- A highly organised and productive individual, obsessed with the detail and keen on efficiency
- Data-driven mindset with the ability to problem solve, gather information, analyse metrics, and make decision
- A team player, willing to ‘get stuck in’ with whatever needs to be done in a timely manner and equally happy to work solo

- This role will lead all talent acquisition activities for the global business, and you will be the the point of entry for all new Vivo-ers

- Continually working to improve our hiring strategies to identify, engage and attract the best talent
- Build strong relationships with hiring leads, tailoring job descriptions, interviews, and selection assessments to meet their needs
- Take ownership of the relationships with external recruiters/agencies including negotiating agreements and contracts but reduce usage to bare minimum unless absolutely necessary
- Track & analyse hiring metrics to assess the effectiveness of hiring strategies and provide regular reports to Leadership
- Source key talent through various channels, from job boards and social media to professional networks
- Conduct thorough candidate assessments and screenings, ensuring alignment with our company values and commitment to regenerative business
- Advocate and champion our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) recruitment initiatives, and positively contribute to our unique workplace culture
- Continue to build on our best practices to ensure a positive and inclusive candidate experience throughout the recruitment process, working to continuously improve experience and efficiency

Our take
VivoBarefoot is a footwear brand that focuses on creating sustainable and minimalist shoes. The company was founded in 2003 by Galahad and Asher Clark, members of the Clark's shoe-making family, with the vision of making shoes that allow feet to move naturally.
VivoBarefoot's philosophy is based on the idea that the human foot is designed to be strong and mobile, and that traditional footwear often restricts foot movement, leading to various foot problems. Its shoes are lightweight, flexible, and are designed to have the ability to mimic the feeling of being barefoot while still providing protection and support.
Committed to reducing its environmental impact, VivoBarefoot prioritises using eco-friendly materials such as recycled plastic bottles, natural and recycled rubber, and sustainably sourced leather. In addition to sustainability, VivoBarefoot is involved in social and educational projects, and supports initiatives that promote barefoot walking, foot health, and overall well-being.
