Talent Acquisition Team Lead
First seen by Alion on Oct 5, 2026.
Why this role matters
This is a player-coach role for someone who wants both sides of the job. You will lead a team of CY based TA professionals and personally close the searches that matter most: senior, niche and critical roles across global markets. You will set the bar for how we hire.
What you'll actually do
Lead the team
Coach recruiters in sourcing, assessment, stakeholder management and problem solving
Set priorities and delivery standards - allocate and rebalance vacancies by business priority, capacity and expertise
Catch pipeline and workload risks early and step into complex searches yourself
Own the hardest searches
Run senior, niche and business-critical hiring end to end, from intake to accepted offer
Headhunt passive talent across markets and build pipelines for the roles the business will need next
Advise the business
Be a trusted TA partner to hiring managers and senior leaders: sharp intakes, calibration and clear, evidence-based recommendations
Bring market intelligence on talent availability, compensation and competitor moves, and challenge requirements when the data says so
Develop recruitment strategies to support launching the new offices in the new markets
Drive with data and projects
Own team metrics and turn bottlenecks into actions
Join cross-team projects on process improvement and automation, including AI
Shape our Employer Brand with the EB team through content, events and positioning in key talent markets
Why you'll grow fast here
Fintech compresses years into months - You'll hire across trading, engineering, product, risk and compliance side by side and learn how each part of a global fintech actually works
International scale - Multi-market hiring across the globe builds a profile few TA leaders have
Real influence - Your data and market insight support workforce decisions, directly delivered to C-level
Room to build - You get a modern stack of technologies, tools, platforms and a mandate to automate and redesign how we hire
Who we're looking for
6+ years of hands-on TA in an international, fast-paced environment
Multi-function and multi-market experience is a must
Proven experience leading or coaching recruiters while staying in delivery
A true headhunter, with a track record of closing senior, niche and hard-to-fill roles
Data-driven: you read a funnel, find the bottleneck and fix it
A confident advisor who can push back on senior stakeholders with evidence
What we offer along the way
Competitive salary and annual performance bonus
Full relocation support for you and your family - flights, housing, visas, and legal assistance included
Top-tier health insurance with full family coverage - medical, dental, vision, mental health - plus life insurance for peace of mind
