About the Role
Hammer Media is scaling fast, and the people we hire are critical to our success. As we continue to grow our media brands and financial products, we're looking for a
Talent Acquisition Partner who can help us build exceptional teams and raise the bar with every hire.
Reporting to the Head of People, you'll own full-cycle recruiting across a diverse range of roles, from creative and content production to marketing, technology, and product. You'll partner closely with hiring managers to understand their needs, develop effective recruiting strategies, and identify high-performing talent who will thrive in our ambitious, high-ownership, fast-moving environment.
This isn't a role for someone who simply fills open positions. We're looking for a strategic, hands-on recruiter who knows how to find great people, assess talent beyond the resume, and move quickly without compromising quality. You'll play a key role in shaping our teams, strengthening our hiring processes, and ensuring we bring in people who will make a meaningful impact from day one.

- You have strong instincts for talent and potential, with the ability to assess candidates beyond their resumes and identify people who will thrive in our culture
