Full Job Description
Mission of the Role: To lead, grow, and retain your portfolio of Enterprise client accounts through excellent delivery, strategic oversight, and team leadership - ensuring clients stay happy, successful, and scaling.

As a Talent Director, you'll be responsible for driving the performance and success of a portfolio of client projects through strategic leadership, strong project management, and high-impact team oversight. You'll lead a multidisciplinary team of consultants, managing delivery across clients while building trusted relationships at every level - from hiring managers to C-suite stakeholders.

Your core focus will be client satisfaction, team performance, and commercial growth. This means not just filling roles, but acting as a strategic advisor to clients, delivering hiring insights, market intelligence, and solutions to complex hiring challenges. You'll champion client happiness, ensure excellence in delivery, and identify opportunities to expand and strengthen the partnership.

You'll also represent Talentful's brand and thinking by delivering impactful sessions such as Talent Audits, workshops, and training, and sharing thought leadership via both formal (QBRs, reporting) and informal (weekly check-ins) client touchpoints.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead a high-performing team of consultants across your client portfolio, ensuring delivery excellence and on-target performance.
  • Own client success - measured by project outcomes, satisfaction scores (NPS and CSAT), and renewals.
  • Act as a strategic hiring advisor to your clients, adding value beyond filling roles through insights, benchmarking, and proactive problem-solving.
  • Build strong internal and external relationships, including regular collaboration with Sales, Marketing, and your vertical VP.
  • Deliver key client touchpoints including QBRs, monthly insights reports, and advisory sessions.
  • Conduct and oversee Talent Audits, market mapping, and hiring roadmap planning.
  • Contribute to Talentful's growth by identifying expansion opportunities within your accounts.

Who You'll Work With:
  • You'll report into a Vertical VP and partner cross-functionally with Sales and Marketing.
  • You'll lead a team of multi-level, multidisciplinary consultants embedded across your client portfolio.

The "Need to Haves":
  • Proven people leader - you're able to motivate, support, and drive performance in multi-level, multidisciplinary teams of 10+ people.
  • Service mindset - you have experience working in a staffing firm, RPO or consultancy
  • Delivery excellence mindset - you ensure teams meet hiring goals, uphold quality standards, and drive client experience.
  • Commercially savvy - you understand how to grow Enterprise accounts, retain clients, and contribute to revenue growth through renewals and expansions. You're experienced in producing highly compelling RFPs.
  • Strategic thinker - you bring hiring insights and market intelligence that influence client roadmaps and C-level decisions.
  • Exceptional client partner - you build trust at all levels, from managers to executives.
  • Influential communicator - you're comfortable leading QBRs, running advisory sessions, and handling complex stakeholder dynamics.
  • Analytical and detail-oriented - you use data (NPS, CSAT, performance metrics) to drive decisions and actions.
  • Confident facilitator and presenter - you're comfortable running audits, workshops, and trainings for external stakeholders.
  • Credible subject matter expert - you stay current with talent trends, benchmarks, and best practices.
  • Brand ambassador - you represent Talentful's ethos, voice, and consultative style in every interaction.

The cash compensation range we have provided has been benchmarked against similar organizations of comparable size, sector and age. Our offers of employment consider a variety of factors, including but not limited to, unique skill sets, specific expertise or certifications and business/organizational needs. We have not adjusted the range for differing geographical locations, which we take into consideration when building equitable offers. It is not typical for us to hire talent at the top of the range for a role, in part because it's so important to us to allow all Talentful employees the opportunity to develop over time, and to feel rewarded for doing so. A reasonable estimate of the total package compensation range for this role is 165,000-240,000 USD, inclusive of bonuses.
