Modulr Finance hire a Business Impact Manager

Modulr is a high-growth, award winning FinTech scale-up with venture capital backing ($78.8m) from Blenheim Chalcot, Frog Capital, Highland Europe, PayPal Ventures and FIS.

Background

Modulr is a fintech scale-up that is breaking new ground within the payments sector, providing the payment infrastructure behind the likes of Revolut and Intuit Quickbooks.

As Modulr entered the next phase of its scale-up journey their Executive Leadership Team found a need for expert support and capacity relief, and so approached Movemeon with the remit of sourcing talented and experienced individuals to help them drive business performance improvements and deliver strategic projects across core business functions such as marketing, new business, customer success, operations, product and technology as they looked to continue accelerating their rapid growth.

Our approach

A Movemeon Growth Lead worked closely with the hiring manager at Modulr to craft a job spec that would specifically appeal to the candidates within our network that have the appropriate skills and seniority Modulr was looking for.

A dedicated Account Manager then marketed that job description to our candidate community of over 60,000 members, effectively targeting those with the most relevant skills and experiences, inviting the candidates that looked to be the best match to apply for the role and engage with the process. Within 7 days we were then able to produce a shortlist from the initial applications and make candidate introductions for first-round interviews. As Modulr proceeded with interviews, we continued to market the role to our community and engage with our candidate pool in order to build a consistent pipeline of high-quality and relevant applications, the best of which we then shared with Modulr, making further candidate introductions where necessary.
