What if going global was as simple as going local?

Outpost is building the AI global trade engine. The accumulated knowledge of every rule you'd need to sell internationally, turned into infrastructure. Tell us what you're selling. We'll tell you how to sell it everywhere.

We operate as Merchant of Record or Tax of Record across 58+ tax jurisdictions. Full liability transfer, or just the tax layer. We do the analysis, we handle the setup, we absorb the liability.

Sell anything, anywhere. Without compromise.

This is a Talent & People role for someone who wants to build the team and culture of a category-defining company.

You'll report directly to the CEO and own how Outpost hires. Initially that means recruiting: sourcing, closing, and building the pipeline of exceptional people who will define the company. Over time, you'll build the broader people function: onboarding, performance, compensation, employee experience, and culture.

This might be the most important role at Outpost. We're a small team building something ambitious. Every hire matters. The wrong person slows everyone down. The right person changes what's possible. You'll be the person who makes sure we only hire right people.

You're a recruiter who wants to do more. You've seen what great looks like at a fast-scaling company and you want to build that from scratch. You care about culture as much as headcount. You want to own the full people function, not just fill roles.

Yes, the work is intense. But in return, you'll shape who Outpost becomes.

You'll work directly with the CEO, build the team from 15 people to whatever comes next, and define the culture and people practices that will scale with the company. If you want to build something that matters, this is the seat.

Hire the next 15 people and build the playbook for how we recruit
Source and close a Head of Sales in a competitive market
Design the onboarding programme that gets new hires contributing in week one
Build the performance review process from scratch
Create the compensation framework that lets us compete for top talent
Define the cultural rituals that keep the team connected as we scale
Build the employer brand that attracts people who belong here

Ideal background:

In-house recruiting at a fast-scaling startup or scaleup (Revolut, Monzo, Wise, Checkout.com, or similar)
Hired across multiple functions: engineering, commercial, operations
Seen what good looks like at a company that scaled quickly
Bonus: exposure to broader people ops, not just recruiting

Signals we care about:

You've closed hard-to-get candidates in competitive markets
You care about quality over speed. You'd rather wait than hire wrong
You think about culture as much as headcount
You want to build the people function, not just fill roles
You're comfortable with ambiguity. Startups don't come with playbooks
You want to own outcomes, not just run process
Bias for action. You source, you close, you iterate

What this role is not:

Not an agency recruiter moving in-house
Not someone who only wants to do recruiting forever
Not someone who needs a big team or mature process to be effective
Not someone who waits to be told what roles to fill

Most talent roles are about filling requisitions. This role is about building a company.

You'll decide who joins Outpost. You'll shape the culture. You'll build the people function from scratch. Every hire you make will compound into what the company becomes.

If you want to build the team behind global commerce infrastructure, this is it.

Our team were leaders at Revolut, Airwallex, Adyen and Wayflyer, and we're backed by top-tier investors who have built or backed some of the world's leading fintechs.
