You should have:

• Proven experience as a Senior Talent Partner / Senior Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Partner within financial services.
• Strong experience recruiting across Engineering, Technology, AI, Data and/or Product.

• Experience partnering with senior stakeholders and hiring managers.
• Strong understanding of technical talent markets and modern sourcing strategies.
• The ability to operate strategically while still being comfortable owning delivery.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management and influencing skills.
