About Us

Every business needs to know who they’re really working with whether it’s suppliers, investors, partners, or third parties. At Xapien, we’re reinventing how organisations do that, combining speed, scale and accuracy with cutting-edge AI. Since 2018, we’ve grown from a deep-tech startup to a global player in AI-driven due diligence and risk intelligence. 2025 was our 4th year in a row of doubling revenue and customer numbers. We won a number of awards including placing in the Deloitte Fast 50 and Sifted 150.

With new regulations, rising compliance pressure and growing reputation risks, organisations everywhere are demanding smarter, faster ways to work and they’re turning to us. Customers worldwide from global law firms and private banks to universities and nonprofits rely on Xapien to turn days of manual research into trusted insights, delivered in minutes.

Our momentum so far: Customers in a diverse range of industries, with particular growth in legal and professional services, financial services and corporate supply chain management. Demand is accelerating beyond our UK headquarters: we’ve just opened an office in Boston, MA, with new customers across multiple geographies such as the US, Middle East, and Asia.

Why this is an exciting time to join: This isn’t just another operations role; it’s an opportunity to shape the future of the due diligence industry with a market-leading product trusted by global organisations. Whether you’re in finance, talent, ops, or indeed any team at Xapien, you’ll play a critical role in driving growth, building credibility, and defining how we connect our product to a rapidly evolving market.

We’re scaling fast with more customers, more releases, and bigger regulatory and market challenges. Expectations are rising, due diligence now means real-time insight, delivered efficiently and with impact. You won’t just be attracting our talent and managing the hiring process, you’ll be influencing strategy, optimising processes, and helping position Xapien as an employer of choice.

For people who love learning, innovating, and making an impact that matters now is the moment to be a part of Xapien.
