Description
At SumUp, we build simple, affordable financial tools that empower over 4 million small businesses worldwide to get paid, manage their money, and thrive. We are a global team of 3,000+ people across 20+ offices and 90+ nationalities, all dedicated to supporting merchants with excellent products.
As a Talent Acquisition team, we don't just fill seats. We care deeply about hiring excellence and finding people who truly elevate our teams. For us, recruitment is a team sport - we win together, constantly looking at how we can improve and bounce ideas off each other, and always step in to help whenever someone gets stuck or hits a wall.
Our Consumer Mission - building the SumUp App - is scaling fast and we’re looking for a Senior Tech TA Partner to help the team navigate London’s hyper-competitive market, where top engineers are in high demand.Your superpower will be understanding how to position SumUp's massive scale and impact to passive talent. Operating as a true talent advisor, you will own hiring across Engineering, Product, Data, and Design (EP&D) for the Consumer portfolio, scaling the technical teams responsible for turning SumUp into a leading financial services platform.
What you'll do
- Lead the full-cycle hiring journey for complex roles across Engineering, Product, Design, Data and some commerical role for the Consumer tribe, maintaining a consistently high talent bar as we scale.
- Build trusted, embedded relationships with Consumer leadership. You’ll serve as a proactive advisor rather than a reactive coordinator - running regular hiring cadences, maintaining pipeline visibility, and providing market-led recommendations on role prioritization.
- Excel at identifying, engaging, and closing high-caliber passive tech talent in the London market, knowing how to articulate our technical challenges and unique value proposition effectively.
- Track and analyze funnel health metrics across your portfolio to surface blockers, challenge hiring assumptions, optimize sourcing efforts, and provide stakeholders with clear, honest pipeline updates.
- Create an inclusive hiring process that guarantees an exceptional experience for candidates and hiring teams alike, ensuring we stand out in a crowded market.
You'll be great for this role if…
- You have a proven track record of managing full-cycle talent acquisition for Engineering, Product, Data, and Design and Commercial roles within fast-moving tech or fintech environments.
- You possess a deep understanding of the London and broader UK tech landscape, with a knack for mapping talent pools and knowing what it takes to attract and win over high-demand, engineering talent.
- You operate as a trusted business partner rather than just executing briefs - confidently managing multi-stakeholder portfolios, advising hiring managers on market realities, and expertly guiding interview calibration and debriefs.
- You have a data-first mindset, using funnel analytics and recruiting metrics to identify what’s working, track pipeline efficiency, and clearly influence stakeholder decisions.
- You have a genuine care for candidate experience, bringing empathy and transparency to every stage of the hiring journey.
Please note: We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. You must have the right to work in the UK to be considered.
