We are Saatchi & Saatchi – a full service, integrated communications network, with 114 offices in 67 countries, with our headquarters in London. Saatchi & Saatchi is part of the Publicis Groupe, the world’s third-largest communications group.

Saatchi & Saatchi launched in 1970, with the philosophy that “Nothing is Impossible” – a statement that crowns the top of our London building and is fundamental to our spirit. We approach things with the audacity of chutzpah. Chutzpah defines our culture at Saatchi & Saatchi. It’s the quality of audacity. Because if you are going to attempt impossible things you have to have the audacity to believe you can achieve them.

It helped us build an agency we are really proud of and does things differently – which means an industry leading diversity approach, that includes Saatchi Ignite – our curriculum-based schools programme, Saatchi Open – our entry level programme, Saatchi Home – our affordable accommodation initiative, Saatchi Women – our programme for progressing talent, and Saatchi Family – our programme for parents and carers.

We are still looking for great clients. Still trying to rock the world. Still believing. Still being impossible. Still having ideas that make our clients famous. Still searching for people who want to set the world alight. Still knowing there isn’t a problem a great idea can’t solve.

If Nothing is Impossible is our spirit, then Chutzpah is what runs through our veins. But there is still one missing ingredient in creating the impossible and that’s YOU.

We are looking for talented and ambitious individuals who have a keen interest and experience in HR. We, in return, are providing a springboard of an opportunity to get on that all important first rung of the career ladder.

This role is perfect for somebody who is looking to gain a deeper understanding of the industry and wanting to get fully immersed into HR. We want to hear from those of you with a strong desire to develop a career in HR, a self-starter who is resourceful, enjoys a challenge, highly motivated and driven to always deliver excellence.

As the Talent Coordinator for Saatchi & Saatchi you will be the first point of contact for all things “people operations”, playing a key role in the employee lifecycle. You’ll support initiatives that attract the best talent from diverse backgrounds, on-board new recruits, support the development of our people and gather insights from those who are moving on to the next part of their career journey. You will be part of a dynamic team that is dedicated to making Saatchi & Saatchi the best place to work and the best agency it can be.

You will have the unique opportunity to gain the exposure to business leaders that comes with being in a small team whilst having access to a variety of Talent experts and collaborative projects, as part of the much larger Publicis Groupe team. The fast-paced creative agency environment will help you develop an innovative and commercial approach to Talent Management, fit for the future of work and a long rewarding career in HR, with Saatchi & Saatchi & the wider Publicis Groupe.
