Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a proven track record in hiring for non-technical roles, particularly Product Management
- Demonstrated ability to successfully recruit across multiple G&A and GTM functions in a high-growth, fast-paced environment
- Strong relationship builder with the ability to partner closely with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams
- Experience with sourcing tools like GEM, and applicant tracking systems (preferably Ashby)
- Skilled in crafting compelling outreach, calibrating role requirements, and influencing hiring decisions through data and insight
- Organized, adaptable, and energized by ambiguity and ownership
- Passionate about Parafin’s mission and motivated by the opportunity to help small businesses thrive
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Senior Recruiter to help scale our rapidly growing teams across Product, GTM, Legal, Finance, and Operations
- In this role, you will own full-cycle recruiting for a diverse portfolio of functions and partner directly with hiring managers to craft recruiting strategies, define role requirements, and deliver exceptional candidate experiences
- You will play a key role in attracting high-caliber talent that helps shape Parafin’s next chapter of growth
- While this role will support hiring across multiple functions, we are particularly interested in candidates with a track record of hiring exceptional Product Managers at high-growth tech companies
- Own and execute the end-to-end recruiting process for non-technical roles, with a focus on Product Management, GTM, Legal, Finance, and Operations
- Serve as a strategic talent partner to hiring managers: define role scopes, calibrate profiles, and provide data-driven hiring recommendations
- Proactively source and engage passive candidates using tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, GEM, and creative outreach strategies
- Champion an outstanding candidate experience by ensuring clear communication, thoughtful engagement, and a high-touch process
- Continuously analyze recruiting performance data to identify areas of opportunity and drive operational improvements
- Act as a trusted advisor by sharing relevant market trends and talent insights to influence hiring decisions
- Represent Parafin’s values and mission at networking events, conferences, and external forums
Our take
Parafin is a fintech platform helping SMBs access growth capital. It targets platforms where SMBs sell and transact and offers an embedded finance solution with which these platforms can offer loans ranging from $500 to $10M. Parafin provides the capital for these loans and assumes the risk, allowing platforms to offer competitively attractive incentives to help them draw in a larger proportion of the growing SMB market.
Parafin’s focus on SMB growth funding is canny. Most worldwide businesses fall into the SMB category, but funding access for these businesses shrunk dramatically post-pandemic when traditional banks became more conservative with their loan approvals. This exacerbates SMB cash-flow issues, which reportedly already account for more than four in five SMB failures.
This means Parafin is helping platforms fill a growing and crucial market niche. With leadership from former Robinhood employees, confident funding from major players including the founders of Robinhood, DoorDash, and Plaid, and partnerships with Amazon, Parafin looks poised to net a substantial and lucrative market.
