Talent Manager – 12 month FTC

HRLife are delighted to be supporting a growing business who are undergoing a period of positive change to find a Talent Manager for their UK business for an initial 12 month FTC.

Working in a small team, this is a project related role where you’ll be partnering with stakeholders, understanding their teams and the roles within to really get to grips with what each role does, the responsibilities and duties each role is responsible for to help the business identify, develop, and retain top talent.

You’ll then be tasked with scoping out all functional competencies for every role within the business, so each hiring manager is able to support and enhance career growth and development paths for individuals.

Monitoring external talent trends and competitor analysis, you’ll bring ideas and sector expertise to strengthen existing job descriptions and recommend new ways of writing JD’s to incorporate new functional competencies.

You’ll have an analytical mind, be able to ask the right questions to managers to understand the focus of each role and be able to design and create functional competencies for each position.

Your background will be in the talent space, (you won’t have a background in Talent Acquisition or recruitment for this role). Ideally you’ll have done a similar project previously where you can advise and provide support to managers on which competencies are required moving forward which will help them think and help shape the future of their teams.
