Talent Acquisition Manager – Build & Shape Our Global Talent Function
Salary: £40,000–£45,000 DOE
Location: UK Remote
Ready to make a recruitment function your own?
We have a fantastic recruitment team, a brilliant Team Lead and a growing global business.
Now we’re looking for someone awesome to come in, take the reins and help us build the next stage of our Talent Acquisition function.
This isn’t a role where you’ll inherit a finished recruitment machine and simply keep it running.
We want you to help us build it.
You’ll work closely with our CPO to look at everything we do across recruitment - what’s working, what could be better and what we should completely rethink.
Processes. Candidate journey. Automation. Sourcing. Data. ATS. Hiring Manager experience. Employer brand. Recruiter development.
If there’s a better way of doing it, we want you to find it and make it happen.
And yes - this is still very much a hands-on recruitment role. We want a manager who is happy to jump into a difficult search, speak to candidates, source great people and lead from the front.
You might be an experienced Recruitment Manager who loves being close to the action, or you could be a brilliant Senior Recruiter/Team Lead who is ready to take that next step and build something of your own.
Either way, we’re looking for someone with ideas, energy and the drive to create a Talent Acquisition function we can be genuinely proud of.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re deliberately keeping this fairly open.
You could be:
A seasoned Senior Recruiter or Recruitment Team Lead who is ready to step up, take ownership of a function and prove what you can do.
OR
An experienced Recruitment Manager who loves leading people but doesn't want to spend their life in meetings and spreadsheets – you still enjoy recruiting and getting stuck in.
What matters most is that you:
- Have strong end-to-end recruitment experience.
- Have recruited within technology, software, BPO or similarly fast-paced environments.
- Know how to source and engage passive candidates.
- Are comfortable recruiting technical, niche and high-volume roles.
- Have experience coaching, mentoring or managing recruiters.
- Are genuinely hands-on and happy to recruit yourself.
- Love improving processes and finding smarter ways of working.
- Can a act as a mentor and coach to our Recruitment Team Lead.
- Are interested in automation, AI and how technology can improve recruitment.
- Understand recruitment data, funnels and KPIs and know how to turn numbers into action.
- Can build strong relationships with Hiring Managers while also being confident enough to challenge them.
- Have lots of ideas - and, importantly, the drive to actually implement them.
- Are organised, commercial and comfortable working in a business where priorities can move quickly.
- Have excellent written and spoken English.
Most importantly, we want someone who looks at a recruitment function and thinks:
“I know how I can make this even better.”
What We Offer
- The opportunity to genuinely shape and own a global recruitment function.
- Direct partnership with our CPO and exposure to senior leaders across the business.
- The freedom to introduce new ideas, processes, technology and ways of working.
- A great existing recruitment team to build on.
- A role that combines leadership, strategy and hands-on recruitment.
- UK remote working.
- Clear career development opportunities as the business grows.
- Additional holiday days the longer you’re with Flat Rock.
- Meaningful work within a growing international technology business.
- A friendly, ambitious team where you can make a visible difference.
