The segment we work in
Venture-backed fintechs, payment aggregators, lending platforms, and embedded finance providers building teams to scale through the next stage of growth. Speed, regulatory awareness, and domain depth all have to be present at the same time, and our practice is built for that combination.
Which roles do you recruit for in fintech and payments?
Our mandates in this segment cluster around senior platform and payments engineering, risk-and-fraud product leadership, lending originations and underwriting product, machine-learning engineering for risk models and pricing, senior product managers across consumer and SMB fintech surfaces, growth and retention leadership, and the senior generalist hires (Chief of Staff, Head of People, VP Engineering) that growth-stage fintechs make at series B and beyond. Candidates who succeed here are comfortable with regulatory boundaries that consumer-technology firms do not have.
How we engage in this segment
We work with growth-stage and scaling fintechs on specialist search, structured around the pace and urgency these firms operate at. The typical entry point is a single senior engineering or product mandate, followed by a broader bench-build once the firm sees how we calibrate candidates; where the interview process is leaking candidates, we tighten it as part of the search. We are explicit about cap and capacity: we will not take on a volume engagement that we cannot deliver to standard. For firms scaling people infrastructure alongside hiring, fractional HR can run in parallel where the scope is sizeable.
