About Wayflyer

Our mission is to give the world access to the best products by empowering great brands to reach their growth potential.

Today's consumer brands need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our unique technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours.

Since launching in April 2020, we've deployed over $4.5bn to thousands of brands worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan. We've become a trusted financing partner for some amazing brands, like True Classic, Little Words Project and Kekoa Foods.

Teams at Wayflyer are truly cross-functional. You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world - all striving to deliver on a huge opportunity. Check out this video to hear directly from them.

About the Talent Acquisition team

The Talent Acquisition team at Wayflyer is a tight-knit group of five, split between London and Dublin. We’re a mix of recruiters, a coordinator, and a sourcer, working in a lean, agile setup where everyone pitches in and is used to wearing multiple hats. Along with finding great people to join Wayflyer, we’re focused on improving how we hire across the company. We’re looking for someone who’s comfortable in a small, fast-paced team and has experience working on strategic projects to help us take our hiring efforts to the next level.

What you’ll do

• Full-Cycle Recruiting: Manage the end-to-end recruitment process for technical positions (Product, Data, Design, Engineering) from briefing through to offer acceptance.

• Stakeholder management: Lead the hiring efforts for our technical teams, partnering closely with senior stakeholders across each of our locations (Dublin, London, Europe, US, Australia)

• Sourcing Talent: Use creative sourcing techniques to identify and engage with top technical talent using LinkedIn Recruiter

• Continuous improvement: Help to shape our recruitment process and implement new initiatives that will raise the bar for how we hire technical talent.

• Employer Branding: Promote Wayflyer as an employer of choice within the tech community, highlighting our culture, values, and growth journey.

• Experience working in a fast-paced start-up or SaaS company.

• Strong understanding of the tech talent market, predominantly in the UK and Ireland.

• Strong network of technical candidates across engineering, product design and data science.

What is important to point out is that you can do most or all of the above mentioned and can point to your real experience doing it. You’ve probably done it at companies of different shapes, sizes and industries. Given what we do, experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations is particularly interesting to us.

On top of that, you’re amazing at prioritisation. You make sure you’re not spread too thin while also giving teams the support they need. You spend your time on the things that make a positive difference. People get why you’ve chosen to say ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘not yet’, and are ok with it.

What you’re like as a person and how you treat people is a big deal for us. People love working with you. You’re helpful and generous with your time and knowledge. People love helping you back. People know where they stand with you.

You’re always looking to learn and grow, on a personal and professional level. And you’re always looking to help others learn and grow by sharing your own knowledge and experience.

You know why diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging matters, and speak up when we can do better.
