Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.
Our team is constantly growing and this means our Talent team is always on the lookout for exceptional people to help Relay deliver. We are looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, Technical to help us scale our technical recruiting engine. This is a unique opportunity to join a startup and make an impact across our growing teams, own the recruiting process, deliver an exceptional candidate experience, and improve process.

  • You’re a talent generalist and enjoy hiring for a variety of different roles across technical teams

  • Considerable vacation/end-of-year holiday shutdown: we take time off to reset and recharge so we come back better for our customers.

  • Personal and professional growth: support from leaders who care about your growth and success through regular feedback and coaching. Our goal is to make Relay a step-change career opportunity.
