Role
Who you are
- Smart Generalist: You are likely a high-performer from a top-tier consultancy, a former founder, or operator from a VC-backed startup. You care about outcomes, not job titles
- High IQ + High EQ: You can dive deep into technical or operational requirements one minute, and then navigate a complex, nuanced negotiation about a candidate’s motivations the next
- Process Obsessed: You hate inefficiency. When you see a manual task, your first instinct is to build a system or find a tool to automate it
- Relentless Hustle: You are "hungry" and proactive. You don’t wait for applications to hit an inbox; you go out and create opportunities through sheer grit and creativity
- Clear Communicator: You can write compelling narratives and speak with a level of authority that commands respect from senior stakeholders
- We don’t care about your background in recruitment, we care about your ability to solve problems
What the job involves
- We are looking for an ambitious Strategic Talent Associate to act as the primary architect of our future team
- This isn't a traditional recruitment role; it is a high-stakes commercial and operational challenge
- You will work directly with our senior leadership team to solve the most difficult problem in business: identifying, attracting, and convincing the best talent to join us
- You will focus on global roles including EMEA, US and APAC, and you’ll be partnering with hiring managers across a number of different business areas: Customer, Client Delivery, Product and Solutions
- We see this role as a “tour of duty:” after starting out in the Talent team, you will be well prepared to either take a traditional recruitment role, or perhaps to work in more generalist operations roles at Vertice
- Most traditional recruiter roles are numbers games
- This role is about balancing quantity with quality
- You will be treated like a Founder’s Associate, tasked with building the systems, the narrative, and the outbound engines required to win over people who aren't even looking to move jobs
- You will have a front-row seat to how a hyper-growth scale-up is built, operating at the intersection of psychology, data, and strategy
- If you want to understand how a successful company wins, there is no better vantage point than the one that selects and assesses the people entering it
- Partner with Vertice leaders: You will work with Vertice heads of department on workforce planning and assessing great candidates
- System Architecture: Instead of "searching" for people, you will build automated and repeatable AI-assisted systems to map out entire industries and identify the highest-potential individuals before our competitors do
- Influence and Negotiation: You will act as the face of the company for elite candidates. You will master the art of the pitch, learning how to align our mission with the personal ambitions of world-class talent, negotiating the right terms of their entrance
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Treat the hiring funnel like a conversion funnel. You will analyze high-signal data to ruthlessly eliminate friction in our interview processes and improve candidate experience
- Culture Guarding: You are the gatekeeper. You will design assessment frameworks that ensure we never compromise on our values, even during periods of hyper-growth
- This is an opportunity to own the most critical function of a scaling tech company
- You will be given immense autonomy, a direct line to leadership, and the chance to build a legacy through the team you assemble

Our take
Vertice is a quickly growing scaleup offering companies new tech spend management solutions. It combines agentic workflows, AI insights and expert negotiation services to provide finance leaders with more control over their spending. The explosion of business-critical SaaS over recent years has seen corporate spend balloon, and ecosystems are only getting knottier, which is why Vertice is helping maximise the efficiency and quality of its clients' SaaS procurement. The solution is designed for finance, IT, and procurement teams.
Vertice’s founders are veterans of the SaaS scene, having created and ultimately successfully sold ScanSafe and Wandera over the past two decades.
With deep knowledge of the SaaS market, substantial resources, and crucial experience, Vertice is already in the running for market leadership and reached number 2 on the Sunday Times Tech 100 List in 2026. With impressive funding from the likes of Bessemer, Lakestar and 83North, it is focused on global revenue growth, expanding its commercial and customer-facing teams, and further developing its platform.
