About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Talent Partner with deep expertise in Finance and Legal recruitment to lead end-to-end hiring for these critical functions. You’ll be a strategic partner to senior leaders (CFO, General Counsel and adjacent stakeholders), owning hiring plans, market mapping and delivery across senior and specialist roles.

This is a hands-on role - you will personally run high-impact searches, influence hiring decisions with data and market insight and help build a world-class hiring bar for Corporate functions, specifically Finance and Legal teams.

What you'll be doing

• Own hiring delivery for Finance and Legal functions (e.g. FP&A, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Legal Counsel, Commercial, Corporate).
• Run full-cycle recruiting from intake, calibration, sourcing strategy, assessment design, interview process, offer management and closing.
• Partner closely with the CFO and GC organisations to translate business priorities into hiring roadmaps.
• Bring market intelligence on talent - including compensation trends, competitor mapping and realistic time-to-fill expectations
• Develop pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill profiles across Finance and Legal.
• Create and maintain talent maps for priority areas across Finance and Legal
• Selectively manage external partners (exec search or specialist agencies) with clear briefs, scorecards and performance expectations
• Improve structured interviewing and selection quality (clear competencies, calibrated scorecards, consistent debriefs).
• Ensure an exceptional candidate experience - timely, transparent and high-touch where needed.

About you 

• 8+ years of recruiting experience, with substantial depth in Finance and Legal hiring (in-house and/or agency).
• Proven track record recruiting across a range of seniorities, including senior specialist and leadership roles.
• Strong stakeholder management with the ability able to influence and challenge senior leaders constructively.
• Demonstrated sourcing capability (market mapping, outreach strategy, talent research) and comfort operating in competitive markets.
• High bar for quality and process where structured interviewing, evidence-based decisioning and strong candidate experience are paramount
• Executive search or top-tier search firm experience (or equivalent high-calibre retained search environment), particularly for Finance and/or Legal leadership roles.
• Experience recruiting in high-growth tech, infrastructure, fintech, or regulated environments.
• Familiarity hiring across UK/EU and navigating location, compliance, and compensation complexity.
• Comfort partnering on compensation/leveling discussions and advising on market benchmarks.
