Senior Executive Talent Acquisition in London

We’re partnering with a globally recognised fintech at a pivotal stage of growth, scaling commercial teams across international markets with a laser focus on hiring quality over volume. This is not a transactional recruitment role. This is for someone who wants to own the entire hiring ecosystem end-to-end, from process architecture through to delivery and continuous optimisation.

The Opportunity

• You’ll operate as a true strategic partner to senior commercial stakeholders, owning hiring across multiple business lines and regions.
• Manage 10–12 live roles at any one time with consistent, high-quality pipeline flow.
• Own the full lifecycle: role scoping → market mapping → process design → delivery → close.
• Build and refine interview frameworks, scorecards, and hiring processes.
• Continuously challenge and improve, streamlining workflows, pushing back where needed, and introducing Plan B strategies based on market data.
• Ensure every role has calibrated candidates progressing at all times.

This is a role for someone comfortable operating with high autonomy, pace, and accountability, where success is measured on both quality and efficiency.

What Sets This Role Apart

• Genuine ownership: You’re not filling roles, you’re designing how hiring works.
• Senior stakeholder exposure: Partner directly with leadership and influence hiring strategy.
• High-performance expectations: 3–4 hires per month within a tightly managed, data-driven process.
• Strategic recruiting mindset: Build talent pipelines, not just shortlists.

Ideal Profile

• Proven experience in commercial or GTM hiring (Sales, Account Management, Revenue roles).
• Comfortable managing high requisition volume without compromising quality.
• Strong ability to challenge stakeholders, push back, and influence decisions.
• Naturally structured, proactive, and data-led in how you operate.
• Thrives in environments where there is ambiguity, ownership, and pace.

Compensation & Why It’s Different

• £70k–£80k base salary.
• Quarterly bonus up to 40%, rare for in-house roles and heavily performance-driven.
• Strong benefits + a business experiencing significant, sustained growth.

Why Join?

• You’ll be stepping into a company that is scaling globally across multiple markets.
• Financially strong and operating in a resilient, high-growth sector.
• Investing heavily in talent as a strategic function, not a support service.

What You Need to Succeed

• Currently operating at Senior Talent Partner level (or equivalent) in-house.
• Reporting into Head of / Global Head of TA level leadership, with exposure to senior stakeholders, or feel you can cope with this level of visibility.
• Proven track record managing high-volume, high-quality commercial or GTM hiring.
• Experience owning multiple concurrent requisitions (10+), end-to-end.
• Strong evidence of process ownership and optimisation, not just delivery.
• Ability to influence, push back, and challenge stakeholders credibly.
• A highly structured, data-driven way of working with clear prioritisation.
• Demonstrated progression and commitment within in-house environments.

Non-Negotiables

• Agency-only backgrounds without a successful transition into in-house.
• Candidates who have moved in-house but lack tenure, progression, or impact.
• Recruiters operating in purely delivery-focused or low-ownership roles.
• Profiles lacking exposure to senior stakeholder management or process design.
• Candidates not comfortable operating at volume (10–12 roles) with continuous pipeline expectations.
