Korn Ferry is partnering with a globally recognised leader in the media and advertising space, and we’re building a brand-new RPO solution from the ground up. This is your chance to get in early and help shape it.

\n

This isn’t BAU recruitment. This is a rare opportunity to step into a greenfield environment — designing processes, influencing stakeholders, and embedding best-in-class talent acquisition practices from day one.

\n

If you thrive in fast‑paced, high‑impact environments and want to work with some of the most recognisable brands in media, you’ll love this.

\nThe Opportunity\n

As a Talent Acquisition Partner, you’ll operate as a true advisor — owning end‑to‑end recruitment while helping build and evolve a high‑performing RPO solution.

\n

You’ll partner with stakeholders across ANZ, delivering outstanding hiring outcomes while playing a key role in shaping how talent is attracted, assessed, and hired within a major media organisation.

\n

This is perfect for someone who:

\n

\n
• Loves building, not just maintaining
\n
• Enjoys influencing and partnering at a senior level
\n
• Wants exposure to a dynamic, creative, and fast‑moving industry
\n

\n
• Partnering with Hiring Managers as a trusted recruitment advisor
\n
• Delivering end‑to‑end recruitment across ANZ
\n
• Driving proactive sourcing and multi‑channel attraction strategies
\n
• Building and nurturing talent pipelines
\n
• Delivering a high‑touch, high‑quality candidate experience
\n
• Running structured briefing sessions and managing expectations
\n
• Assessing talent using competency‑based frameworks
\n
• Supporting the design and evolution of recruitment processes and reporting
\n
• Identifying opportunities to improve performance, efficiency, and outcomes
\n
• Acting as a SME across sourcing, market insights, and TA best practice
\n

\nWhat We’re Looking For\n

\n
• Proven experience as a Talent Acquisition Partner (RPO, embedded, or in‑house)
\n
• Strong exposure to the media, advertising, or creative industries (highly regarded)
\n
• Demonstrated success in direct sourcing and market mapping
\n
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing capability
\n
• Comfortable operating in a build/scale environment — adaptable, proactive, solutions‑focused
\n
• Confident communicator with the ability to engage at all levels
\n

\nWhy Join\n

\n
• Be part of a newly launched RPO with a global media powerhouse
\n
• Shape how recruitment is delivered from day one
\n
• Work within a high‑performing Korn Ferry environment
\n
• Gain exposure to a fast‑paced, creative, and influential industry
\n
• Make a visible impact from the outset
\n
