LemFi (Series B) is building the go-to financial app for the Global South.
Moving to a new country shouldn’t mean starting from zero. That's why our team of 400+ spanning 20+ countries is building a financial ecosystem that helps immigrants stay connected to home, build stability, and create wealth regardless of where they are from or where they live.
What began as fast, affordable remittances is now evolving into a complete platform for multi-currency accounts, payments, credit, and long-term financial growth.
With millions of users across the globe, we process over $1B in monthly transactions to 30+ countries, proving that borders shouldn't limit financial opportunity.
The Role
We are seeking a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to serve as the strategic engine behind LemFi’s ambitious 2026 expansion, taking full ownership of our GTM functions, including Growth, Marketing, Sales and Credit.
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.
How You'll Contribute
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.
Excellent Experiences: Proactively identify trends in Candidate and Hiring Manager NPS data to spot areas for improvement as well as ensuring a fair, non-biased and premium experience for all.
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.
What You'll Bring
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.
