Senior Talent Partner Software Engineering - apron

Apron is building something game-changing.

Founded in 2021, Apron set out to help SMBs win. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, yet the systems they rely on (particularly around payments) are slow, manual and not built for them. The biggest threat to a small business is cash flow, often stemming from a gap between the demands payments put on owners and their ability to make those payments effectively.

Apron changes that. We're closing the gap by digitising and simplifying the payments process: capturing invoices, issuing expense cards, paying and getting paid, all in one place.

We've grown fast over the past few years, expanding our team to circa 100 people across the UK, Germany, Spain and beyond. We're backed by Index Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Zinal Growth and Tony Fadell, having raised $50m to date.

The ambition from here isn't incremental. Apron is building a category-defining, global fintech business with a clear path to significant revenue scale and international expansion. Getting there takes more than a great product: it takes a world-class team, and that starts with how we hire.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a Talent Partner to join us on a full-time basis and help power Apron's next stage of growth. Apron was named the #1 fastest growing fintech (Sifted 100) across the UK & Ireland in 2026, and as we scale further, we need a sharp, sourcing-led partner who can take real ownership of our hiring.

This is a great role for someone who's already comfortable running full-cycle technical recruitment and wants more autonomy, more variety, and a seat closer to the business, without the need of managing a team.

You'll work closely with our hiring managers across Engineering, Product and Data, owning searches end-to-end and helping shape how we find, engage and close great people in a competitive market.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own full-cycle recruitment for a portfolio of Engineering roles, including Backend, Frontend, Mobile and ML Engineers. As we're a small team, you'll help hire other roles like Product Managers, Product Designers and Data Analysts whenever needed.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand team needs, define role briefs, and align hiring criteria and process.
• Proactively source and engage candidates through outbound channels, building strong pipelines, actively exploring new candidate sources.
• Manage the candidate experience from first contact through offer, keeping communication sharp, timely and human.
• Leverage data (funnel conversion, time-to-hire, source effectiveness) to proactively flag bottlenecks and suggest improvements.
• Build and nurture a talent pool of strong candidates for future roles, keeping warm relationships going even when the timing isn't right.
• Stay close to the market and proactively share insights with the team.
