Job description

The Organisation

Levyl is partnering with a scaling Australian financial services organisation to appoint a Talent Partner who will play a key role in supporting the next stage of growth!

The organisation has built a strong position within its market and continues to scale, with ambitious plans to expand its team across Australia. As part of this growth journey, they are investing in their internal Talent capability and looking for someone who can help build a more proactive, scalable and commercially aligned approach to recruitment.

This is an opportunity to join a business where you can genuinely see the impact of your work. You will be close to decision-making, partnering with leaders across the organisation and helping shape how great talent is attracted, engaged and hired.

The Team

Reporting to the Head of People, you will sit at the centre of the organisation’s growth strategy, partnering closely with leaders across Sales and Operations. These teams represent the largest and most commercial areas of the business, making this a highly impactful role where your work will directly influence the organisation’s ability to grow.

You will work with leaders who are commercially driven, energetic and focused on building high-performing teams. This role will require someone who can build trust quickly, understand different personalities and confidently influence outcomes.

You will not just sit alongside the business. You will become embedded within it, understanding what makes people successful and helping leaders attract the talent they need to continue growing.

The Opportunity

As Talent Partner, you will own the hiring engine for the business, with a particular focus on Sales and Operations recruitment. You will be responsible for building always-on talent pipelines, creating exceptional candidate experiences and helping leaders make better hiring decisions. You will also take ownership of managing agency partnerships and helping to build a PSA.

This role involves managing end-to-end recruitment across a range of roles including Sales Associates, Business Development Managers, Account Executives, Team Leaders, Loan Specialists, Underwriters, Credit Operations, Customer Care, Collections and Fraud Operations as well as others across the business as needed.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Owning end-to-end recruitment processes across Sales and Operations, from role briefing through to offer


• Building proactive talent pipelines across key hiring areas rather than relying solely on inbound applications


• Developing creative sourcing strategies through direct sourcing, referrals, networks and early careers channels


• Supporting graduate and early-career hiring initiatives, including campus attraction and talent pipelines


• Partnering closely with hiring managers to understand capability requirements and provide market insight


• Coaching leaders through structured interviews, assessment and decision-making


• Improving recruitment processes, systems and ways of working to create a seamless hiring experience


• Acting as a trusted advisor to leaders, providing challenge and guidance throughout the hiring process


• Managing external agency relationships, including preferred suppliers, recruitment briefs and partner performance


• Helping determine when agency support is required and ensuring external partners are aligned to business needs


• Using recruitment data and insights to track pipeline health, time-to-fill, sourcing effectiveness and opportunities for improvement


• Providing regular visibility of recruitment progress and key metrics to senior leadership

You will also play a key role in ensuring every candidate interaction reflects the organisation positively. As the \"Chief of First Impressions\", you will ensure candidates walk away with a strong view of the business, whether they are hired or not.

About You

Levyl is looking for a Talent Partner who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments and enjoys building something meaningful.

You may come from an internal Talent Acquisition background, agency recruitment environment or a combination of both. What matters most is your ability to understand Sales and Operations talent, build strong stakeholder relationships and deliver exceptional recruitment outcomes.

You will be someone who is comfortable rolling up your sleeves, challenging thinking and finding solutions when there is no perfect playbook.

Most importantly, you will be someone candidates remember for the right reasons! You understand that every interaction shapes how people view the organisation and that great recruitment is about creating a positive experience from first contact through to offer.

The Process

This opportunity is being managed confidentially by Levyl. The interview process will include an initial conversation with Levyl, followed by three meetings with key business stakeholders, and some testing to assess how the team can support you to perform at your best! All interviews will be conducted face-to-face, in the offices.

Levyl encourages diverse, equitable and inclusive recruitment solutions and is committed to responding to every applicant. We make selection and shortlist decisions based on your skills, experience, personal attributes and motivators.
