Job description

Risk Ledger is developing a network of connected organisations, all working together to defend against cybersecurity attacks in the supply chain.

Organisations rely on us to establish trust, through sharing their security maturity and visualising the risks posed by their supply chain ecosystem. And we’re already trusted by customers like ASOS, Snyk, BAE Systems and the NHS.

We are putting together an amazing and talented team from a diverse set of backgrounds and skillsets to drive us towards our vision. Risk Ledger is built on the respect we have for one another and our users, united by our shared values and mission.

Every one of us is still learning: it’s how we grow as individuals. We’re curious. We’re ambitious. And we’re humble and honest. At Risk Ledger, we aim high to find the best solutions we can and always put our users first.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• You’ll be responsible for delivering our hiring efforts, directly shaping the future of our product & engineering capability and commercial growth engine.
• The People function is a core part of our company strategy—you’ll have a fantastic opportunity to work alongside the leadership team and Finance to ensure our people and talent foundations scale with us.
• This role blends hands‑on talent acquisition with light‑touch talent/people operations activities, giving you breadth as well as focus - you’ll further your t‑shaped skillset.
• You’ll help to evolve and nurture a high‑trust, high‑performing, inclusive environment through the talent you bring in and help to integrate into the business.

What You'll Do:

• Work alongside our Senior Talent Partner to deliver full‑cycle hiring in the UK for roles across Product & Engineering (Engineers, Product Managers, Designers + others), Commercial roles (AEs, SDRs, Marketing SME’s, Customer Success & Support) and Operations (Finance, Security & IT + others).
  • NB: For the initial 6+ months, we’d expect this person to be able to work across all junior‑mid level roles across the business to gain a broad but deep understanding of how everything fits together. After this period, as we scale, we’d like look to split ownership of business areas between Talent Partners.
• Execute on our hiring strategy with a focus on calibre, retainability and technical/behavioural excellence: sourcing passive talent, screening with confidence, supporting the end to end interview process and offer stage with exceptional candidate management whilst acting as a sounding board to Hiring Managers.
• Build high‑touch candidate experiences aligned with our inclusive, values‑led approach whilst keeping up momentum and energy to secure top talent.
• Gain a deep understanding of our R&D and GTM engines and business areas, ensuring external talent efforts and internal people considerations align whilst showcasing our employer brand.
• Adapt quickly to new areas of hiring as the business scales—we have a lot of new areas of capability to build yet, alongside scaling existing capability. You’ll be able to stretch your experience in terms of what and who you hire for.

What We're Looking For:

You have:

• 3–5 years in a Talent Acquisition role.
• You’ll have previously worked in a Series A / B B2B SaaS startup and will have a good, foundational understanding of typical organisational structures and roles.
• Proven experience hiring for a broad range of roles across R&D & GTM - ability to learn quickly about a business area, requirements, capability & skills to ensure we find the best people, at pace.
• Ideally, you’ll have some experience with people & talent tools or systems—either having used or being an admin for Greenhouse, Otta, LI Recruiter, HiBob (and others).
• Comfort operating in a fast‑paced, scaling startup environment with strong communication, capacity management and prioritisation skills.

You are:

• Someone who deeply values emotional intelligence & maturity. In every interaction you have, you look to set a positive example but also learn from the person in front of you.
• A quick learner, resilient and adaptable—able to pivot and hire into new areas as the business evolves, juggling multiple roles at any given time.
• A considered and collaborative partner who takes thoughtful, sustainable approaches to building trust with hiring managers, candidates, and colleagues.
• A critical thinker who considers all angles (risks, challenges, opportunities) before driving forward, especially where important decisions are concerned.
• A focus on outcomes & impact - able to track the right activities and metrics to ensure hiring and all relevant activity is on track across all roles. Cares about the ultimate impact a hire has on the business, long‑term.
• Curious, open & proactive - a natural hunger to grow your skills, to connect the organisational dots and constantly look for opportunities to improve yourself and the business.
