The Role

We’re looking for a Talent Lead to take full ownership of how we attract, hire, and retain exceptional talent. Joining a lean, fast moving team, you’ll have complete scope to shape our recruitment strategy while partnering on broader People operations.

You won’t just be filling roles - you’ll be shaping the talent infrastructure, driving strategic People initiatives, and acting as the direct talent partner to company leadership.

This is a full-time hybrid role, with at least 3 days a week in our London office.

What You’ll Do

• Manage End-to-End Hiring: Take full ownership of the recruitment lifecycle across all departments, from initial briefing and proactive sourcing to interviewing, offer management, and onboarding.
• Enable Hiring Managers: Work with department leads on structured interviewing and closing top-tier candidates effectively.
• Design Onboarding Workflows: Build structured onboarding plans and welcome initiatives to ensure seamless candidate-to-employee transitions.
• People Operations & HR Compliance: Handle day-to-day HR administration - including contract generation, offer letters, right-to-work checks, ATS/HRIS maintenance - and take ownership of writing and maintaining company HR policies.
• Drive Engagement & Retention: Run employee engagement initiatives, analyze feedback, and partner with leadership to implement actionable cultural improvements.
• Drive Broader People Operations: Partner on core People & Culture projects beyond recruiting, including team talent mapping and managing immigration/visa sponsorship cases.
• Optimize Hiring Systems & AI: Expand on AI workflows to streamline candidate touchpoints, speed up hiring velocity, and elevate our employer brand.

Requirements

Who You Are

• Proven TA Operator: You have a successful track record managing the full recruitment lifecycle in a fast-paced environment, comfortably balancing proactive sourcing with strategic planning.
• Versatile People Partner: You are open to broader HR responsibilities beyond talent acquisition, being able to easily navigate areas like talent mapping, policy creation, visa compliance, and employee engagement strategies.
• Curious: You stay ahead of the curve by exploring modern TA practices, sourcing tools, and AI workflows to continuously optimize workflows.
• Hands On Builder: You thrive when rolling up your sleeves - whether writing contracts and policies, designing onboarding steps, or running end-to-end talent searches from scratch.

Benefits

Financial and Professional Growth

• Direct Ownership: Work directly with leadership to shape culture, hiring practices, and People operations.
• Growth Opportunity: Your growth is based on results and the systems you build, not tenure.
• Training and Development: Cledara provides £500 annually for approved training and development.

Life and Wellness

• Annual Leave: 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays.
• Private Medical: Access to private medical insurance through BUPA.
• Health and Fitness: Access to a corporate ClassPass account, an onsite gym, and free entry to all gyms within the Fora network.

Culture and Environment

• Supportive Environment: We provide the autonomy, and resources you need to build great things.
• Great Tech: Work with top tier hardware and software, including a company provided Apple MacBook.
• Vibrant Office: Our modern workspace is a stone's throw from Spitalfields Market, featuring an onsite gym, rooftop terrace, and a fully stocked kitchen with complimentary fruit, snacks, tea, and coffee.
