Spend on technology is one of the biggest items in an enterprise CFO’s budget, second only to headcount. Traditional procurement

is one of the most frustrating, friction-filled bottlenecks in modern businesses. A single purchase routinely stalls for months,

drowning in endless email threads and dragging in teams from Finance, Legal, Security, and IT.

Vertice is the world’s first Intelligent Procurement Platform aiming to eliminate this chaos. By combining automated agentic

workflows, deep AI insights, and a global network of expert negotiators, we empower enterprises to buy smarter and scale at pace.

The market response has been unprecedented:

$75bn+ in spend processed across our platform.

20% savings consistently delivered to our customers.

70% reduction in standard enterprise procurement cycles.

13X revenue growth achieved over the last two years alone.

Founded by serial technology entrepreneurs Roy and Eldar Tuvey, who have successfully scaled and exited two category-defining

platforms and created $600M+ in enterprise value, we are backed by over $100M in Series C funding from tier 1 global investors

including Bessemer Venture Partners, 83North, and Lakestar. We were recently recognized as the #2 fastest-growing company on the

Sunday Times' Tech 100 and named the fastest-growing startup in the UK and Ireland by the FT’s Sifted.

With headquarters in London and hubs in New York, Brno, Sydney, and Johannesburg, we are fundamentally reshaping the global B2B

economy.

THE MISSION

At our stage of growth, the people we bring into the business are the single biggest determiner of our success. We believe that

the trajectory of our company isn’t fully determined by our product roadmap or our capital, but by the calibre of who we bring

into the team.

We are looking for an ambitious Strategic Talent Associate to act as the primary architect of our future team. This isn't a

traditional recruitment role; it is a high-stakes commercial and operational challenge. You will work directly with our senior

leadership team to solve the most difficult problem in business: identifying, attracting, and convincing the best talent to join

us.

You will focus on global roles including EMEA, US and APAC, and you’ll be partnering with hiring managers across a number of

different business areas: Customer, Client Delivery, Product and Solutions. We see this role as a “tour of duty:” after starting

out in the Talent team, you will be well prepared to either take a traditional recruitment role, or perhaps to work in more

generalist operations roles at Vertice.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

Most traditional recruiter roles are numbers games. This role is about balancing quantity with quality. You will be treated like a

Founder’s Associate, tasked with building the systems, the narrative, and the outbound engines required to win over people who

aren't even looking to move jobs. You will have a front-row seat to how a hyper-growth scale-up is built, operating at the

intersection of psychology, data, and strategy. If you want to understand how a successful company wins, there is no better

vantage point than the one that selects and assesses the people entering it.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Partner with Vertice leaders: You will work with Vertice heads of department on workforce planning and assessing great

candidates.

System Architecture: Instead of "searching" for people, you will build automated and repeatable AI-assisted systems to map out

entire industries and identify the highest-potential individuals before our competitors do.

Influence and Negotiation: You will act as the face of the company for elite candidates. You will master the art of the pitch,

learning how to align our mission with the personal ambitions of world-class talent, negotiating the right terms of their

entrance.

Data-Driven Decision Making: Treat the hiring funnel like a conversion funnel. You will analyze high-signal data to ruthlessly

eliminate friction in our interview processes and improve candidate experience.

Culture Guarding: You are the gatekeeper. You will design assessment frameworks that ensure we never compromise on our values,

even during periods of hyper-growth.

WHO YOU ARE

Smart Generalist: You are likely a high-performer from a top-tier consultancy, a former founder, or operator from a VC-backed

startup. You care about outcomes, not job titles.

High IQ + High EQ: You can dive deep into technical or operational requirements one minute, and then navigate a complex,

nuanced negotiation about a candidate’s motivations the next.

Process Obsessed: You hate inefficiency. When you see a manual task, your first instinct is to build a system or find a tool to

automate it.

Relentless Hustle: You are "hungry" and proactive. You don’t wait for applications to hit an inbox; you go out and create

opportunities through sheer grit and creativity.

Clear Communicator: You can write compelling narratives and speak with a level of authority that commands respect from senior

stakeholders.

WHY JOIN US

We don’t care about your background in recruitment, we care about your ability to solve problems. This is an opportunity to own

the most critical function of a scaling tech company. You will be given immense autonomy, a direct line to leadership, and the

chance to build a legacy through the team you assemble. If you want to move fast, work with the smartest people you’ve ever met,

and have a disproportionate impact on our company's value, we want to talk to you.

Role Requirements: * Systematic Thinker: Highly process-oriented; a background in business analysis, operations, or a similar analytical discipline is highly desirable. * Tech-Savvy: Instinctively explores new apps and can articulate their delights and frustrations. * Analytical & First-Principles Driven: Comfortable slicing data while able to zoom out to the broader user journey. * High EQ Communicator: Adapts communication style seamlessly for engineers, designers, traders, and executives. * Trend Spotter: Keeps up with product, sports-tech, and fintech news. * Nice-to-have: Exposure to sports trading products, mobile gaming, brokerage, or any highly regulated consumer product.
