Overview

The Talent Community Manager – Life Sciences is a specialist recruiter within the Global Partner Operations Team focused on identifying, assessing, and onboarding high-quality linguistic talent across the CRO, Pharmaceutical, and Pharmacovigilance sectors. Reporting into the Lead Recruiter – Regulatory & Clinical, this role is the primary execution engine for Life Sciences recruitment – responsible for delivering against hiring targets, maintaining pipeline health, and ensuring a consistently high standard of candidate quality within their domain. 

The Talent Community Manager is a recognised domain specialist who works with a high degree of independence on day-to-day recruitment activity. They apply structured assessment frameworks set by the Lead, execute sourcing strategies across specialist channels, and are trusted to make well-reasoned hiring decisions without close supervision. They also act as an internal point of reference for Life Sciences recruitment practice, contributing to process improvement and supporting the development of less experienced colleagues.
