Senior Manager - Recruitment Partner

Nov 2015 - Dec 2021
Great Britain's Gambling industry is in a state of constant change, fuelled by shifting consumer behaviour and the rapid growth of technology. Gambling touches every part of society and that means the Commission’s work does too. This was a uniquely challenging and evolving environment, and my role was to look for the right people to ensure we could meet the demands of both a market which was constantly growing in complexity and the Commission’s developing regulatory remit. The role recruited all levels up to and including working with Central Government to recruit the Chair and the CEO. The Commission also regulated the National Lottery, and I recruited the team for the 4th National Lottery Licence Competition. Joining the Commission meant joining a dynamic, high profile sector and being at the cutting edge of regulation, where the work has a real impact on people's lives. It also meant joining an organisation that is inclusive, respects work-life balance and is dedicated to helping colleagues achieve their full potential.
