Senior Talent Technology Consultant

Job Description

The Senior Talent Technology Consultant is a consulting‑led, client‑facing role responsible for advising enterprise clients on talent technology strategy, architecture, and transformation. This role is deliberately design, advisory, and outcomes‑focused, rather than hands‑on system configuration or build.

• Simplify complex technical trade‑offs into clear, business‑oriented recommendations
• Identify high‑value use cases for AI, automation, and agentic capabilities across sourcing, screening, matching, personalisation, and workflow efficiency
• Advise clients on responsible AI adoption, including governance, risk, data readiness, and compliance considerations
• Help shape future‑state visions that leverage emerging capabilities to improve recruiter productivity, candidate experience, and talent outcomes
• Create high‑quality, client‑ready visual artefacts (architecture diagrams, ecosystem and platform maps, data flow and integration diagrams, process maps, and future‑state workflows)
• Use visual storytelling to convey complexity clearly and effectively to executive audiences

• 7+ years of experience in management consulting, talent technology advisory, HR transformation, or related roles
• Demonstrated experience advising enterprise clients on ATS, CRM, and talent technology platforms (e.g., Workday, SAP Success Factors, Eightfold, Phenom, Avature, Smart Recruiters)
