About this role
We're entering a phase of sustained growth and want to build hiring as a core capability.
This role owns end-to-end hiring alongside the founders for engineering, product and GTM roles and will shape how we attract, assess, and close talent as we scale.
This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role. You'll help design the system and run it.
We work in person five days a week from our sunny office in Farringdon. We believe being together helps us move faster and it’s more fun!

* Experience building hiring processes from scratch
* Employer branding experience

* Design and continuously improve:
o Interview processes
o Scorecards
o Feedback loops
o Hiring metrics (time‑to‑hire, pass‑through rates, source quality)
Source like an operator
* Proactively source high‑signal candidates (LinkedIn, referrals, outbound)
* Build and maintain long‑term talent pipelines
