Senior Technology Talent Partner

About Abound

We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation.

And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch.

Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us.

We’re looking for a Senior Technology Talent Acquisition Partner to take ownership of hiring across our technical teams and help shape how we scale.

This is a role for an experienced recruiter who’s confident running end-to-end technical hiring, comfortable working closely with senior stakeholders, and motivated by improving how we hire: from tools and processes through to candidate experience.

You’ll play a key part in building strong engineering and technical teams, while also helping us refine and evolve our recruitment approach as we grow.

What you'll be doing

• Own end-to-end recruitment for technical roles across engineering and related functions

• Mentoring sourcers and recruiters

• Build and deliver proactive sourcing strategies to attract high-quality technical talent

• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand requirements, define hiring approaches, and ensure alignment throughout the process

• Improve and streamline recruitment processes, and help identify and implement better tools and ways of working

• Maintain and develop our ATS (Ashby), ensuring clean data and a smooth hiring process

• Track hiring activity and provide clear, useful insights to stakeholders

• Contribute to employer branding activity where relevant

• Support onboarding to ensure a smooth experience for new joiners

Who you are:

• 4+ years’ experience in technical recruitment, ideally within high-growth startups, fintechs or scaleups.

• Strong track record of hiring for engineering and technical roles across different levels

• Confident working directly with hiring managers and stakeholders, and influencing decisions where needed

• A strong sourcer who is comfortable going beyond inbound and building targeted pipelines

• Naturally curious about improving how things are done - processes, tools, and candidate experience

• Organised and able to manage multiple roles in parallel without losing attention to detail

What we offer:

• Everyone owns a piece of the company - equity

• Hybrid with 3 days a week in the office

• 25 days’ holiday a year, plus 8 bank holidays

• 2 paid volunteering days per year

• One month paid sabbatical after 4 years

• Employee loan

• Free gym membership

• Team wellness budget to be active together - set up a yoga class, a tennis lesson or go bouldering
