Role
Who you are
- You are a proven recruiter with 3+ years of experience running multiple concurrent searches in high-growth environments (agency and in-house experience is a plus)
- You are equally confident in sourcing, pitching, and closing; you don’t wait for candidates to come to you
- You are instinctively data-driven, using funnel metrics not just to track progress but to guide decisions and influence stakeholders
- You communicate with clarity and confidence, acting as a trusted advisor who balances hiring manager needs with market realities
- You thrive in fast-paced, high-accountability environments where urgency and outcomes matter most
- You are obsessed with creating an exceptional candidate experience while moving with speed and precision
- Why Relay Might Be the Perfect Fit For You:
- You push relentlessly for reinvention: You’re built to constantly ask, “How can this be better?” Change excites you and you drive it

- You own your work: You take pride in your work, follow through on commitments, and feel a deep sense of responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks
- You treat comfort as a red flag: You seek growth. When things feel too comfortable, you lean into change. You’re excited about stepping into the unknown and navigating new terrain to create something better alongside your team
- You care about impact, not noise: You care deeply about the substance of your work. You measure success by results, not recognition and you let your work speak for itself
- You’re energized by complexity and ambiguity: You enjoy tackling problems that don’t come with a playbook. You’re comfortable building from scratch, iterating as you go, and collaborating to shape the best path forward
- You seek out feedback: We value directness, clarity, and respect. We believe honesty fuels great work and career growth. You see feedback as a tool for learning and improvement, and you know that open, honest dialogue is key to achieving the best results — together
- You’re here for more than a job: At Relay, everything we do is in service of our mission to help small businesses thrive. To drive impact and have purpose here, that mission must matter to you too

Our take
Traditional banking options can feel outdated and tedious, especially if this includes in-person visits and waiting in line. This has led to the rise of online banking - but lots of smaller companies have to navigate multiple complicated applications in order to manage this business banking.
This is what Relay aims to fix. It's no-fee, online banking and money management platform looks to tackle financial complexity for SMBs. The company's goal is to fully automate the finance function using banking that deeply integrates into back-office systems. And its software is designed to affordably increase financial clarity and security, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks.
Relay is focused on its long-term goals and plans to scale up distribution and grow in sales, marketing, customer support, operations, engineering and product. The company currently serves thousands of SMBs across the US with the goal to get 100,000 small businesses over the next few years.
