- Partner with leaders to hire exceptional talent across software engineering, platform, data, AI, security, product, and technical leadership roles.
- Build trusted relationships with hiring managers and senior leaders, translating business priorities into calibrated role profiles, pragmatic hiring plans, and high-quality interview processes.
- Develop market-specific sourcing strategies for London, Cluj, Lithuania, Tel Aviv, and Valencia, informed by local talent supply, competition, compensation dynamics, hiring practices, and candidate motivations.
- Identify and engage talent that can thrive in a global, regulated, high-scale payments environment.
- Leverage modern, compliant AI-enabled recruiting workflows to improve talent research, market intelligence, outreach quality, pipeline management, and operating efficiency, while protecting the human candidate experience.
- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience through clear communication, thoughtful preparation, timely feedback, and authentic storytelling about Flywire’s mission, culture, and technical challenges.
- Build inclusive, durable pipelines and talent maps for priority technical skill sets and EMEA locations.
- Bring concise, actionable market intelligence to hiring leaders, including talent availability, funnel health, hiring risks, and recommendations before they become blockers.
- Raise the bar on hiring quality by improving interview calibration, structured evaluation, debrief discipline, candidate conversion, and equitable selection practices.
- Maintain accurate candidate data and pipeline hygiene within Flywire’s ATS and recruiting tools.
- Use recruiting metrics to identify bottlenecks, improve velocity, and continuously enhance the end-to-end hiring experience.
- Represent Flywire credibly within the EMEA technical talent community and build long-term relationships with candidates and external networks.
