About Cleo

At Cleo, we’re not just building another fintech app. We’re embarking on a mission to fundamentally change humanity’s relationship with money. Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of background or income, has access to a hyper-intelligent financial advisor in their pocket. That’s the future we’re creating.

Cleo is a rare success story: a profitable, fast-growing unicorn with over $200 million in ARR and growing over 2x year-over-year. This isn’t just a job; it’s a chance to join a team of brilliant, driven individuals who are passionate about making a real difference. We have an exceptionally high bar for talent, seeking individuals who are not only at the top of their field but also embody our culture of collaboration and positive impact.

If you’re driven by complex challenges that push your expertise, the chance to shape something truly transformative, and the potential to share in Cleo’s success as we scale, while growing alongside a company that’s scaling fast, this might be your perfect fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Talent Partner, you’ll join our collaborative Talent Team, acting as a trusted partner and subject matter expert in hiring across Product Management and Design (including Product Design, Content Design, and User Research). Your role will be instrumental in shaping how we attract, engage, and hire top-tier product talent.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Proactively sourcing and engaging exceptional candidates through direct sourcing, building robust referral networks, and fostering deep candidate pipelines. We hire 99% of our roles directly.
• Working closely with the Principal Talent Partner to deliver outstanding hiring outcomes. For some roles, you’ll provide support through sourcing, while owning end-to-end recruitment for more junior positions.
• Designing and implementing best-in-class interview processes, leveraging data to assess quality of hire, candidate experience, and hiring manager satisfaction.
• Championing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by integrating inclusive hiring practices into every stage of the recruitment process, from outreach messaging to building diverse talent pipelines.
• Staying ahead of recruitment trends and tools, using platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, and innovative sourcing techniques (e.g., x-ray searching, community engagement, and events) to enhance recruitment outcomes.
• Collaborating closely with hiring managers and stakeholders to deeply understand the needs of product teams and provide strategic guidance on hiring.

About You

• Extensive sourcing experience, with a proven ability to directly engage top-tier talent in highly competitive markets.

• A deep understanding of the product talent landscape, including the unique skills and attributes that make great Product Managers and Designers.
• A candidate-centric mindset that prioritises delivering an exceptional experience for candidates and hiring managers alike.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to listen, iterate quickly, and build trust-based relationships.
• Comfort with context-switching, as you’ll be recruiting for roles across different product teams with varying specialisations and skillsets.
• A proactive, solution-oriented approach, demonstrating creativity and determination in solving hiring challenges for product talent.
• A data-driven mindset, using metrics and insights to continuously improve recruitment strategies and decisions.

UK App access: The Cleo app is no longer downloadable in the UK (but only until next year). If you’re an existing user, you’ll still have access to the app. But some features won’t be available (just for a little while). Why? 99% of our users are based 

in the US – where financial health is often overlooked. We’ve decided to shift our focus to where we can provide the most value and make the greatest impact for users who need it most. Then we’ll be able to apply what we learn to better support our UK users in the future.
