Talent Analyst

We are looking for a Talent Analyst to provide support to our Talent Partnerships team with the ever growing demand for The Portfolio Collective ‘Talent Partnerships’ offering.

The Portfolio Collective is a rapidly growing start-up helping professionals launch and sustain successful portfolio careers. We do this by offering insights, learning, support, collaboration and work opportunities to ‘Portfolio Professionals’ globally.

This role provides an exciting opportunity for a talented and ambitious individual to take on significant responsibility in a fast-paced start-up environment, backed by the knowledge and support of a highly experienced leadership team. 

Who are we?

The Portfolio Collective (TPC) was set up by Ben Legg (former COO of Google Europe) in July of 2020 with our COO Fiona Chorlton-Voong and CTO Jesus Iniesta. We could see that in the near future half of all professionals globally will be portfolio professionals, and that they will need support in launching and sustaining successful portfolio careers.
