in the office (Tuesday to Thursday) and the flexibility to work from home on Mondays and Fridays.

How will you make an impact?

This is a role for someone who thrives on the full spectrum of recruitment — from rolling up their sleeves on complex technical searches to shaping hiring strategy with senior leaders. You will own the requisition pipeline across Engineering, managing roles at all levels, and you will be accountable for the quality, pace, and experience of every hire you make.

You will partner directly with the CTO, bringing insight on talent market dynamics, competitor movement, and candidate motivations that inform how Quantium attracts and secures the best technical minds. Beyond individual roles, you will build proactive pipelines for critical and hard-to-fill positions, contribute to employer brand initiatives, and drive continuous improvement in Quantium's recruitment processes and tools.

People leadership is a genuine part of this role. You will manage, coach, and develop a small team of technical recruiters — setting clear expectations, providing regular feedback, and creating the conditions for them to do their best work.

The superpowers you’ll be bringing to the team:

• Seasoned tech recruiter: Deep expertise in end-to-end recruitment across engineering disciplines, with a strong track record in competitive markets
• Strategic TA partner: Proven experience operating as a trusted business partner to senior and executive stakeholders, with the gravitas to influence at C-level
• People leader: Demonstrated ability to manage and develop team members, with clear direction, coaching, and a high-performance mindset
• Sourcing powerhouse: Strong capability in targeted headhunting and proactive pipeline development across technical talent pools
• AI-curious: Familiarity with how AI tools and platforms are reshaping recruitment — and an appetite to use them to work smarter and faster, while never losing sight of the human relationships and judgement at the core of great hiring

Remember – you might not tick all the boxes, but don’t let that from stopping you applying. We're more interested in how you think, how you build relationships, and the grit and curiosity you bring to the work.

What could your Quantium Experience look like?

Working at Quantium will allow you to challenge your imagination. You will get to solve complex problems using rigor, precision and by asking great questions – but it also means you can think big, outside the box and push your problem-solving skills to the max.

By joining the Quantium team, you’ll get to:

• Forge your path: So many of our team have moved around different teams or offices. You’ll be in the driver’s seat, and we empower you to make your career your own.
• Find your kind: Embrace diversity and connect with your tribe (think foodies, dog lovers, readers, or runners).
• Make an impact: Leave your mark. Your contributions resonate, regardless of your role or rank.

But wait, there’s more!

• Flexible work arrangements: Achieve work-life balance at your own pace with our structured hybrid model — three set days in the office (Tuesday to Thursday) and flexibility to work from home on Mondays and Fridays.
• Discounts and perks: Enjoy access to a range of generous discounts from Woolworths, exclusive banking products, health insurance, and novated leasing.
• Health and wellness: Access corporate gym discounts and fuel your fitness with our weekly workout programme and sporting teams.
• Option to work globally: Work in another country for up to 30 calendar days per year — balancing your career with the freedom to work globally. Eligibility criteria apply.
