The Premier League’s People team is looking to appoint a Talent Acquisition Executive to support us in coordinating and driving forward our work to attract the best talent across Premier League Studios.
In this role you will work closely with the Senior Talent Acquisition Manager and People team colleagues to provide operational recruitment support to departments across Premier League Studios. You will provide support across the end-to-end recruitment process - from advert creation and planning attraction strategies; to coordinating interviews and assessments; and ensuring candidates have a positive experience at all stages of the recruitment process.
The right candidate will enjoy being able to manage lots of different types of job roles and be able to collaborate with multiple stakeholders. Experience working within a production or broadcast environment would be preferrable, however, not essential. You will be an ambassador for the Premier League and help us to continue to build a diverse and talented workforce.
