Our Team CultureWe’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.
Your RoleThis is a 12 - 16 month fixed term contract covering maternity leave. Reporting to our Chief People Officer, you’ll lead and support our global Talent Acquisition team while remaining hands-on in recruitment delivery. You’ll balance team leadership and mentorship with running end-to-end searches yourself - a role for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, partnering closely with hiring managers, and driving both team performance and personal results in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Just as importantly, you’ll embody the Megaport spirit, fostering collaboration, innovation, and a positive team culture.

- Keep us moving: Help manage recruitment tools, vendors, and processes to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
