As a minimum, you’ll need:

• Senior experience in Customer Success, Account Leadership or Consulting within Talent Acquisition, Employer Brand, HR Tech or people solutions environments
• Proven ability to manage and grow a team and a multi‑client portfolio with strong commercial and scalable results, year on year.
• Deep understanding of employer brand, attraction strategy, talent advisory and early careers
• A track record of driving retention, expansion and sustained profit growth
• Proven capability in customer‑facing roles involving strategic partnership development
• Experience building scalable portfolio strategies and multi‑year commercial plans
• Fluency and confidence applying MEDDPICC or a desire to commit to developing this capability
• Strong relationship‑building skills with the ability to influence senior / executive stakeholders
• Clear commercial judgement and the ability to translate insight into actionable guidance
• Coaching experience with the ability to develop leadership and commercial capability in others

Ideally, you’ll also have:

• Experience in a matrixed organisation or agency environment
• Background designing or improving customer success frameworks or operating models
• Familiarity with AI‑enabled talent solutions or emerging recruitment technologies
• Interest in how automation, AI and data can enhance customer experience, forecasting and operational efficiency
