About The Position

This role reports directly to the Head of Talent and is responsible for owning and leading US hiring across the GTM (Go-To-Market) and product organizations end-to-end. This includes partnering directly with senior leadership, such as the President, COO, and Chief Product Officer, on critical hires. The role is also responsible for hiring across various teams including AE, strategic and enterprise sales, technical sales, Customer Success, Partnerships, and Marketing. It is a senior craft role with a varied portfolio, involving founding-team-shaping moments and building the US revenue engine. The position is heavily outbound-focused, requiring the ability to generate engagement and build a pipeline of conversations. The Senior Talent Partner will also play a key role in building hx's brand presence in the US through events, employer brand initiatives, and market engagement. This role is based in NYC and is hybrid, requiring three days a week in the office. The individual will be the first member of the People team in the US, anchoring the US hiring presence and partnering closely with the London-based team across time zones. The role emphasizes execution, candidate experience, prioritization, urgency, judgment, and consistent delivery in a fast-paced environment. It also involves operating as an AI-leveraged builder, creating automations, dashboards, and AI-native workflows. Bringing market intelligence back to the business is also a key responsibility.

Requirements

Owned and delivered across the GTM breadth at a high-growth SaaS, fintech or AI company - senior leadership hires alongside enterprise and strategic sellers, customer success, solutions engineers and architects. We're an insurtech, so the book also includes specialist hires like actuarial talent - a rarer but meaningful part of what makes this role interesting.
Built a real network in the US GTM space - people you've known for years, who answer your messages, who refer to you, who you can pick up the phone to.
Closed candidates with multiple competing offers - including from top-tier competitors, FAANG-equivalent comp packages, or candidates whose stated motivations didn't match their actual ones
Used Ashby, Greenhouse, or similar ATSs as a builder, not just a user - designed your own dashboards, shipped your own automations, brought data forward as the opening move in stakeholder conversations.
Operated in an AI-leveraged talent function: built workflows with AI tooling, shipped automations, and have strong, current opinions on what good looks like in this space.

Responsibilities

Own US hiring end-to-end across the GTM and product organisations - spanning the most senior, ambiguous searches (founding-team-shape hires, leadership hires) through to strategic and enterprise sales, technical sales, founding and growing Customer Success, Partnerships, and Marketing.
Operate as an AI-leveraged builder. Ship your own automations, build your own dashboards, design AI-native workflows for hiring, and raise the bar for what a modern talent function can do.
Run an outbound-heavy operation. Design the targeting, build the messaging, and run the patterns that turn cold talent into committed hxers.
Help build hx's brand in the US - partnering on events with our investor base to grow our NYC presence, contributing to employer branding initiatives, and using every candidate conversation as a way to build hx's reputation in the market.
Bring market intelligence back to the business as a regular input - what's happening at peer fintechs, where the bar is moving, what's shifting in comp and expectations across the GTM spread.
