• Championing inclusive attraction strategies and a best-in-class candidate experience
• Continuously innovating attraction approaches based on market insight

Initially you'll oversee performance of external attraction partners, with a clear opportunity over time to help build out in-house attraction capability - a genuine chance to shape the function's future direction.

What they are looking for:

• Proven experience in talent attraction, employer branding or recruitment marketing
• Experience managing recruitment marketing or attraction agencies
• Strong understanding of digital attraction channels and campaign optimisation
• Confidence using recruitment analytics to improve outcomes
