What you will be doing

Codat is scaling rapidly. We have doubled our head count year on year for the past 3 years and have ambitious plans to continue this pace of growth. As a result, the talent team is looking after well over 50 open positions at any time.

• Work with Leadership to understand future high impact roles for the next 6-18 months and work on how to find and where to find talent to suit those positions

• Help the wider talent team build expertise in long term acquisition tactics

• Consistently help Codat to secure highly driven and impactful individuals regardless of team or function

Our values

No matter what we're doing - whether we're speaking to customers, partners or to each other - we live by our values.

We believe in delivering useful technology that solves real problems for real businesses. We have a real want to do the stuff that isn't always "cool" but makes a difference.

We believe that the people in the best teams push and enable each other to excel. We're united when we have each other's backs - when something goes wrong, we don't blame, we work together to fix it. We embrace differences of opinion to end up with better outcomes. Transparency in our interactions is critical to drive towards our goals as a team. We openly share all information with all colleagues by default, unless we have a really good reason not to. We embrace differences of opinion to end up with better outcomes. We don't let our egos win.

We believe that an unstoppable drive towards a single, clearly stated goal is the best way to build great things. We are biased towards action - we make informed decisions and then we act. We inspect and question the status quo with curiosity, unafraid to ask the hard questions. There is no such thing as an impossible problem, just a great challenge to sink our teeth into.
