Talent Acquisition Manager.

Greater London/ full time / Negotiable

Build the talent engine behind a fast-growing fintech. We’re a Series A fintech start-up entering an exciting phase of rapid growth, and we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager to build the talent engine that will help us attract and hire exceptional people at pace.

This is a genuine build-from-scratch opportunity. You’ll have the autonomy to shape our Talent Acquisition strategy, establish scalable processes, develop our employer brand and create an outstanding candidate experience — while personally leading critical hires across the business.

If you’re a strategic, hands-on recruiter who loves building things from zero to one, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact.

The Opportunity as the Talent Acquisition Manager, you’ll own and build our recruitment function as we scale.

You’ll work closely with our founders, leadership team and hiring managers to understand our talent needs, develop effective hiring strategies and build the pipelines we need for continued growth.

With approximately 10–20 hires expected each quarter, you’ll combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery — managing searches yourself while creating the foundations for a scalable TA function.

This isn’t a role where you’ll inherit an established recruitment model. You’ll build it.
  • Design and implement our TA strategy, processes and operating model from the ground up.
  • Establish scalable recruitment workflows, systems, tools and reporting.
  • Build a talent acquisition roadmap aligned to our growth plans.
  • Develop strong talent pipelines across key business and technical functions.
  • Introduce data and metrics to measure hiring performance, quality and efficiency.
You’ll Thrive Here If You…
  • Love building things from zero to one.
  • Move quickly without compromising on quality.
  • Are equally comfortable discussing talent strategy with a founder and personally sourcing a hard-to-find candidate.
  • See recruitment as a strategic business function, not simply a process.
  • Are naturally curious about fintech, technology and the future of financial services.
  • Bring structure to ambiguity and enjoy solving problems creatively.
  • Care deeply about candidate experience and employer reputation.
  • Want the opportunity to shape a TA function, team and culture as the business scales.
What We Offer
  • The opportunity to build and own Talent Acquisition at a high-growth fintech start-up.
  • Significant autonomy and direct exposure to founders and senior leadership.
  • The chance to shape our hiring strategy, processes, employer brand and future TA team.
  • A fast-paced environment where your work will have a visible impact on company growth.
  • Competitive salary and benefits
