Head of Talent

Join our client, a global digital‑experience group operating across gaming, sport and entertainment, as Head of Talent. This role is based in London, and you will lead a high‑performing Talent Acquisition function that can attract top talent quickly and with precision. You will partner with senior leaders to shape a TA strategy aligned to growth, build scalable processes, and elevate the candidate experience as the business expands across markets.

• You will energise and lead the internal TA team with a high‑tempo, high‑performance approach, modelling best practice and hiring with pace and care.
• You will deliver 25+ high‑quality hires per season, and personally own 4+ mission‑critical hires per season with urgency and precision.
• You will partner with the leadership team to shape a TA strategy aligned to growth priorities and market reality.
• You will build and optimise end‑to‑end TA operations to improve speed, visibility, and decision quality; enable managers to hire well.
• You will raise selection standards through data‑driven assessment, structured hiring, and consistent decision making.
• You will review and optimise external search partners, improving terms while maintaining quality.
• You will use technology and proactive market mapping to continually source and pipeline top talent.
• You will attract, assess, and close senior leaders, balancing business impact with cultural fit.
• You will bring differentiators such as proven, game‑changing hires using data‑driven techniques, cultural astuteness, and strong project management; experience in complex global organisations is valued, with iGaming experience helpful but not essential.

In this role you will influence talent strategy across markets, work with a talented team, and help our client define how best to attract and retain top people as they grow. If you thrive in a demanding, fast‑paced environment and care about the art and science of hiring, you will fit right in.
