We compete for the best talents with multinational organizations, renowned listed internet firms and start-ups, so you should be inventive and creative in your approach to TA.

At GroupM, our people are our strength, which is why fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion is important to us.

**3 best things about the job**:

- You will be at the heart of strategically leading Talent within one of the largest media agency groups in Australia.
- Work in a fun and fast-paced industry at the heart of digital, data analytics, content, and technology where we value new ideas and thinking to bring in the next wave of best talent for our business.
- Lead as a trusted advisor with a future view of the workplace plan and be at the forefront of succession requirements in a constantly changing environment.

Reporting into the Head of Talent Acquisition, the Talent Acquisition Lead is critical in providing expert strategy planning, support, and delivery to GroupM’s agency portfolio and being a key member of the APAC TA Cluster. The position requires an experienced recruitment professional adept at managing stakeholders’ expectations whilst rallying the team to deliver to consistent high volumes.

**A little more about you**:

- You have a passion and flair for always seeking to connect great people with great opportunities. You are a doer and when the going gets tough, you get going. You are proactive and act fast, seeing delivery through to the end. You value building long lasting trusting relationships through consistent delivery and your consultative approach. You have ideas and you are open to sharing them to improve service delivery for everyone’s benefit. Most importantly, you are a team player.

**What your role looks like at GroupM**:

- Strong experience in providing insights, analytics, and reporting providing talent trends across AUNZ in partnership with our Heads of People & Culture and Head of Talent Acquisition.
- In consultation with Senior Leadership Team, create and a deliver a Talent Acquisition plan that shows in depth understanding of their needs, wants, expectations, and idiosyncrasies. Create effective and proactive solutions including creation of talent pipelines and succession planning for hard to fill roles, having a direct impact on lowering attrition and increasing retention of new hires.
- Identify, develop, and execute effective, strategic hiring plans for critical, complex roles that have enterprise-wide impact. Challenge the brief: find a passion within the agencies to move away from ‘traditional’ competitors as the only source of talent and provide methods of finding alternative talent.
- Research and implement new ways of working, processes, and technologies to build the talent pipeline across each agency encouraging a proactive approach to recruitment. Create end to end talent and workforce strategies for the incubation, development, and integration of new business.
- Guide leaders to take greater accountability for engaging talent, ensuring a focus on DEI within talent practices. Educating, leading, and coaching hiring leaders on how to leverage diverse talent.
- Keep abreast of market, industry, and talent trends which are relevant to recruitment and share knowledge and findings throughout the team.
- Identify and maintain competitive intelligence on key industry talent, building a talent ‘database’ to ensure we can quickly approach top talent ahead of our growth needs.
- Ability to work in a high volume, needs driven environment while providing support to your peers.
- Ensure that our recruitment CRM (Jobvite) is kept up to date with relevant top-tier talent and you are an active contributor to ensuring they are targeted with content.
- Consistently demonstrating high value of client service to ensure that the Talent team is seen as a trusted and valued partner within the organisation.

**What You’ll Bring**:

- Extensive experience working as a senior talent consultant within an in-house talent acquisition/recruitment function.
- Ideally a track record of dealing with high volume of roles.
- Ability to multi-task, prioritize, and deal with ambiguity in a highly complex matrix structure.
- Highly solutions-driven, adaptable, possessing a strong growth mindset.
- Proven senior stakeholder management experience.
