Job description

About OpenFx

OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, Paypal, Aff and other top-tier investors.

The role:

We are hiring a senior talent partner, dedicated to hiring for the Operations team. The operations team includes compliance operations, payments operations, client success, treasury and finance operations, and adjacent roles. Many of these are senior, specialised searches in a regulated industry, spanning India, the US, UK / Europe and the Middle East. You own every operations search end to end, from intake with the hiring manager to a signed offer, in whichever geography the role sits. This is a hands-on sourcing and closing role, not a generalist or people ops role.

The role reports to the Head of Talent.

What you will do:

• Own the full hiring lifecycle for all operations roles across geographies: intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, feedback loops, offer negotiation and close
• Run outbound-led sourcing for operations talent (LinkedIn, referrals, industry networks), with the ability to find niche fintech and payments operators who are not actively looking
• Partner closely with operations leaders to define role requirements, calibrate on profiles and hold a high bar on senior hires
• Navigate the differences in hiring across markets: talent pools, compensation norms, notice periods, visa and relocation considerations
• Run a tight, well-communicated candidate experience and keep hiring managers accountable to interview timelines
• Keep Greenhouse (and any ATS in use) clean and current for your roles: pipelines, scorecards, stage data
• Manage agencies on operations searches where used, and keep agency spend under control
• Report weekly on pipeline health, pass-through rates and time to hire for operations roles

What we are looking for (Must Haves):

• 10 to 12 years in talent acquisition, with at least 6 years recruiting operations roles at a high-growth startup or scale-up
• Proven track record of closing senior and specialised operations hires through outbound sourcing, not agency hand-offs
• Experience hiring in at least two of our core regions: India, US, UK / Europe or UAE / Middle East
• Can assess operations talent credibly: understands what strong operators in payments, compliance or client-facing functions look like and can screen for it
• Comfortable with Greenhouse or a comparable ATS
• Clear, direct communicator who is comfortable engaging with the hiring managers and managing senior stakeholders

What we are looking for (Good to have):

• Fintech, payments or crypto background
• Experience hiring in a regulated industry where compliance and licensing roles are part of the mix
• Agency management experience
• Prior in-house experience at a Series A or B company

What we offer

Competitive salary and benefits, equity, and a fast-moving fintech environment where your hires shape how the company operates.

OpenFX is an equal opportunity employer.

We are an In-Office Company and hence expect our colleagues to collaborate and innovate while being present in the Office.
