Talent Partner

About the role

This role reports to me directly. As a Talent Partner, you'll own hiring across the business end-to-end - both technical and non-technical. That spans engineering, product and data hires through to GTM, customer success, partnerships, marketing and the operational roles that keep a scaling company moving. Some of these will be senior, ambiguous searches; others will be high-volume craft. It's a genuinely varied portfolio, and we're looking for someone who's energised rather than daunted by that breadth.

This is also a role with real sourcing depth. We're looking for someone who knows how to generate engagement and replies - someone whose craft turns cold talent into a real pipeline of conversations, across very different talent markets.

What you'll be doing

This is a doer role. We care deeply about execution and, alongside it, the experience we create for candidates and hiring managers. Prioritisation, sense of urgency, judgement and the ability to deliver consistently in a fast-paced environment are non-negotiable. The partnering, brand-building and system-level work all sit on top of getting the daily craft right.

Own hiring end-to-end across technical and non-technical roles - from senior, ambiguous searches through to the volume hiring that builds out our teams.

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 a sourcing-led operation. Design the targeting, build the messaging, and run the patterns that turn cold talent into committed hxers - across both technical and non-technical markets.

Help build hx's brand - 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 - where the bar is moving, what's shifting in comp and expectations across the roles you cover.

What you'll need to have done

• Owned and delivered across a real breadth of hiring at a high-growth SaaS, fintech or AI company - ideally spanning both technical and non-technical roles, and comfortable moving between them. We're an insurtech, so the book can also include specialist hires like actuarial talent - a rarer but meaningful part of what makes this role interesting.
• Closed candidates with multiple competing offers - including from top-tier competitors 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.
• A generalist's instinct: you're the kind of person who enjoys picking up an unfamiliar problem and figuring it out, rather than staying in a single lane.

Why hx

Your AI fluency will accelerate here. You'll work alongside a team that's actively building - interview coaches, candidate portals, sourcing agents, custom workflows - and you'll have the time, tooling and budget to push your own craft hard. If you're someone who learns by building, this is a rare environment to do that in.

You're joining a generational business at a real inflection point. hx isn't an early-stage bet - we have nearly 60 of the world's largest insurers as customers, zero churn, billions in premium flowing through the platform, and backing from a16z, Highland Europe and Battery. You get the rare combination: a varied craft role with the freedom to build, and the strong backing of a company that's already winning.
