Talent Acquisition Partner

About OLIX

AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.

The Role

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to drive hiring during one of OLIX's most critical periods of growth. You’ll work directly with hiring managers, and the People and Operations team to drive top-of-funnel, candidate experience, and the hiring process end to end. You’ll manage both delivery and systems, closing hard-to-fill roles, while helping to build the infrastructure that helps us hire smarter and faster.

The ideal candidate will have 0-1 experience in the accelerator space or deep tech with a creative mindset to navigate early stage challenges, and a track record of success navigating ambiguity and hiring at pace in a high performance environment. You’ll know what it takes to close junior engineers and technical senior leaders alike, with the ability to drive results independently and communicate clearly with your global Talent team.

This role is a 6-12 month Fixed Term Contract based in our London, Bristol, Toronto or Austin office and is 5 days a week in person.

Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle recruiting across key roles (engineering, technical leadership, operations, commercial), from sourcing through to close.

• Build and execute scalable sourcing strategies to surface top-tier, hard-to-reach candidates.

• Partner with hiring managers to craft compelling roles, sharpen their interviewing skills, and ensure fast, high-quality processes.

• Uphold high standards for candidate experience; every touchpoint should reflect our values.

• Help define and drive OLIX's employer brand, ensuring we show up in the right communities with the right voice.

• Evolve the recruiting stack and reporting.

• Identify process improvements as we scale (e.g. calibration tools, interview training, DEI tracking).

• Manage relationships with external partners (agencies, sourcers, etc.) and hold them to a high bar.
  

Skills & Experience

• 4+ years of recruiting experience, at least half of which has been in-house at a fast-paced startup or high-growth tech company.

• Track record of hiring top technical talent, whether that’s ML engineers, digital designers, systems architects, or otherwise.

• Excellent sourcing instincts and a creative approach to candidate engagement.

• Confident partnering with senior stakeholders; you’re comfortable saying “no” and backing it up with data or insight.

• Organised, responsive, and rigorous; you keep processes moving without dropping the ball.

• Passionate about candidate experience and helping build a hiring culture that scales and drives forward the company values.

Nice to have:

• Experience in deep tech or hardware-driven environments, and/or 0-1 experience in the accelerator space - especially where talent is scarce and highly specialised.
  

Compensation & Equity

• Competitive Salary: Commensurate with your experience, skills, and location.

• Equity & Ownership: Meaningful stock options. You’re not just joining the mission; you’re owning a piece of it.

• Proximity Bonus: We value your time. To minimise your commute and maximise your life, we offer an annual Living-Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office.
  

Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at OLIX depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.
