Job Description

As part of the overall Talent Acquisition team at Checkout.com, the Strategic Hiring practice leads on the majority of hiring processes at Director, Senior Director, VP and C-suite levels - across all functions and many global locations. The Strategic Hiring team is currently looking to recruit a Coordinator who will help deliver an exceptional candidate and hiring manager experience; elevating our project delivery and process management, whilst also ensuring more scalability, data hygiene and consistency in one of the fastest-paced and most demanding areas of our global TA practice.

We are looking for a Coordinator who will demonstrate initiative, operate with trust and discretion and will be comfortable balancing hands-on project and stakeholder management with effective prioritisation and strategic decision-making. The incoming Coordinator will also have scope and opportunity to directly support aspects of the Strategic Hiring process e.g. sourcing, candidate engagement and talent pipelining, rewarding this person’s curiosity and commitment to developing their career outside of day-to-day project management and delivery.
