Full Job Description
We're looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to own full-cycle hiring across a shifting mix of technical and non-technical teams, reporting to the Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition.

The impact you'll make:

Behind every forward motion a Mission Lane customer makes is someone on our team: the analyst who spotted a pattern, the data scientist who developed a new algorithm, the product manager who made the next step clearer. Finding those people, the ones who clear the path to progress for our customers, is the Senior Talent Acquisition Partner's job: working with hiring managers, one search and one great hire at a time.

What you'll own:
  • Full-cycle hiring for a rotating portfolio of roles spanning credit, data science, analytics, product and platform management, and corporate functions, typically managing ~6-10 open requisitions at a time
  • Proactive sourcing for every search
  • The hiring plan behind every search you run: scorecards, panel recommendations, and interviewer briefs that define what "right" looks like before the search begins
  • Calibration across the interview process, coaching hiring managers and panelists toward a consistent, unbiased read on every candidate
  • Offer strategy and negotiation, partnering with Finance, HRBPs, and Total Rewards to land the right terms and close candidates
  • Pipeline and candidate data integrity across Greenhouse, Gem, and LinkedIn Recruiter, plus the market and talent-availability insight that shapes how your hiring managers scope and prioritize their roles

You'll thrive in this role if:
  • You build genuine partnerships with hiring managers, understanding a role well enough to pressure-test its scope and timeline together before a search begins.
  • You read a stalled pipeline like a puzzle: tracing the drop-off to its actual cause and knowing when the right move is patience rather than more volume.
  • You're comfortable as priorities sharpen and Mission Lane's own playbook keeps taking shape.
  • You're energized by hiring across genuinely different functions in the same week: a credit risk analyst one day, a machine learning engineer the next.

Minimum Qualifications:
  • 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with some of that time spent in-house rather than at an agency, ideally at a company that does not yet have a strong, widely recognized brand driving significant inbound applicant volume.
  • A track record of partnering directly with business stakeholders to understand what a hiring goal requires, then delivering candidates who meet it.
  • Proficiency with Greenhouse, Gem, and LinkedIn Recruiter, or comparable ATS, CRM, and sourcing platforms.
  • Ability to travel approximately ~4-6 times per year for in-person collaboration.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Credit industry experience, recruiting for credit analyst roles.
  • Experience recruiting for data science and machine learning roles.
  • Experience operating in a fast-changing, high-growth environment where priorities and processes continue to evolve as the company scales.
  • Recruiting experience at a company of comparable size and growth stage to Mission Lane, roughly 500 employees, high-growth, and still finding its shape.

Compensation:

Annual full-time starting base salary range: $143,000-$170,000

This role is eligible for additional compensation in the forms of participation in our annual incentive and equity programs.

Pay is based on factors such as work experience, education, certification(s), training, skills, and competencies related to the role. Mission Lane also offers a comprehensive benefits plan, which includes paid time off, 401(k) match, a monthly wellness stipend, health/dental/vision insurance options, disability coverage, paid parental leave, flexible spending account (for childcare and healthcare), life insurance, and a remote-first work environment.

About Mission Lane

LendUp was an American online direct lender. It offered payday loans, installment loans, and credit cards to consumers with low credit scores using publicly available data to assess creditworthiness. The company referred to its customers as “the emerging middle class.” LendUp also issued credit cards in partnership with Tom Steyer's Beneficial State Bank. LendUp was co-founded by in 2011 by stepbrothers Sasha Orloff and Jake Rosenberg and incubated at Y Combinator.The company positioned itself as a "socially responsible lender," and claimed to provide access to financial services for "underbanked" Americans in addition to lower cost credit and credit-building opportunities. LendUp received $325 million in equity and debt financing from PayPal, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Alexis Ohanian, Y Combinator and QED Investors, among others. In an article published shortly after the company's launch, Time Magazine wrote that LendUp "says it’s not like other payday lenders. Yet the fees it charges — a little over $30 to borrow $200 for two weeks — are similar to what its competitors charge." In 2016, LendUp paid $6.3 million in fines for deceptive practices and widespread violations of payday and installment loan laws. In 2016 it was again sued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for violating the Military Lending Act.
