Talent Partner - Technology

We’re looking for an exceptional Talent Partner to join our growing Talent team and drive hiring across our Technology function. As a digital bank, technology is the backbone of everything we do—from building the best products for our customers to the tools and platforms used by Zopians every day. In this role, you’ll have real ownership and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on how we build our teams. You’ll work across a dedicated hiring vertical (Software Engineering, Tech Operations & Delivery, or Data Services) and partner closely with stakeholders across the business, building strong relationships, offering thoughtful challenge where needed, and working together to make high‑quality hiring decisions.

It’s a fast‑moving environment where priorities shift, roles can be complex, and things don’t always go as planned. We’re looking for someone who is tenacious, resilient, curious, and motivated by continuous improvement. This is the right role if you take ownership, learn quickly, and are energized by solving tough hiring challenges.

A Day In The Life

• Drive talent acquisition for technology roles such as software engineering, data engineering, infosec, tech operations, delivery, and data services.
• Be a sourcing whiz building sourcing strategies to identify and attract passive candidates in the competitive fintech market.
• Build and maintain talent pipelines for hard‑to‑fill technical roles, ensuring we can move quickly when positions open.
• Provide market intelligence on compensation trends, competitor movements, and talent availability in the fintech space.
• Design and execute hiring processes that effectively assess technical competencies while maintaining an exceptional candidate experience.

About You

• Proven experience in sourcing and managing tech talent where the bar is high; you can demonstrate the ability to get under the skin of technical details and speak credibly on technical requirements.
• Advanced sourcing skills—finding candidates others can’t, using multiple channels and creative approaches to reach and nurture passive talent.
• Deep market knowledge of the talent landscape, including compensation benchmarks, career progression paths, and competitive dynamics.
• Technical curiosity—genuinely interested in understanding the roles you recruit for at a deeper level and able to have meaningful conversations about challenges.
• Strong stakeholder management skills—able to influence and advise senior leaders on hiring strategy and market realities.
• Data‑driven approach—using metrics and analytics to optimise recruitment processes and provide insights to the business.
• Passion for diversity and inclusion in technical hiring, with experience building inclusive processes that attract underrepresented talent.
• Resilience and tenacity—thriving under pressure while maintaining high standards in the highly competitive fintech market.
• Continuous improvement—never satisfied with how things are and always trying new methods to improve on previous results.
