What we're looking for
  • Significant experience as a full lifecycle recruiter, ideally within the payments network space.
  • Ability to move beyond tactical recruiting to think strategically about talent challenges, advise senior stakeholders, and shape organisational hiring strategy.
  • A curious mindset to help understand the roles you're recruiting for and be able to have meaningful conversations about challenges.
  • Highly effective communication and relationship building skills to partner with busy hiring managers and provide a world class experience to candidates.
  • An ability to thrive in an ambiguous and ever changing environment, and continuously identify opportunities for improvement.
  • A data driven approach to optimise your recruitment processes and provide meaningful insights to the business.
