About Abound

We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation.

And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch.

Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us.

About the role:

We’re looking for a Tech Sourcer to help build the talent pipelines that will power Abound’s Engineering, Data Science, AI and Credit Risk teams.

This is a great opportunity for someone who has experience in their sourcing or recruitment career who’s curious, proactive, and excited about finding exceptional technical talent.

Who you are:

2+ years’ experience in recruitment, sourcing, or a similar talent-focused role

Proven experience sourcing for software engineering or technical roles

Comfortable owning multiple pipelines simultaneously

Strong understanding of how to find and engage passive technical talent

Curious, proactive, and motivated to continuously improve how you work and bringing new ideas
