Job description

Our Mission

At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.

We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.

The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for.

Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex‑founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world‑class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe.

The Role

We’re seeking a specialist engineering recruiter to lead engineering hiring at Omnea – not a generalist talent lead. We want someone who has deeply immersed themselves in engineering recruitment, understands the London market inside and out, and has played a key role in scaling an engineering team from 20 to 100+ engineers.

You’ll work directly with engineering leadership, enjoying full autonomy over the hiring process. You’ll own sourcing, pipeline management, the hiring process, and the candidate experience from start to finish.

This is a high‑impact, high‑visibility role. Every hire you make will directly influence the company’s trajectory.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end‑to‑end engineering hiring across Omnea’s 10 engineering teams
• Source, engage, and recruit Senior product engineers in London’s highly competitive market
• Build and maintain a warm pipeline of passive candidates—the best engineers are rarely on the market
• Shape and champion the engineering EVP
• Partner with engineering leadership to define and uphold a high hiring standard, even as we grow quickly
• Design and refine the hiring process to reduce time‑to‑hire without compromising on quality
• Think creatively about Omnea’s presence to candidates, including brand, content, community, and events
• Own your pipeline metrics and know your numbers

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years in an engineering‑focused agency
• 2+ years in‑house at a respected, fast‑paced London tech startup dedicated to engineering hiring
• Experience scaling an engineering team from around 20 to over 100 engineers
• At least 5 years of engineering hiring experience in total
• Deep knowledge of London’s competitive engineering market
• A track record of hiring to a very high standard—think Monzo, Attio, incident.io, PostHog, Paddle level
• Active contributions to an engineering EVP
• Ability to have informed, credible conversations with Senior and Staff‑level product engineers about why Omnea is worth their time

This role isn’t for you if:

• You’ve only hired engineers as part of a generalist remit
• You haven’t worked in‑house at a high‑standard London tech startup
• You require extensive process infrastructure to operate effectively
