Talent Acquisition Partner / Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

Your Role

As Talent Acquisition Partner / Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, you’ll own full-cycle recruiting for high-impact roles across Alpaca’s team, including but not limited to: brokerage, go-to-market, finance, strategy, and product. You’ll help us scale a global, remote-first organization building brokerage infrastructure and APIs. You’ll partner closely with functional leaders to translate business goals into hiring plans, run a rigorous and candidate-friendly process, and improve how we attract, assess, and close world-class talent in fintech.

Things You Get To Do:

• Own end-to-end recruiting for senior and/or hard-to-fill roles across functions from intake through close.
• Partner with hiring managers to build role scorecards, interview plans, and calibrated rubrics that reduce bias and increase signal.
• Proactively source and engage talent using targeted outbound, referrals, talent communities, and creative pipelines—especially for specialized fintech and infrastructure profiles.
• Lead effective hiring manager rhythms: weekly pipeline reviews, funnel health reporting, and action plans that keep hiring on track.
• Deliver a high-touch candidate experience: clear expectations, fast feedback loops, thoughtful closing, and strong communication at every step.
• Act as a trusted advisor on levelling, compensation ranges, closing strategy, and market dynamics (including remote/global hiring considerations).
• Improve recruiting operations and tooling: ATS hygiene, interview training, structured debriefs, and process documentation that scales.
• Use data to drive decisions—diagnose funnel issues, recommend changes, and communicate progress to stakeholders.
• Strengthen Alpaca’s employer brand by shaping role narratives, partnering with marketing/leadership, and ensuring our messaging resonates with fintech candidates.
  
  

Who You Are (Must-Haves):

• 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including senior-level hiring in fast-paced tech environments.
• Demonstrated success hiring for technical roles (engineering/data/platform) and/or regulated fintech roles (risk, compliance, brokerage ops, tax, finance).
• Strong sourcing capability: you’ve built pipelines from scratch and consistently deliver qualified slates for specialized roles.
• Excellent stakeholder management: you can influence and coach busy leaders, run tight processes, and maintain high bar + speed.
• Deep understanding of structured interviewing (scorecards, rubrics, calibration) and how to improve signal quality.
• Candidate-first communicator with strong writing skills—you can craft compelling outreach and clear, honest process updates.
• Data-literate: comfortable with funnel metrics, ATS reporting, and making recommendations based on what the numbers say.
• Experience working in remote or distributed teams and collaborating across time zones.
  
  

Who You Might Be (Nice-to-Haves):

• Familiarity with global hiring dynamics (NA/EMEA/APAC/LATAM), including regional talent markets and compliance considerations.
• Experience designing or scaling recruiting programs (interview training, DEI initiatives, referral programs, employer branding).
• Prior ownership of headcount planning, workforce planning, or partnering closely with FP&A/People Ops on hiring forecasts.
• Comfortable recruiting for both “build the rails” roles (platform/infra) and “run the machine” roles (operations/compliance) in the same org.
• Experience with Greenhouse (or similar ATS) and building scalable recruiting workflows and dashboards.
