Job description
As a Talent Partner at Oliver Benson, you are part of the Consultant Relations domain. In this role, you are responsible for building and maintaining relationships with independent IT consultants and facilitating the matching process on the consultant side, within a strict intermediary framework.
The Talent Partner works together with account managers within the sales domain, who are exclusively responsible for client contact, intake, and commercial proposals directed at clients. From sales, you receive a clearly defined expertise requirement, without involvement in client intake, project definition, or qualification.
Based on this information, you engage with independent consultants to discuss and map out availability, expertise, and collaboration terms. You explore the extent to which profiles align with the provided expertise requirement and compile relevant profile information and potential options for feedback to the account manager, who is responsible for further communication and commercial proposals to the client.
The Talent Partner does not engage in commercial conversations with clients, does not facilitate direct introductions, and is not involved in negotiations, pricing, or contract formation. You do not exert authority over consultants or interfere in the substantive execution of assignments. Your role remains intermediary, relational, and facilitative at all times.
During ongoing collaborations, you act as a point of contact on the consultant side for relational or process-related signals, without operational, substantive, or hierarchical interference. You monitor the progress of the collaboration from a neutral position and contribute to transparent and sustainable partnerships between autonomous parties.
In addition to these core activities, you also contribute, as a supportive secondary activity, to the proactive expansion and internal structuring of the consultant network. This includes market exploration and database management, aimed at improving the quality, discoverability, and relevance of the network.
