Talent Acquisition Lead - MSIG Specialty Marine

MSIG Specialty Marine (MSIG SM), formerly MS Amlin Marine, is a leading global insurer specialising in marine and related risks. As part of the MS&AD Insurance Group, we bring together technical excellence, commercial agility, and bold thinking to deliver exceptional value to our clients.

We’re looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Talent Acquisition Lead to join our international HR team. Reporting to the Head of HR, you’ll lead the recruitment agenda across our business, working closely with hiring managers, HRBPs, and senior leaders to shape and deliver a talent strategy that fuels our next phase of growth.

This is more than a delivery role - it’s an opportunity to build a modern, insight-driven, and inclusive recruitment function that reflects the market we operate in and the future we’re building.

What you’ll need to bring to the team:

• 8+ years’ experience in global recruitment, ideally with a blend of in-house and agency exposure
• Strong relationship-building skills – you’re credible with senior leaders and approachable with hiring managers
• A commercial mindset – you think beyond requisitions and bring insight to the table
• Passion for inclusive, unbiased hiring and an interest in applying AI and emerging tools to recruitment
• Excellent writing, communication and storytelling skills – job ads, LinkedIn posts, and internal briefings
• Proficiency in English (written and spoken). Knowledge of another European language is a plus, not a must
• Resilience, humour, and a drive to make things better – you bring energy into a room
• You don’t need to fit a traditional “TA” mould to thrive here – if you’re driven, adaptable and ready to challenge how things have always been done, we want to hear from you

What you’ll be doing:

This is a standalone, high-impact role with lots of room to shape and grow. You’ll:

• Own end-to-end recruitment across all functions – from scoping and sourcing to offer and onboarding
• Partner with hiring managers and HRBPs to understand team needs and deliver smart, timely, and tailored recruitment solutions
• Strengthen our employer brand by telling compelling stories and helping us stand out in a competitive market
• Introduce modern and inclusive hiring practices – from structured interviews to AI-powered sourcing and unbiased job adverts
• Use data and insight to guide hiring decisions, track market trends, and provide regular reporting to HR and senior stakeholders
• Work closely with the Head of HR on workforce planning and long-term talent strategies
• Collaborate with the Head of Recruitment at MSIG Europe to share best practices, align on reporting, and support group-level recruitment initiatives

You’ll focus on meaningful, strategic work. Operational support is available for admin-heavy tasks, and you’ll be empowered to lead rather than follow.

What makes this opportunity exciting?

• A chance to build a recruitment function that’s modern, data-driven, and human-centred
• A standalone, high-trust role where your ideas and experience will shape how we hire
• A collaborative, cross-border HR team where your work directly contributes to company growth
• A supportive and inclusive culture that values individuality, collaboration, and balance
• Competitive salary (€70,000 – €90,000 depending on experience, plus bonus and benefits), hybrid working (minimum 2 days in office), and access to offices across Europe

We’re committed to inclusion and belonging

At MSIG Specialty Marine, we believe diverse perspectives drive better decision-making and innovation. We’re actively working to reduce bias in how we hire, engage, and grow talent. If you’re passionate about creating fairer hiring practices and an inclusive workplace, this is the place for you.
