OtherTalent Lead

Our clients operate at the frontiers of innovation - we advise technology companies driving change, global investors funding the future, the giants of sport and entertainment, and influential individuals on the communications and policy challenges that define their reputations. Our work spans corporate and financial communications, policy and public affairs to engage regulators and policymakers, policy communications and leadership communications. We underpin the full breadth of our capabilities with research-driven insights and campaigns. We're also pioneering AI-enhanced advisory work for both our clients and internal innovation, using technology to unlock insights from data at unprecedented scale and speed.

This is a hands-on recruiting role, driving recruitment efforts across our European business, based in London and also supporting our growth in Brussels. You'll be responsible for ensuring we hire brilliant talent in real time and getting ahead of future needs, across a growing range of disciplines for our technology-centric client base including corporate communications, policy and public affairs, research, and operational support. You'll report to the Global Head of Talent and manage a Senior Talent Assistant, both of whom sit in the UK, as well as forming strong working relationships across the global People & Talent team.

This is a role for someone who wants to be an expert recruiter in a high-performing, scaling, intellectually demanding professional services environment. You're motivated by the opportunity of managing a recruiting engine that drives quality and growth for our European business, able to sit with leaders and advise them on the right direction to take, will draw on your prior experience recruiting in the corporate comms and/or public affairs market in London and are excited to stretch into shaping high quality processes and reporting.

Ideally, you’re already using LLMs to enhance and support your work and will bring an experimental mindset to how recruitment-tech tools and automation can be additive. You are excited at the prospect of joining an agency that has placed a huge bet on how AI is going to transform the advisory world of comms, policy and research.
