Job description

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the country in which the role is being hired. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.

Mark43’s mission is to empower communities and their governments with new technologies that improve the safety and quality of life for all. We build powerful, scalable, and elegant software that sets a new standard for the tools upon which our first responders rely. Our users are diverse, and we are therefore committed to embracing diversity of thought and experience within our team.

We are looking for a dynamic and strategic Technical Recruiter to join our People Team in Manchester. As Mark43’s first People hire in the UK, you’ll have the opportunity to build and grow our UK recruiting practice, shape our employer brand in a new market, and help establish the foundation for our continued expansion.

This isn’t just a sourcing role. You’ll be at the forefront of building a mission-driven UK organisation tackling some of the toughest technical challenges in public safety. Your work will connect brilliant minds with impactful missions and directly influence how our teams grow and thrive. From pioneering new AI tools to building scalable software that first responders depend on, you’ll help bring in the talent that powers it all.

What You’ll Do

If you were part of our team, here are some things you would have done last week:

• Led a search for backend engineers skilled in distributed systems to support new AI-enabled features
• Partnered with hiring managers across Engineering and Product to calibrate candidate profiles and design effective interview processes
• Developed a talent mapping strategy for critical technical roles across Manchester and the broader UK market
• Attended a Manchester tech meetup to introduce Mark43 to prospective candidates and grow our presence in the local technology community

You should have strong experience using LinkedIn Recruiter and be comfortable working within Greenhouse, our preferred applicant tracking system.
