Hawkwood is partnering with one of the most high-growth, mission-led scale-ups in the market. Our client is building a global platform designed around an historically underserved customer base. Having initially built significant scale in one market segment, the business is now expanding into a much broader suite of products spanning credit, savings and investing. The company has millions of customers globally, and has raised significant funding from leading international investors. With strong foundations in place, the focus is now on international expansion, launching new products and building the teams required for the next stage of growth.
As the company continues to scale, they're looking for a Senior Talent Partner to lead Commercial hiring. Working closely with senior leaders, you'll own complex and high-impact searches while helping to raise the bar for hiring across the wider organisation. This opportunity is particularly well suited to a commercially minded, highly autonomous recruiter who enjoys solving difficult searches, influencing senior stakeholders and operating with genuine ownership in a fast-moving international business.
What You'll Do:
- Own complex, senior and niche searches across Growth, Marketing, Finance and Compliance, with real autonomy over how you deliver them
- Act as a strategic hiring partner to senior leadership - shaping and challenging briefs, not just filling them
- Use a modern, AI-first recruiting stack to sharpen sourcing, pipeline management and reporting
- Run talent projects end-to-end, from scoping through to signed offer, spotting blockers early and hitting deadlines without being chased
- Use candidate experience (NPS) data to proactively improve process, rather than simply reporting on it
- Help raise the hiring bar across the wider team through coaching and structured, consistent assessment design
About You:
- In-house recruiting background in a fast-paced environment, ideally with depth in GTM, growth or marketing hiring.
- Comfortable owning ambiguous, senior or sensitive searches with minimal oversight
- Strong sourcing ability in competitive, passive-candidate markets
- A track record designing hiring and assessment processes for niche or hard-to-fill roles
- Genuinely excited by AI tooling - you use data and AI to drive decisions and build your own productivity, not just to report upward
- Fintech experience is a plus, but not essential

This helps us ensure every candidate receives a fair, consistent and structured experience throughout the process. Given the confidential nature of this search, the name of the business will only be shared with candidates who are shortlisted.
