Talent Sourcing Specialist

At Intelligen, we’re building something different. Over the past three years, we’ve evolved from a bold startup to a trusted partner for some of Australia’s most complex data transformations.

As we continue to scale, we are investing in our talent capability to support growth across data, AI, and governance. This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping how we attract and engage top talent in a highly competitive market.
