Talent Acquisition Team Lead

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
• Unlimited learning opportunities: external courses, English lessons, career and leadership development
• Education allowance covering school and kindergarten fees
• 21 working days of annual leave, plus public holidays and fully paid sick, maternity, and paternity leave
• Employee appreciation program: branded gifts, birthday day-offs, celebration budgets for weddings, newborns, and milestones
• “Get to know Team” trips — meet colleagues across our global hubs, along with company-wide offsites that raise the bar
• Employee share scheme — grow with us
• Branded MINI Cooper Countryman company car and private parking
• Free in-house sports clubs, Sanctum Club gym access, and jet skis
• Access to a Corporate doctor
• Exclusive discount program with cafes, gyms, and local services
• Expat tax perks: up to 50% income tax exemption
• Support with the naturalisation process for relocated employees
