- Experience owning end-to-end recruitment processes, ideally for Operations, Customer Success, Legal & Compliance, Finance, and People roles

- A proactive, solution-oriented approach, demonstrating creativity and determination in solving hiring challenges for G&A talent
- A data-driven mindset, using metrics and insights to continuously improve recruitment strategies and decisions
- TA toolkit: Experience with Greenhouse, Metaview, Otta, LinkedIn Recruiter, Notion, and G-Suite is a plus. If you’ve worked with other advanced sourcing tools, that’s a big plus too!

Salary benchmarks
Our take
People are increasingly not satisfied with the products being offered by traditional banks, which have proven slow to react to the needs of younger consumers who expect more from their everyday experiences.
Cleo was one of the first companies to make great use of chatbots that sit within Facebook's messenger app. This chatbot-first approach and Gen Z user base have given it strong virality. It now has millions of registered users, 99% of which are based in the US, leading to a decision to take a year break from the UK market to focus on its US Gen Z customers.
Its Series C funding will help the company to double down in the US, where it will make a significant increase in employee headcount, and enable Cleo to maintain and expand its service during an economic downturn.
Financial advice delivered via bots is a crowded space, so Cleo benefits from having a strong brand presence. It has gone for very bold, fun, Gen Z-focused messaging which helps it to stand out from competitors such as Emma, Plum, and Chip.
