Our Recruitment Team

Tamaryn Bliss

Head of Talent & Workforce Planning

• I joined the BOQ Group in July 2024 as the Head of Talent and Workforce Planning. Prior to this, I have around 20 years of experience in various global Talent roles within the Financial Services sector. My journey has taken me through Early Careers, Professional recruitment, Executive Talent acquisition, succession planning, and talent development. I have a BSc Hons in Business and Statistics from Bath University, UK and have also earned Leadership certifications from AGSM, Cornell and Harvard.
• I have always had a keen interest in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and I strongly believe in the pivotal role Talent plays in building the best teams to achieve exceptional business outcomes. I am passionate about supporting females in their early career pathways and have served as an advisor to AFMA on the recruitment and retention of female graduates. I have also been a strong advocate for increasing female representation in financial services.
• Additionally, I am excited about the potential role Finance can play in driving the changes necessary to combat climate change and engage corporates on ESG. When I am not working, I love spending time with my family outdoors, especially in remote locations. I also have a love for travel and discovering new cuisines. 
• I look forward to connecting with you all and working together to achieve our goals.

I love nothing more than a beach holiday with the fam, a glass of rose in the sun, and being surrounded by friends and family on the weekend!
