About

Associate Director - Data Talent Solutions | Your Partner in Building High-Performing Data Teams I partner with companies on an exclusive or retained basis to help solve their data talent challenges. With 13 years of experience, I focus on building long-term, consultative partnerships, ensuring the hiring process is as efficient and seamless as possible for every client. From talent market research and job descriptions to employee value propositions, candidate sourcing, and offer management, I guide clients through every step of the hiring journey. My goal is to find the perfect match, not just for skills, but for company culture and team dynamics. On the candidate side, I work hard to find the best opportunities for YOU. I listen closely to what matters most in your career journey, and I’m here to support you through every stage, whether that’s interview prep, managing your schedule, negotiating the best offer, or making the resignation process a little easier. I'm also a huge advocate for working mums, flexible working, and diversity. If you're looking for advice on how to transition back to work as a returning mum, or if you want to make your organization more inclusive and flexible, let’s connect. I’ve worked with large organizations to help build diverse teams and have navigated the challenges of returning to work myself on flexible hours. If you're looking to expand your data team or considering a career change, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s see how we can work together to make it happen. 📩 Lauren@MBNSolutions.com
