Job description

Our Mission:

Omnea is the agentic operating system for procurement.

Our Mission:

Omnea is the agentic operating system for procurement. Procurement touches every pound a business spends, yet requests still stall for weeks and approvals get lost in inboxes. Our AI-first platform changes that: our agents capture requests, route approvals, onboard suppliers, flag risk and track every renewal, while anyone in the business can ask a question and get an answer grounded in their own company’s data. Buying becomes painless for everyone, procurement gets a seat at the table, and our customers have saved more than 100,000 hours of manual work so far. Companies like Spotify, PayPal, T. Rowe Price, JustEat, Adyen and S&P Global run procurement on Omnea. We're backed by $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners and Accel, and we've been named the UK’s number one startup in the Startups 100, ranked 11th on Sifted’s 2026 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, and recognised as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies. Talent density matters more to us than almost anything else. We keep the bar high in every team, so everyone here has real ownership and real impact. Our team is full of former founders and operators who've scaled unicorns, and we're looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers alongside them. Find out more about the team and life at Omnea here.

The Role

We're seeking a specialist engineering recruiter to lead engineering hiring at Omnea. 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
• 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
