We are a global team of 3,000+ people across 20+ offices and 90+ nationalities, all dedicated to supporting merchants with excellent products. As a Talent Acquisition team, we don't just fill seats.

We care deeply about hiring excellence and finding people who truly elevate our teams.

Our Consumer Tribe - building the SumUp Pay App - is scaling fast and we’re looking for a Senior Tech TA Partner to help the team navigate London’s hyper-competitive market, where top engineers are in high demand.

What You'Ll Do

Lead the full-cycle hiring journey for complex roles across Engineering, Product, Design, and Data for the Consumer tribe, maintaining a consistently high talent bar as we scale. Build trusted, embedded relationships with Consumer leadership. You’ll serve as a proactive advisor rather than a reactive coordinator - running regular hiring cadences, maintaining pipeline visibility, and providing market-led recommendations on role prioritization.

Excel at identifying, engaging, and closing high-caliber passive tech talent in the London market, knowing how to articulate our technical challenges and unique value proposition effectively. Track and analyze funnel health metrics across your portfolio to surface blockers, challenge hiring assumptions, optimize sourcing efforts, and provide stakeholders with clear, honest pipeline updates. Create an inclusive hiring process that guarantees an exceptional experience for candidates and hiring teams alike, ensuring we stand out in a crowded market.

You'll be great for this role if… You have a proven track record of managing full-cycle talent acquisition for complex Engineering, Product, Data, and Design roles within fast-moving tech or fintech environments. You possess a deep understanding of the London and broader UK tech landscape, with a knack for mapping talent pools and knowing what it takes to attract and win over high-demand, engineering talent. You operate as a trusted business partner rather than just executing briefs - confidently managing multi-stakeholder portfolios, advising hiring managers on market realities, and expertly guiding interview calibration and debriefs.

You have a data-first mindset, using funnel analytics and recruiting metrics to identify what’s working, track pipeline efficiency, and clearly influence stakeholder decisions. You have a genuine care for candidate experience, bringing empathy and transparency to every stage of the hiring journey. Please note: We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
