ABOUT THE ROLE
LION is launching a new, standalone recruitment venture - and we’re looking for a commercially driven Talent Specialist to join us as a Founder & Equity Partner.
This is a rare opportunity to do what you do best; own the commercial growth of a business while leveraging LION’s brand, infrastructure, and client network. This is primarily a relationship, business development-driven, outbound role - you’ll focus on building relationships, winning new business, and driving revenue while we provide the operational backbone, marketing, and support so you can focus on what you do best: growing a high-performance recruitment business.
You’ll be at the forefront of outbound activity, engaging directly with decision-makers across the digital, tech, and commercial sectors, building long-term partnerships that fuel consistent growth. In return, you’ll have a stake in the business and the freedom to shape its strategy and future.
What You'll Do
- Lead proactive outbound business development efforts to identify, engage, and convert new client opportunities.
- Act as a consultative partner to internal teams and external clients on hiring needs
- Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines for niche and high-volume roles.
- Drive and optimise the end-to-end recruitment process, from strategy and sourcing to screening, interviewing, and closing.
- Set up and manage operational recruitment infrastructure, including ATS, reporting, and compliance.
- Collaborate on employer branding and talent marketing strategies.
- Partner cross-functionally to enhance hiring outcomes and continuously improve candidate and stakeholder experience.
What You Bring
- An AI first approach
- 10+ years of full-cycle recruitment, talent acquisition, or people leadership experience
- Proven track record building recruitment capability and delivering across a range of seniority levels and role types
- Strong sourcing skills and deep knowledge of digital recruitment tools, platforms, and outreach strategies
- Ability to deliver on both volume and niche hiring briefs
- Operational mindset with the ability to set up scalable processes and frameworks from scratch
- Entrepreneurial drive and ability to work autonomously while building a new venture
Why Work With Us?
- Equity Stake: This is not just a role - it’s an opportunity to help build a new recruitment venture with support from LION Digital. You’ll have a stake in the business and the freedom to shape its direction.
- Impact: Build something from the ground up while solving real hiring challenges for fast-growing brands and digital businesses
- Ownership: Autonomy to shape processes and influence hiring success
