Build talent maps and pipelines for current and upcoming hiring needs. Run structured and efficient recruitment processes from initial briefing through to offer and close. Keep hiring managers close to the market, providing insight on candidate availability, compensation, competition and potential risks to delivery. Drive hiring processes forward, maintaining momentum and challenging stakeholders constructively where needed. Deliver a high-quality candidate experience throughout the process. Maintain accurate ATS data and provide clear visibility of pipeline health, hiring progress and blockers. Identify opportunities to improve recruitment processes, interview structure and ways of working as you embed with the client.

Proven experience delivering senior and leadership-level searches, ideally including Head of and Director-level marketing hires.

A strong track record of proactively sourcing and headhunting candidates in competitive markets. Confidence engaging senior-level candidates and representing the business credibly throughout a leadership search. Confidence partnering with senior marketing leaders and challenging hiring managers when needed. Strong ownership mentality. You don’t wait for hiring to happen, you drive it forward. The ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously without compromising on quality or candidate experience. Strong commercial understanding and the ability to quickly understand different products, markets and customer profiles. Strong ATS discipline and confidence using recruitment data to manage your workload and communicate progress. Experience with Greenhouse or similar ATS platforms is useful, but not essential. Comfortable working in a hybrid environment and spending time with the client team in their London office. Working with Ryzon Ryzon provides embedded talent teams to ambitious technology businesses. Rather than operating like a traditional recruitment agency, we work inside our clients’ businesses as an extension of their team. That means getting close to the people you’re hiring for, understanding the business properly and taking genuine ownership of delivering the people they need to grow. You’ll be embedded day-to-day with the client, while also being part of the Ryzon team and having access to the support, tools and experience of the wider business.
