Established in Australia in 2002, Quantium is a global team of more than 1,200 people across 14 locations with a unique blend of capabilities across product and consulting services to help businesses unlock value from data and analytics. Quantium partners with the world's largest corporations to forge a better, more intelligent world. We are all in on AI — embedding it into how we work, how we build, and how we hire. Our People & Culture team plays a critical role in shaping the teams that will define Quantium's next chapter, and this role sits at the heart of that mission. As Lead TA Partner, Engineering, you will own end-to-end talent acquisition for Quantium's Engineering vertical — one of our most critical and fast-moving capability areas. Partnering closely with the CTO and senior tech leaders, you will act as a true strategic TA partner: bringing market intelligence, process excellence and commercial rigour to every hire. You will also lead a small team of technical recruiters. We operate within a structured hybrid model — with three set days in the office (Tuesday to Thursday) and the flexibility to work from home on Mondays and Fridays. How will you make an impact? This is a role for someone who thrives on the full spectrum of recruitment — from rolling up their sleeves on complex technical searches to shaping hiring strategy with senior leaders. You will own the requisition pipeline across Engineering, managing roles at all levels, and you will be accountable for the quality, pace, and experience of every hire you make. You will partner directly with the CTO, bringing insight on talent market dynamics, competitor movement, and candidate motivations that inform how Quantium attracts and secures the best technical minds. Beyond individual roles, you will build proactive pipelines for critical and hard-to-fill positions, contribute to employer brand initiatives, and drive continuous improvement in Quantium's recruitment processes and tools. People leadership is a genuine part of this role. You will manage, coach, and develop a small team of technical recruiters — setting clear expectations, providing regular feedback, and creating the conditions for them to do their best work.
