We are seeking a talented and experienced Talent Acquisition Partner to join our new hub in Leeds. You will be our first Talent Acquisition Partner based in Leeds, primarily responsible for driving the recruitment of exceptional talent across our Go To Market (GTM) functions. At times the role may require supporting the recruitment for our General & Administrative (G&A) functions too. This role requires a strong understanding of the GTM talent market, and the ability to build strong relationships with both candidates and hiring managers. You will also have the opportunity to support the wider Talent Acquisition team with hiring across other global locations. We operate a hybrid work model, and this role will be based in our brand-new Leeds office for three days a week. You'll enjoy the best of both worlds: flexibility and the chance to collaborate in a brand new office environment with other GeeCees.

• Employer Branding & Outreach: Represent GoCardless within the North of England professional community, building relationships with potential candidates and promoting our employer value proposition through networking, meetups, and other initiatives.
• Stakeholder Management: Partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to understand their talent needs, provide market insights, and ensure a seamless and positive candidate experience.
• Local Market Expertise: Leverage your deep understanding of the local talent market, including compensation benchmarks, competitor activity, and emerging trends, to inform recruitment strategies.
• Process Improvement: Contribute to the refinement of our recruitment processes and tools, ensuring efficiency, fairness, and a focus on candidate experience.
• Data-Driven Approach: Track and analyse key recruitment metrics to identify areas for improvement and measure the effectiveness of your talent acquisition strategies.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the wider global Talent Acquisition team, sharing best practices and contributing to global talent initiatives.
