About the role

We're looking for a Talent Coordinator to join Octoco and work alongside our Head of Talent Management. Talent Management at Octoco covers a lot of ground, from recruitment and onboarding through to performance reviews, career development, recognition, and the everyday HR admin that keeps a growing tech consultancy running smoothly.

This role is a great fit for someone who is genuinely interested in people, enjoys the variety of HR work, and wants to be part of building a workplace where engineers can do their best work. You'll start by supporting the Head of Talent Management across a range of activities and gradually take more ownership as you find your feet. Please note the position might start out as a three-month internship.

What you'll be doing

Recruitment and onboarding

• Coordinating recruitment activities, including tracking candidates, reviewing CVs alongside the Head of Talent Management, and scheduling interviews.
• Keeping candidate communication on track so people know where they stand at each stage.
• Coordinating onboarding for new hires, from confirming start dates and sending contracts to collecting documentation and setting up the right meetings.
• Maintaining accurate recruitment and onboarding records.

Performance, career development and recognition

• Preparing for performance review cycles by consolidating feedback and relevant information from managers and team members.
• Supporting career development conversations.
• Helping run recognition initiatives and events.
• Researching and proposing ideas for new recognition or culture initiatives.
• Assisting with remuneration review preparation, including consolidating performance data and helping with the admin that follows (salary letters, payroll updates, communication of rate changes).

HR admin, events and process

• Supporting day-to-day HR admin, including leave tracking, salary documentation, and time-logging checks.
• Helping organise internal team events and keeping the company event calendar up to date.
• Looking out for ways HR and talent processes could work better, and helping implement changes once they're agreed.
• Keeping HR records accurate and admin tasks moving along on time.

What we're looking for

• A degree in Human Resources, Industrial Psychology, Psychology, Business, or a related field.
• Some experience in HR, talent, or people operations is a plus, though we're also open to recent graduates who can show a genuine interest in the field.
• Strong organisational skills and a good eye for detail. A lot of this role is keeping multiple things moving at once.
• Discretion and good judgement when handling confidential information.
• An interest in tech and engineering environments, even if you don't come from one yourself.
• Familiarity with HR tools or willingness to learn them quickly.
• A proactive nature and a willingness to take ownership of the things you commit to.
• As the role includes event planning and employee wellness, you must have a valid driver's license to help run errands.

What you'll get from us

• Career growth: Room to grow into broader talent management and people leadership roles.
• Flexibility: A hybrid working model built on trust and self-management.
• People-first culture: A supportive, inclusive team where you'll feel like you matter.
• Interesting work: Exposure to the full talent lifecycle in a fast-moving tech consultancy.
• Strong support: Regular one-on-ones and structured quarterly reviews.
• Rapid learning: Hands-on experience across recruitment, performance, career development, recognition, and HR operations.
