Employer: BioTalent
Location: On-site, Southern California
Contract: Rolling month-by-month, up to 6 months
Rate: Highly competitive
Start: ASAP
BioTalent has been engaged on a major embedded RPO partnership with a large Southern California pharmaceutical business. Following a board-mandated growth plan, the programme will deliver approximately 150 hires in six months across production, manufacturing, quality and engineering.
We're building a small on-site delivery team led by our programme lead, previously Global TA Lead at a top-tier cell therapy company. This is a genuinely high-visibility piece of work with executive sponsorship behind it.
The role
You'll be embedded on-site as part of the delivery team, owning requisitions end-to-end across your assigned functions:
Full-cycle recruitment at volume - sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer management and close
Acting as a trusted advisor to hiring managers in manufacturing, quality and engineering
Building and running proactive sourcing strategies for hard-to-fill technical and GMP-regulated roles
Managing pipeline health and reporting against aggressive weekly and monthly hiring targets
Contributing to process, market intelligence and candidate experience as the programme scales
What we're looking for
Proven full-cycle recruitment experience within life sciences, pharma, biotech or medical devices
Direct experience hiring into manufacturing, production, quality or engineering functions - GMP environment experience strongly preferred
Comfortable operating at high volume without dropping quality or candidate experience
Confident partnering with senior stakeholders and managing expectations directly
Agency, in-house or RPO background all welcome; embedded/RPO experience an advantage
Able to work on-site in Southern California and start at short notice
This is a contract engagement running on a rolling month-by-month basis, up to a maximum of six months , aligned to the programme timeline.
What's on offer
Strong contract rate
Real ownership of a defined, high-impact programme rather than a slice of someone else's desk
Working alongside an experienced programme lead with deep cell therapy TA background
Exposure to a large-scale, board-sponsored hiring programme in a growing SoCal pharma business
Due to the confidential nature of this engagement, the client will not be named at application stage. Full details shared under NDA with shortlisted candidates.
