Life at THG Nutrition

THG Nutrition is home to some of the world’s most trusted and best-loved wellbeing and nutrition brands, including Myprotein, the world’s largest online sports nutrition brand, alongside Myvegan, Myvitamins and MP Activewear.

Our brands and people exist to break boundaries — to power and empower those who want more. We move fast, challenge convention, and back ourselves to win. These values shape how we work every day.

About the role

As a Talent Executive, you’ll support recruitment across Myprotein HQ, partnering with hiring managers to understand their teams, the skills they need, and what makes someone successful in each role. Your work will span the full hiring process: shaping briefs, finding and engaging candidates, managing interviews, and helping teams make confident hiring decisions.

Your focus will be on Head Office and commercial vacancies. That means building relationships across different functions, adapting your approach to each search, and developing a strong understanding of the talent market. You’ll report to the Talent Acquisition Manager, who will support your development and help you take increasing ownership of your roles.

As a Talent Aquisition Executive You'll:

• Partner with hiring managers across Myprotein HQ to understand hiring needs and agree clear, realistic role briefs.
• Support and manage recruitment for Head Office and commercial positions, from initial search through to offer.
• Headhunt candidates who might not be actively looking but could be excited by what we’re building.
• Source and screen talent, looking beyond the CV to understand people’s skills, ambition, and potential.
• Build relationships and talent pipelines that put us in a stronger position for the next hire.
• Keep interviews moving, feedback flowing, and candidates and hiring managers in the loop.
• Share insights on the talent market to help teams make smart hiring decisions.
• Use recruitment data to track progress and find ways to make our process better.
• Work closely with the Talent Acquisition Manager on sourcing strategies, hiring priorities, and a candidate experience that feels unmistakably Myprotein.

Skills & Experience:

• At least 12 months’ recruitment experience, gained in an agency or an in-house talent acquisition team.
• Experience supporting recruitment processes and managing relationships with candidates and hiring managers.
• The confidence to ask good questions, understand a brief, and adapt your search when needed.
• A proactive approach to finding talent beyond incoming applications.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several vacancies and deadlines at once.
• Clear, engaging communication and a genuine commitment to giving candidates a great experience.
• Experience hiring into commercial functions would be particularly valuable. Exposure to direct-to-consumer (DTC) businesses, ecommerce, or international hiring is a plus.

What’s in it for me?

• Access bespoke development programmes that have been designed and developed by our in-house L&D team.
• Continued development through our upskilling programme that is delivered in partnership with an industry-leading training provider.

Enhanced Leave

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Don’t want to work on your birthday? We don’t either! Enjoy your day off on us!

• Up to 10 days compassionate leave.
• Buy back up to 3 days each year.
• Access face-to-face and virtual appointments with our in-house GP.
  
• Access our 247 Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which is provided by Bupa.
• State-of-the-art on-site gym.
• Access to our on-site physio.

Other Perks

• Save up to 12% on the cost of personal tech through our salary sacrifice scheme.
• Subsidised bus pass from Manchester City Centre to our ICON office.
• Up to 50% staff discount on THG brands.
• On-site staff shop.
  
• Know someone who would be perfect for THG? Refer them and get up to £1000 when they pass their probation.
