Talent Partner

We’re Fetch – a startup helping Aussies master modern pet parenting with the cutest pet insurance around. We’ve built Fetch from scratch, covering everything from policies to claims and apps for pet parents, vets, and even our internal teams.

Pet parents are loving Fetch; we’re the highest‑rated on Google at 4.9 ⭐, and have a +75 NPS. But we’re not stopping there. We’re building the go‑to pet health app and expanding into new countries 🌏.

We are making our first talent hire! You will help us build the team with the same care we put into the product. You will take full ownership of end to end hiring, partnering with hiring manager to hire the best people and build our talent brand. This is a builder role and it’s important that this is something you are passionate about.

We’ve got real ambition to scale - faster growth, bigger product bets, and new markets.

That only works if we can keep hiring great people across product, AI, pricing and operations.

This role is about making Fetch known for the quality of what we build (and the people who build it) - so great candidates already know who we are before they ever see the job ad.

This is a standalone role in Talent, reporting to the CEO, you will work directly with the founders and partner with every team: Product & Engineering, Data, Pricing, Customer Operations, Marketing, and Legal/Risk/Compliance.

🧲 Build Fetch’s talent brand: Define (and then ship) a clear employer value proposition across roles – what it’s like to build here, what we value, and why the work matters.

🎥 Create content that attracts builders: Role spotlights, “day in the life”, case studies, what we’re shipping, how we think about AI + customer experience. Written, video, social – whatever works.

🔎 Source and engage top talent (hands-on): You’ll do the hard yards. Market maps. Communities. Referrals. Direct outreach. You’ll build pipelines for roles from AI engineers and data scientists, to pricing leaders, to customer operations talent.

🤖 Use AI like it’s 2026: Build a modern talent stack using AI tools for sourcing, research, screening support, structured note-taking, and content production – without losing human judgement.

⚙️ Build the hiring machine: Scorecards, structured interviews, work samples, fast coordination, consistent decision making, and a candidate experience that people talk about.

📈 Own hiring outcomes: You’ll be accountable for pipeline health, time-to-hire, quality of hire signals, and improving our conversion at every stage.

🧑‍🏫 Coach hiring managers: Help leaders run great processes, write better role briefs, pitch roles properly, and close great people.
