Talent Acquisition & Branding Associate

Location: Oxford Circus, London (Hybrid)

Companies: Jackson Lombard Group — including Jackson Lombard, JL:Pro, JLB, JL:Talent, Sario Partners, and MachScale

About Us

The Jackson Lombard Group is a collection of high-performing executive search and talent advisory businesses operating across the UK and US. Each firm has its own specialism and entrepreneurial leadership team, united by a shared belief in excellence, ambition, and growth.

As we continue to scale internationally, we are looking for a Talent Acquisition & Branding Associate to drive group-wide recruitment, shape our employer brand, and elevate the people experience across all our companies.

The Opportunity

This is a unique, high-impact position at the intersection of talent acquisition, brand strategy, and culture building. You will lead efforts to attract exceptional people to join our growing group, while championing how we tell our story externally and live our values internally.

Key Responsibilities

• Talent Acquisition (UK & US): Lead and coordinate recruitment across all group companies — building proactive pipelines, managing live hiring needs, and working closely with founders and leaders to align hiring strategy with business growth.
• Employer Branding: Drive content and storytelling across LinkedIn and social media, showcasing our people, culture, achievements, and growth stories.
• Employee Engagement & Welfare: Design and implement initiatives that enhance internal culture, recognition, and wellbeing across our distributed teams.
• HR & People Operations: Support in developing HR processes, onboarding experiences, and career progression frameworks as our group scales.
• Talent Intelligence: Track market trends, talent data, and competitor activity to inform hiring strategy and brand positioning.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is both strategic and hands-on — a natural connector who thrives on people, creativity, and building momentum.

You will likely have:

• 1–3 years of experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, employer branding, or HR.
• A strong understanding of LinkedIn, digital communication, and storytelling.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial approach — comfortable working across multiple businesses.
• Excellent written and visual communication skills.
• An interest in executive search, high-growth companies, or the broader talent industry.

Experience across the UK and/or US markets will be a plus.

What You’ll Gain

• The chance to shape how a fast-growing group of businesses attracts and develops talent.
• Exposure to multiple entrepreneurial companies and leadership teams.
• The opportunity to expand your remit into wider HR and people strategy.
• A collaborative, ambitious environment where new ideas are encouraged and acted on.
