Talent Acquisition Manager (12 month FTC)

Hello, we’re SURI. We're on a mission to radically transform oral care with beautiful everyday essentials designed for life. Championing high performance and future-focussed design, our award-winning sonic toothbrush transforms an uninspiring chore into an enjoyable daily ritual.

• →Review and assess current processes and find areas for improvement
• →Where necessary, design and implement end-to-end recruitment processes: role briefs, structured interview guides, scorecards, offer frameworks
• →Get the most out of the ATS we have, and identify when we need to upgrade
• →Create a best in class candidate experience that reflects the quality of the SURI brand at every touchpoint
• →Establish sourcing strategies for international markets as global hiring ramps up

• Owning end-to-end searches across commercial, marketing, product, finance and operations. There are typically 3–5 open roles simultaneously.
• Work closely with hiring managers to sharpen briefs, challenge assumptions and hold the assessment bar.
• Push back when a hire is moving too fast or the process is cutting corners. Equally, there is a need to push to keep the process fast and efficient; unblocking bottlenecks as soon as they are seen, and keeping the process moving.
• Report on hiring progress, pipeline health and quality metrics to the leadership team.
• Occasional need to work with specialist recruiters on roles; managing comms, expectations & relationships both internally and externally

• In-house or embedded recruitment experience: minimum 2–3 years. (Agency-only backgrounds are unlikely to be the right fit.)
• End-to-end search ownership: you've run a full process from brief to offer, not just sourced or screened.
• Experience working in a consumer, DTC, product or FMCG brand, or a demonstrable understanding of what it takes to hire into one.
• Experience building hiring tools and processes from scratch, not just inheriting them.
• Some exposure to international hiring. 
• A passion for more sustainable living is a real plus!

• You're structured. You believe process produces better outcomes and you can build one.
• You're commercially aware. You understand the business context behind a hire, not just the role spec.
• You're resilient. Early-stage companies are fast, imperfect and sometimes chaotic. That doesn't faze you.
• Low ego. You're here to make SURI's hiring great, not to be seen doing it.
• You're consultative. You'll work with hiring managers to understand their brief and build an ideal candidate profile before you go to market, challenging and problem solving as required throughout the hiring process. 
• You’re collaborative, but not afraid to challenge, or push for answers where needed.
