The Opportunity:
We have two exciting opportunities available - one full-time, permanent position and one full-time, fixed-term position.
In these roles, you’ll thrive on building authentic connections, engaging confidently with a diverse range of people, and proudly representing our brand with integrity and respect.

You will identify and engage potential candidates using diverse methods, including LinkedIn, talent databases, networks, and talent pools. Additionally, you will plan and evaluate participation in job fairs and recruitment events to enhance our employer brand and identify top talent. Your role will involve advising hiring managers and recruitment panels on strategies, planning, and compliance requirements, while overseeing end-to-end recruitment processes, including job advertising, application screening, interview coordination, and offer management.
