Talent Acquisition Partner (Business Functions)

We’re on a mission to back the UK’s small businesses like no one else. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and we’re here to help them win. We’ve built a platform that uses clever data to get them the funding they need in minutes, not weeks. At Funding Circle, we have the restless energy of a fintech start-up with the stability of a public company. It’s a unique mix that gives Circlers the autonomy to take ownership and the scale to make an impact that truly counts. We’re a high-performing team that chooses to lift each other up. We challenge, we champion, and we have each other’s backs - because we know that when we stand together, we move faster and build better. The impact is real: Last year alone, the businesses on our platform generated £7.2bn for the UK economy.

The role is based in London (Hybrid) with 3 days in the office and offers a competitive salary plus benefits. We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner in our Talent Acquisition team. This role will sit across both data and business hiring covering a varied scope of positions such as Data Analytics, Credit Risk and Legal.
