Talent Acquisition Team Lead
Cyprus
Why this role matters
This is a player-coach role for someone who wants both sides of the job. You will lead a team of CY based TA professionals and personally close the searches that matter most: senior, niche and critical roles across global markets. You will set the bar for how we hire.
What you'll actually do
Lead the team
- Coach recruiters in sourcing, assessment, stakeholder management and problem solving
- Set priorities and delivery standards - allocate and rebalance vacancies by business priority, capacity and expertise
- Catch pipeline and workload risks early and step into complex searches yourself
Own the hardest searches
- Run senior, niche and business-critical hiring end to end, from intake to accepted offer
- Headhunt passive talent across markets and build pipelines for the roles the business will need next
Advise the business
- Be a trusted TA partner to hiring managers and senior leaders: sharp intakes, calibration and clear, evidence-based recommendations
- Bring market intelligence on talent availability, compensation and competitor moves, and challenge requirements when the data says so
- Develop recruitment strategies to support launching the new offices in the new markets
Drive with data and projects
- Own team metrics and turn bottlenecks into actions
- Join cross-team projects on process improvement and automation, including AI
- Shape our Employer Brand with the EB team through content, events and positioning in key talent markets
Why you'll grow fast here
- Fintech compresses years into months - You'll hire across trading, engineering, product, risk and compliance side by side and learn how each part of a global fintech actually works
- International scale - Multi-market hiring across the globe builds a profile few TA leaders have
- Real influence - Your data and market insight support workforce decisions, directly delivered to C-level
- Room to build - You get a modern stack of technologies, tools, platforms and a mandate to automate and redesign how we hire
Who we’re looking for
- 6+ years of hands-on TA in an international, fast-paced environment
- Multi-function and multi-market experience is a must
- Proven experience leading or coaching recruiters while staying in delivery
- A true headhunter, with a track record of closing senior, niche and hard-to-fill roles
- Data-driven: you read a funnel, find the bottleneck and fix it
- A confident advisor who can push back on senior stakeholders with evidence
What we offer along the way
- Competitive salary and annual performance bonus
- Full relocation support for you and your family — flights, housing, visas, and legal assistance included
- Top-tier health insurance with full family coverage — medical, dental, vision, mental health — plus life insurance for peace of mind
- Unlimited learning opportunities: external courses, English lessons, career and leadership development
- Education allowance covering school and kindergarten fees
- 21 working days of annual leave, plus public holidays and fully paid sick, maternity, and paternity leave
- Employee appreciation program: branded gifts, celebration budgets for weddings, newborns, and milestones
- “Get to know Team” trips — meet colleagues across our global hubs, along with company-wide offsites that raise the bar
- Employee share scheme — grow with us
- Branded MINI Cooper Countryman company car and private parking
- Free in-house sports clubs, Sanctum Club gym access, and jet skis
