Senior TA Partner

What do we do?

Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 6000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

• Coach hiring managers on interviewing best practices, assessment quality, and inclusive hiring.

• Contribute to employer brand initiatives and talent attraction campaigns where required.

• Identify opportunities to improve TA processes, tooling, reporting, and operational efficiency.

We'd love to hear from you if you are:

• Significant in-house recruitment experience, ideally within fintech, SaaS, or scaling technology businesses.

• Proven experience hiring across technical functions and seniority levels, ideally within scaling technology businesses.

• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and challenge constructively.
