Apron

ABOUT APRON Apron is building something game-changing. Founded in 2021, Apron set out to help SMBs win. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, yet the systems they rely on — particularly around payments — are slow, manual and not built for them. The biggest threat to a small business is cash flow, often stemming from a gap between the demands payments put on owners and their ability to make those payments effectively. Apron changes that. We're closing the gap by digitising and simplifying the payments process: capturing invoices, issuing expense cards, paying and getting paid, all in one place. We've grown fast over the past few years, expanding our team to circa 100 people across the UK, Germany, Spain and beyond. We're backed by Index Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Zinal Growth and Tony Fadell, having raised $50m to date. The ambition from here isn't incremental. Apron is building a category-defining, global fintech business with a clear path to significant revenue scale and international expansion. Getting there takes more than a great product — it takes a world-class team, and that starts with how we hire. ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a mid level Tech Recruiter to join our Talent team on a full-time basis and help power Apron's next stage of growth. Apron was named the #1 fastest growing fintech (Sifted 100) across the UK & Ireland in 2026, and as we scale further, we need a sharp, sourcing-led recruiter who can take real ownership of our hiring. This is a great role for someone who's already comfortable running full-cycle technical recruitment and wants more autonomy, more variety, and a seat closer to the business — without the need of managing a team. You'll work closely with our hiring managers across Engineering, Product and Data, owning searches end-to-end and helping shape how we find, engage and close great people in a competitive market. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Own full-cycle recruitment for a portfolio of technical and product roles — including Backend, Frontend, Mobile and ML Engineers, Product Managers, Product Designers and Data Analysts. * Partner closely with hiring managers to understand team needs, define role briefs, and agree hiring criteria and process. * Proactively source and engage candidates through outbound channels — building strong pipelines, actively exploring new candidate sources. * Manage the candidate experience from first contact through offer, keeping communication sharp, timely and human. * Use hiring data (funnel conversion, time-to-hire, source effectiveness) to flag bottlenecks and suggest improvements to hiring managers and the wider Talent team. * Build and nurture a talent pool of strong candidates for future roles, keeping warm relationships going even when the timing isn't right. * Stay close to the market — salary benchmarks, competitor hiring activity, and candidate sentiment — and share insight with the team. * Support employer brand initiatives that help Apron stand out to engineering talent (content, events, careers page, job ads). WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * Continous experience in a talent acquisition or recruitment role, with solid exposure to technical/engineering hiring (in-house or agency background both welcome). * Confidence running full-cycle recruitment independently, from brief to offer. * Hands-on sourcing skills — you know your way around LinkedIn Recruiter, online communities and crafting messages that actually get replies. * Experience recruiting within a startup, scaleup or fintech environment, ideally in London, where speed and adaptability are the norm. * A genuine interest in tech and product, and the ability to speak credibly with engineers about their work. * Comfortable using an ATS and interpreting hiring data to inform decisions. * Organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to juggle multiple live roles and hiring managers at once. * A collaborative, low-ego approach — you're building your career in recruitment and want to learn from a small, experienced team while taking real ownership. Nice to have: experience hiring in a regulated or payments-adjacent business, or exposure to recruiting for AI/ML roles WHAT WE OFFER 💷 Competitive salary + meaningful stock options 📈 Pension plan with Nest 🏥 Health insurance (including optical and dental cover), life assurance 🚼 Enhanced parental leave 🥗 Weekly Deliveroo allowance 🌴 29 days holiday (on top of bank holidays) ☕ Flexible working hours 📍 Hybrid working — 3 days a week in our London (Liverpool Street) office 🚲 Cycle to Work scheme, Electric Vehicle scheme OUR HIRING PROCESS Straightforward, transparent, and run at your pace — with feedback within 24 hours at every stage. 1.
