What the job involves

• IG’s TA team moves fast – and to keep it that way, the engine behind it needs to be just as sharp
• As TA Enablement Lead, you’ll own the infrastructure that keeps TA running smoothly: from supplier relationships and invoices to internal processes and systems
• You’ll also line manage a pool of flexible TA experts – hiring generalists who are deployed across the business based on demand, each bringing deep knowledge of their local market
• You’ll free up TA Business Partners and experts to focus on what they do best – finding and securing great talent – by building the operational backbone that makes that possible
• This is a role for someone who finds inefficiency genuinely frustrating, who sees a broken process and wants to fix it – not just flag it
• You’ll bring a practical understanding of how AI can be applied to make workflows faster and simpler, and you’ll have the organisational rigour and collaborative instincts to make things stick
• You’ll sit within the TA function, reporting directly into the Head of TA
• The team is responsible for hiring across IG Group globally, working closely with HR Business Partners, Finance, and hiring managers across all divisions
• You’ll line manage a pool of TA experts who operate as flexible resource – deployed to business units as hiring demand requires
• They are generalists across IG’s hiring practices and specialists in their respective locations, and you’ll be responsible for their day-to-day management, development, and deployment
• Own the day-to-day operational running of the TA function, ensuring smooth workflow across the team
• Manage all TA-related invoicing and purchase orders, working closely with Finance to ensure accuracy and timely processing
• Maintain and manage relationships with external suppliers, including job boards, assessment providers, and recruitment agencies – holding them to agreed terms and SLAs
• Act as the central point of contact for TA admin, internal queries, and vendor coordination
• Line manage a pool of flexible TA experts, providing day-to-day support, clear direction, and ongoing development
• Manage the deployment of TA experts across the business, matching resource to demand in a way that keeps hiring moving and quality consistent
• Act as the connective tissue between the TA expert pool and the wider TA function – ensuring they’re well briefed, properly supported, and set up to deliver in each business area they’re deployed to
• Support the growth and capability of the pool over time, identifying development needs and creating opportunities to build skills across different business areas and hiring contexts
• Audit existing TA processes end-to-end, identifying friction points and designing simpler, more human-centred alternatives
• Lead implementation of process improvements, ensuring they are practical, well-communicated, and adopted by the team
• Build and maintain clear documentation for all TA processes, keeping them up to date as the function evolves
• Champion a continuous improvement mindset across the team, proactively surfacing opportunities to do things better
• Identify and implement ways to use AI tools to improve team efficiency – from automating repetitive tasks to improving candidate communication workflows
• Act as the TA team’s go-to for operational tech, supporting colleagues in getting the most from existing platforms and evaluating new tools where relevant
• Work with the Head of TA and Head of People Tech teams to ensure TA systems are configured effectively and integrated into wider HR technology infrastructure
• Maintain accurate records of TA spend, supplier contracts, and vendor performance
• Produce regular operational reporting for the Head of TA, flagging issues and recommending corrective actions where needed
• Support compliance with IG’s procurement and vendor management policies
