Talent Acquisition Manager

About Us

At Sportsbet, we're united behind our purpose to "Bring Excitement to Life" for our 2 million customers (and growing). We do this by over-delivering through our commitment to fun, challenging the status quo and living our values. As part of the Flutter Group, we're a global player, but in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin we're a tight knit group of 1,300 teammates (of which over half are in our Tech and Data Science teams).

We are a significant contributor to the Australian economy through racing and sporting codes and we are committed to having a positive impact in society by supporting our customers, our communities and our employees. Our commitment to responsible gambling is genuine and demonstrated through the wide range of responsible gambling initiatives and tools.

In 2023, we were a recipient of LinkedIn's Top 25 Companies for our focus on career development and awarded the Top 10 Workplaces for Women through Work180. Our commitment to making Sportsbet the best place to work is never-ending.

About The Role

Reporting to the Head of Talent, you will be responsible for leading a team of Talent Acquisition professionals who recruit end-to-end and bring various experience to their roles. Day to day this will include allocation of work, resource management, streamlining processes, solutioning for queries raised and leadership of the team.

Given your deep experience in the talent acquisition space, you will be involved in managing the recruitment of more senior roles in the organisation through various sourcing means and fostering relationships with senior stakeholders to facilitate this.

A further core responsibility of the role will be to manage aspects associated with the commercials of the team including components of the budget. Coupled with this, there will be a requirement to manage all aspects of reporting in the Talent Acquisition space including the evolution of metrics and analysis of key data to derive insights to inform future decisions and ways of working. You will lead on the ongoing evolution of the Talent Acquisition service offering, the maturity of capability to meet this and solutioning of team operating model aspects to meet business requirements.

A final key pillar of focus will be to actively contribute to the strategic direction of the Talent & Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) space as well as operating as a thought leader in relation to strategy in the Talent Acquisition space specifically.
