Role
Who you are
- A Master of Execution: You thrive in ambiguity and can coach others through complex situations
- Impact-Driven: You prioritise speed and quality, ensuring metrics like Time to Hire and Quality of Hire remain strong even under pressure
- High Ownership: You manage your own capacity independently, re-prioritising work and project delivery to handle spikes in volume without dropping standards
- A True Consultant: You filter and synthesise information to keep stakeholders focused on what matters most, delivering difficult feedback when necessary to keep searches on track
- Collaborative: You act as a delivery benchmark for the team, modeling how to manage high-complexity workloads and coaching interviewers on consistency
- Recruiting Experience: Experience hiring in a fast-paced environment as an internal recruiter, specifically within global GTM functions such as Growth, Performance Marketing and Sales/Business Development
- You have understanding of the UK, European and African markets as well as deep experience hiring GTM roles in the US - understanding local nuances, regulations and challenges
- Systems Knowledge: Proficiency across the recruiting tech stack, with strong technical know-how on sourcing tools and getting the most from the ATS (Ashby experience is a plus!)
- Assessment Expertise: Experience designing hiring processes for niche roles, and coaching hiring teams on best practice
- Strategic Attraction: Experience driving targeted attraction campaigns to engage passive talent in competitive international markets
- Don’t meet every single requirement in the job ad? Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often hesitate to apply if they don't check every box. If you are excited about this role and our mission, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be just the right person for this, or other roles

- Joining during this high-impact scaling phase, you’d act as a master of execution who thrives in ambiguity and coaches others through the complexities of international hiring
- You will serve as a true consultant to hiring managers and senior leaders, navigating high-stakes hiring scenarios and acting as a delivery benchmark to relentlessly raise the quality bar for talent as we evolve from a startup into a scale up
- Strategic Delivery: Consistently deliver 3 hires per month on complex, senior leadership, or niche roles with minimal supervision
- Consultative Partnership: Lead SLT through sensitive hiring scenarios, managing expectations and confidently handling stakeholder pushback
- Data-Driven Insight: Act as a super user of our tech stack (Ashby and Gemini), consistently using data to support your thinking and recommendations
- Project Leadership: Lead talent projects independently from start to finish, setting clear goals and spotting blockers early to ensure deadlines are met
- Process Innovation: Design bespoke assessment methods, such as case studies and technical tasks, for niche roles while using automation to improve pipeline quality

Our take
LemFi, previously known as Lemonade Finance, is a fintech platform addressing the challenge of accessing reliable financial services faced by millions of immigrants worldwide. By offering quick onboarding and a multi-currency offering, LemFi allows its users to send, receive, hold, convert, and save in both their country of origin and residence currencies.
Recognizing the limitations faced by traditional banks and neo-banks, LemFi offers instant international transfers at favorable exchange rates with no transfer fees. Initially launched in Canada, growing demand for the company's services has allowed it to expand to the UK, and broaden its African payment channels.
The company has secured good funding from prominent investors like Y-Combinator, Zrosk, Global Founders Capital, and Olive Tree. With plans to expand its product offering across the globe, LemFi will further its mission of providing accessible and transparent financial services to migrant communities worldwide.
