Senior Talent Acquisition Partner – People & Operations

What do you do at TryHackMe?

I’ve joined the Talent Acquisition team at TryHackMe.

My role is to lead the charge in finding and hiring top talent that drives our business forward and reflects our core values. As part of a lean, agile team, I’m focused on delivering an exceptional candidate experience at every stage.

Beyond recruitment, I work across the Talent Acquisition function to refine and scale our processes whilst partnering closely with People and Operations to ensure we're always growing smarter, not just bigger.

When did you join TryHackMe?

I joined in November 2025 in an effort to add some more senior TA presence to the business.

What do you do outside of work?

  • I play a lot of video games, probably too many for a 36 year old man 🎮

  • I spend a lot of time with my very cute dog walking about Bristol 🐶

  • I’ve been watching football every weekend since I was born, Manchester United are the best ⚽

  • I also enjoy playing card games (TCG/poker etc) 🃏

Fun fact

My wife and I enjoyed our first date on New years even 2018, I asked her to marry me the day after we met. 7 years on and we’re still married so I guess it worked out! People who know me are always shocked at that story as I don’t come across as a hopeless romantic ❤️

I’m hiring
