Full job description

Purpose:

The Group Talent Acquisition CoE Lead is accountable for designing, governing, and elevating Uniphar’s enterprise-wide Talent Acquisition (TA) operating model. The role builds scalable strategy, world‑class processes, data‑led capabilities, and a unified TA ecosystem that enhances hiring effectiveness across global regions and divisions. It aligns TA with enterprise workforce planning, external market dynamics, and employer brand priorities. Ultimately, the COE Lead turns TA into a competitive advantage that accelerates productivity, improves quality‑of‑hire, reduces cost and risk, and strengthens organisational agility.

Responsibilities

A. Talent Acquisition Strategy & Governance

Own enterprise TA strategy, operating model, policies, and standards
Run governance forums (scorecards, risks, priorities)
Translate business needs into capability roadmaps
Define global role segmentation and sourcing tiers

B. Global Process Excellence & Standardisation

Design and improve end‑to‑end TA workflows (REQ

onboarding)
Lead assessment framework design
Implement global process blueprint with local market flexibility
Create playbooks and embed time‑to‑shortlist and conversion checkpoints

C. Employer Branding & Talent Marketing

Develop an Employer Valur Proposition (EVP) content strategy across channels
Partner with Comms/Marketing on campaigns and always‑on sourcing
Govern brand and inclusive language standards in job adverts

D. Talent Intelligence, Market Insights & Workforce Analytics

Build talent intelligence capability (market maps, salary insights)
Deliver TA analytics dashboards and funnel diagnostics
Integrate workforce planning with external supply signals

E. Technology & Automation (ATS, CRM, AI)

Own TA tech stack strategy (ATS, CRM, AI, assessments, automation)
Drive self‑service and automation to improve speed and experience
Ensure compliance, security, integration with HRIS
Maximise adoption and training across the organisation

F. Vendor Management & Partnerships

Manage global partner ecosystem (RPO, MSP, agencies, vendors)
Run RFPs, negotiate commercials, rationalise vendor footprint
Cultivate partnerships with universities and industry bodies

G. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Talent Strategy

Embed DEI in sourcing, assessments, training, and hiring governance
Ensure accessible and inclusive candidate experiences

H. Capability Building

Build a TA Academy to upskill recruiters and hiring managers
Establish TA communities of practice

I. Executive Stakeholder Management

Serve as advisor to senior leaders on talent markets and workforce strategy
Deliver quarterly business reviews with scorecards and insights
Navigate change across global senior stakeholders

Location

The role is based in our Global Headquarters in City West, Dublin, Ireland. As our team is globally dispersed, there will be flexibility required to interact with colleagues around the world in their time zones (i.e. it’s not a ‘9 to 5’ type of job). In return, you will be joining an environment that understands how intertwined work and life have become - and both the benefits and challenges that it brings - and therefore offers a flexible, progressive way of supporting it through our Hybrid Working philosophy.
