Talent Partner - 6 Month FTC

An Introduction to Primer

Primer is the world's first unified payment infrastructure, founded by former leaders of Braintree and PayPal. We unify fragmented payment and finance systems into a single, intelligent platform, automating the entire payments lifecycle from acceptance and orchestration to reconciliation, FX, and financial operations. Trusted by leading merchants worldwide, we give finance, payments, and engineering teams the tools to move faster, reduce complexity, and unlock growth. Our open, modular platform connects to 150+ services across the payments ecosystem, while our expanding CFO product suite brings unified reconciliation, FX management, and financial visibility across markets and currencies. Backed by Accel, Balderton, ICONIQ, and Tencent, we're setting a new standard for how the world moves money.

Which team will you be joining?

At Primer, the Talent team is responsible for building the teams that power our growth. We operate as true business partners, working closely with leaders across GTM, Product, and Engineering to define hiring strategy, unlock new markets and bring in exceptional talent from around the world. We care deeply about quality, pace and impact. That means going beyond delivery, bringing sharp market insight, raising the bar on hiring decisions and continuously improving how we attract and assess talent. If you’re excited by the challenge of building high performing teams in a fast‑scaling, global environment, you’ll find plenty of ownership and opportunity here.

What will you be doing?

• Owning a portfolio of 4–6 live roles at any time.
• End to end - intake, search strategy, sourcing, candidate assessment, offer and close.
• Partnering with hiring managers across multiple functions.
• Running structured intake sessions that turn briefs into sharp search strategies.
• Driving candidate experience that reflects how Primer actually works - fast, honest, considered.
• Calibrating with hiring managers throughout the search and shifting strategy when needed.
• Closing offers solo.
• Leaving the function in better shape than you found it.

What we’d love to see:

• 5+ years running in house technical or GTM recruiting at a high growth company.
• A track record of running senior searches solo, end to end, without needing oversight on each stage.
• Genuine fluency across multiple hiring areas.
• Sharp judgement on candidates.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and a heavy load.

You may not like it here if:

• This is a remote contractor role with real autonomy, but it comes with the expectation that you manage your own time and output without regular check‑ins to keep you on track.
• Priorities shift week to week as the business evolves.
• If you need a stable, predictable workload to do your best work, this won't suit you.

What’s life like at Primer?

We’ve been recognised as a top global employer, #1 in FinTech for ‘flexibility’! We’re building a culture where people can come and do their best work and enjoy it. You will be working with a team of people who are mission‑driven, smart, and reflective, and who are invested in building exceptional products and delivering success for our merchants. We work remotely and believe that building a successful, profitable company goes beyond proximity. We invest in our relationships with each other through great remote working practices and thoughtfully designed face‑to‑face time together.

Finally, let’s go ahead and say it. The work that we do is challenging. Startups are a challenge, building category‑defining products is a challenge. You should be prepared for a challenge at Primer. But, there’s a big difference between a challenge and a struggle. The key difference is that the right challenge comes with the right support structures, an acceptance that not everything always goes to plan, a collaborative environment, and a great team around you. It’s never a challenge that you will face alone.

Don’t meet every single requirement? At Primer, we’re dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply. You may be the right candidate for this or other roles. Primer is committed to the equal treatment of all current and prospective employees, regardless of background or beliefs.
