Senior Talent Acquisition Lead

Job Title : Senior Talent Acquisition Lead, GTM Location : New York Our Mission: Omnea is the agentic operating system for procurement. Procurement touches every pound a business spends, yet requests still stall for weeks and approvals get lost in inboxes. Our AI-first platform changes that: our agents capture requests, route approvals, onboard suppliers, flag risk and track every renewal, while anyone in the business can ask a question and get an answer grounded in their own company’s data. Buying becomes painless for everyone, procurement gets a seat at the table, and our customers have saved more than 100,000 hours of manual work so far. Companies like Spotify, PayPal, T. Rowe Price, JustEat, Adyen and S&P Global run procurement on Omnea. We’re backed by $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners and Accel, and we’ve been named the UK’s number one startup in the Startups 100, ranked 11th on Sifted’s 2026 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, and recognised as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies. Talent density matters more to us than almost anything else. We keep the bar high in every team, so everyone here has real ownership and real impact. Our team is full of former founders and operators who’ve scaled unicorns, and we’re looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers alongside them. What we're looking for Omnea is scaling fast after raising it's Series B in September 2025, and hiring is one of the most important levers we have. We're looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Lead to take end-to-end ownership of GTM roles, owning the whole process from sourcing to close. You’ll work to define and execute a high-quality hiring engine for your area of excellence. You’ll drive everything from sourcing and outreach, to process design, to candidate closing. You’ll help us recruit top-tier talent and position Omnea as one of the best places to build a career. We are building a very different type of talent function, focussed on quality & care rather than volume & speed. This role is for someone who wants to be embedded with senior leaders, have real ownership, and help shape the foundations of Omnea’s team as we continue to scale! What Can You Expect? You will help us build Europe’s best talent org from the ground up, thinking from first principles and ensuring we continue to work with only the top 1%. You'll spend a lot of time mapping, outreaching, and contacting candidates, and doing the first stage screening for your team. You’ll partner directly with senior leaders & hiring managers to shape role specs, align on success profiles, and constantly hit hiring targets. You’ll elevate the hiring bar by coaching interviewers, refining scorecards, and obsessing over what “great” looks like. You’ll craft strong outreach and messaging campaigns like a salesperson. You’ll cut through the noise to engage top-tier talent with authentic messaging. You’ll build and nurture a personal network of the top 1% talent; running invite-only events, networking with investors, and becoming known as the go-to person for elite hires. About You You’ve got 5+ years of experience in high-growth startups, or Agencies placing roles in high-growth startups, or similarly fast-paced, high-accountability environments. You know what great looks like in terms of talent and hold a high bar -- but you’re also pragmatic, fast-moving, and solutions-oriented. Experience in an agency setting in your career is a definite plus. You’ve got a track record of exceptional performance, whether in work, academics, sports, or anywhere else you’ve applied yourself. People trust you to get stuff done & you've built a great network in the startup & scale-up ecosystem. You’re a ruthless prioritiser, highly organised, and focused on outcomes over inputs. You’re efficient, leveraging AI throughout all your processes, and autonomous without compromising on quality, and you always nail the basics on process, comms, and ATS hygiene. You’re entrepreneurial and want to be part of building a business. You’re not looking for a narrow recruiter role; you want ownership, influence, and to play a key role in shaping a team through our scaling journey. You’re outcomes-focused, with a strong bias to action. You don’t get stuck in process or theory, you move things forward, fast and get to the right answer by testing. You can hire for both high-volume and specialised searches for niche roles. You’re a great communicator, i.e. clear, concise, and persuasive. You can write great outreach, pitch to a passive candidate, have exceptional behavioural and competency-based interviewing skills, and can hold your own in a strategic conversation with senior leaders. You’re proactive and crave accountability. You don’t wait for instructions; you figure out what’s needed and make it happen. You can execute with little guidance & lots of ambiguity. And you’re just a really good human, i.e. collaborative, kind, low-ego. You want to win, but not at the expense of others. You give feedback generously and seek it actively. You raise the bar for those around you. At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that's loved by everyone, we're best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. And regardless of your race, religion, colour, gender, or anything else! #J-18808-Ljbffr Omnea
