Build the Team Behind One of Europe’s Fastest-Growing AI Startups

At Fyxer AI, we’re building something rare: an AI tool that people actually use - every day - to do their jobs better.

Our product helps client-facing professionals like consultants, recruiters, and real estate agents automate the painful admin that eats up their day: email overload, scheduling chaos, meeting notes. Think of it as the AI Executive Assistant they’ve always needed -but never had. It integrates directly with tools like Outlook, Gmail, and Zoom, so it just works. That’s why people love it.

The Traction Is Real

We launched in May 2024. In just 9 months, we hit $10M ARR. By February 2025, we’d raised a $10M Series A from world-class investors like Marc Benioff and 20VC.

Thousands of professionals across the UK and US already rely on Fyxer and now we’re gearing up to scale to $50M+ revenue and beyond.

The Role: Head of Talent (Founding People Hire)

We’re looking for a Head of Talent to scale our team globally, with a heavy focus on building world-class commercial teams in the US and UK. You’ll be our first in-house talent leader, reporting to our Chief People Officer and partnering closely with our founders and leadership team.

You won’t just execute on hiring - you’ll own our talent strategy end to end, from headcount planning and EVP to systems and leadership coaching.

What You’ll Own

• Own and execute the global hiring strategy across GTM, Product, Engineering, and G&A
• Build out our commercial presence in the US: org design, comp strategy, benefits, sourcing, and onboarding
• Partner with founders and C-levels to define what ‘great’ looks like for every key hire
• Architect our internal TA infrastructure: tooling, scorecards, interview design, data/reporting
• Run executive-level hiring directly and build a world-class talent team over time
• Drive employer branding initiatives across outbound, social, events, and PR

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You…

• Have 7+ years of experience in high-growth tech startups, ideally with a strong focus on the US and UK markets
• Have led talent at Series A–C+ companies, preferably as a founding or early talent leader
• Are obsessed with quality, pace, and candidate experience and know how to balance all three
• Have built US commercial functions from scratch: you understand local talent pools, comp, and cultural nuances
• Are confident influencing at C-level and enjoy acting as a true partner to the exec team
• Are hands-on: happy to build strategy and run searches
• Thrive in high-context, fast-moving environments where speed of execution is a competitive edge

Why It Matters

We’re scaling rapidly. The next 20 hires will define our next 10x. You’ll play a critical role in shaping our culture, performance, and trajectory.

This isn’t just a recruiting job - it’s a business-critical leadership role that will help us win

The Interview Process

1. Submit CV (no cover letter required)
2. Intro call with our CPO (20 mins)
3. Deep-dive interview on your hiring strategy experience (45 mins)
4. Case study: org design & US hiring plan (45 mins)
