Lead Talent & Value

Talent Value Senior Lead
Location: London | Global scope across the EU, UK, US, and APAC

Build and scale a new global standard in talent experience

This is a unique opportunity to shape how organizations engage, nurture, and retain talent across borders. Following our international expansion, we are building a next-generation platform and contingent talent pool that helps clients access, engage, and redeploy high-quality talent in a more intelligent, human, and scalable way.

We are looking for a Talent Value Senior Lead who can define and deliver the value we create for talent. Someone who understands candidates, contingent workers, and professional communities, and knows how to turn insights into experiences, engagement, and loyalty. And who can help our clients do the same.

This role combines consulting, end-to-end talent expertise, employer branding, talent marketing, candidate experience, talent community management, and rewards programs. 

Your impact

You will lead the development of a global talent value proposition for our platform and contingent workforce. This will involve understanding what talent needs and values, and designing the onboarding experiences, communications, benefits, rewards, and engagement programs that make the experience unique. 

This is not a traditional employer branding role. You will operate at the intersection of talent strategy, marketing, experience design, community engagement, and product development. Your work will shape how talent experiences us before, during, and after an assignment. 

You will define what sets our talent offering apart, how we communicate it, and how we build trust, loyalty, and repeat engagement across different markets and worker types. You will support advisory services, talent marketing, and assessment and selection.  

Working across Product, Marketing, Operations, Sales, Talent Acquisition, Compliance, and regional teams, you will bring clarity and consistency to how we attract, select, nurture, mobilize, and retain talent globally. You will help ensure that every touchpoint—from onboarding to redeployment—feels connected, useful, and valuable.

This role is key to building a talent pool that grows over time. Not just a database of people, but a dynamic talent ecosystem that becomes stronger with every interaction.

What will you do?

• Lead the development of our global talent value proposition across the platform and our contingent talent pool

• Build a deep understanding of our talent audiences, including candidates, contractors, freelancers, alumni, silver medallists, and high-value specialist communities

• Develop talent marketing strategies that attract, nurture, and engage the right talent communities

• Develop employer branding and talent communication principles that make the platform recognizable, trusted, and distinctive

• Design reward, recognition, and loyalty programs that boost engagement, retention, and redeployment

• Create and translate talent insights into practical improvements to the employee experience, product requirements, and service enhancements

• Work with product teams to define the platform capabilities needed to support talent engagement, personalization, rewards, and community building

• Build feedback loops with candidates and employees to continuously improve the experience

• Support sales and client teams with a clear explanation of why a better talent experience leads to better client outcomes

• Help design assessment and selection strategies 

• Support the talent marketing team in developing employer branding, employee experience, and talent attraction strategies as needed

• Support the advisory and consulting team in their area of expertise 

• Help design AI agents within their area of expertise
