ABOUT THE TEAM AND THE ROLE
The Talent team partners with leaders across Plaid to build the teams that build our products. We are committed to thoughtful, candidate-first hiring processes and to scaling with intention.
Plaid is inherently a global business with a global mission, and as our first recruiting hire in Europe, you will help us achieve it by building best-in-class teams across the region. You will own full-cycle recruiting from sourcing to close, develop hiring strategies, and lead first-in-kind searches, all while delivering an excellent candidate experience. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role as our European presence expands. We're just getting started.
