Global payments are not broken. Incentives are. Clearing has been deprioritized inside balance sheet driven institutions whose models rely on lending and interest. When liquidity takes priority over settlement, payments slow and certainty drops. The same financial institutions that distort clearing as providers are disadvantaged as users. They are forced into fragmented setups, inconsistent rails, duplicated compliance, and unpredictable timelines. Stablecoin shortcuts and treasury pooling treat symptoms at the surface, but almost no one is rebuilding the underlying infrastructure in each market.

We are rebuilding clearing as its own specialist function. We act as a clearing and transaction banking partner for regulated institutions, with treasury built into the core so liquidity, settlement, and reconciliation sit in one controlled system. Our platform unifies global and local licenses, direct central bank clearing, and domestic rails. We allow clients to open named customer accounts in every market we operate, collecting funds and paying out through a single network while retaining full ownership of their customer relationships.

Market expansion becomes as simple as one correspondent relationship, not hundreds.

Joining Lorum means contributing to one of the most ambitious clearing infrastructure projects in global finance. You will help shape settlement systems that perform under real regulatory standards and institutional volumes. You will build for regulated institutions that rely on precision, predictable timelines, and regulatory integrity. It is about working across currencies, markets, and supervisory frameworks to deliver reliable, final settlement.

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to join our Dubai office and help us bring in the people who will deliver this. The pace is fast, the bar is high, and your time at Lorum should be the highest growth period of your career.

You will own the end-to-end hiring process for a portfolio of roles across the business, partnering closely with hiring managers from kickoff through offer close. This is a true generalist seat. One week you might be running an engineering search, the next you are screening a content lead or driving a high-volume sales build out across our APAC and EMEA and international teams.

You will not just be filling roles. You will be raising the bar on how Lorum hires. That means tightening role scoping upfront so we go to market with clarity, running structured intake meetings, holding hiring managers to the conviction-based scoring standard we have set, and protecting candidate experience all the way through.

• Run full-cycle recruitment, with a focus on our Dubai and broader EMEA & APAC hiring, and contribute to global roles as needed
• Lead hiring kickoff meetings and produce sharp, single-source-of-truth hiring briefs before going to market
• Source actively. Sourcing is owned by Talent  will be hands on with Linked In, Kula (our ATS), referrals, and direct outreach, not just managing inbound
• Run talent screens (30 to 45 min) that genuinely filter for fit, motivation, and expectations
• Hold hiring managers to our interview scoring standard (Strong Hire, Hire, No Hire, Strong No Hire) and partner with them when scorecards need sharpening
• Manage offers end to end, including comp benchmarking, ESOP explanations, and closing calls
• Be a true partner to hiring managers, building real relationships and earning the right to challenge them when the brief, the bar, or the process drifts
• Contribute to building out our talent function: process, tooling, interview standards, and team rituals like Talent Weekly

We are looking for someone with three to five years in talent acquisition, ideally across a mix of technical and commercial roles. Beyond the experience, here is what actually matters:

• Adaptable and scrappy. You move fast, take…
