* Building strong, collaborative relationships with senior stakeholders and agency partners
* Mentoring an administrator and managing elements of the graduate programme
* Acting as a process guardian—ensuring adherence to clearly defined workflows and documentation protocols
Requirements:

* A natural relationship builder who can confidently liaise with senior stakeholders and external partners
* Excellent attention to detail with strong organisational and process management skills
* A commercial mindset with solid knowledge of employment law and best practice hiring standards
* Highly proficient in Excel; experience using HR systems (e.g. PeopleXD, DocuSign) is an advantage
* A calm, credible communicator who understands nuance and takes ownership with confidence
