Head of Talent (110492-0625)

You’re a strategic and forward-thinking talent professional with a strong track record of leading modern, inclusive approaches to both talent acquisition and talent development. You have experience designing and delivering impactful talent programmes and initiatives that help individuals and organisations thrive. 

You combine deep expertise in attracting and developing high-quality, diverse talent with a clear understanding of how to align talent strategies with wider organisational goals. You’re passionate about social inclusion and embed this into every stage of the talent lifecycle from recruitment through to progression and retention. 

You’re an engaging and credible leader who can build strong relationships across a complex organisation. You collaborate effectively with senior stakeholders, influence with confidence, and are unafraid to challenge established thinking in pursuit of better outcomes. 

Ideally, you will bring an understanding of the higher education context. If not, you will be open and committed to developing expertise in academic probation, promotion and career framework management to support the needs of academic colleagues and pathways. 

You’ll thrive in a collaborative environment and bring a data-informed, values-led approach to building talent pipelines and strengthening Warwick’s ability to attract, develop, and retain the people it needs now and into the future.
