Talent Partner

Overview

FitXR is a fitness technology company working at the cutting edge of VR and MR, building a movement for movement.

We started life in 2016 in a garden shed in the UK. Today, we’re building FitXR, one of the top-downloaded apps on the Meta Quest store. We’ve raised close to $30m from top investors such as Maveron, Hiro, and BoostVC.

We’ve built a growing range of fitness studios, from box workouts with world-class trainers like Olympian Nicola Adams to immersive Zumba dance classes. While nothing compares to trying it yourself, you can watch a trailer here.

Our team is distributed across Europe and the US. We’re guided by our Principles of Play: four core beliefs about how we treat each other and our community. We make space for every voice, believe in the importance of a learner’s mindset, and prioritize team success over individual glory.

FitXR is available on Meta Quest 2 & 3 and has been downloaded by over a million people worldwide and featured in Forbes, Empire, T3, Washington Post, Men’s Health, GQ and more. In 2022, FitXR ranked 6th in The Information’s 50 Most Promising Startups.

TLDR

Working as part of our brilliant Operations, People & Talent team, this role has been created to focus on driving fair, objective hiring. As with all scaling businesses, we’re sometimes a little late to our own party with knowing exactly what we need and we’re looking to make the shift to a more proactive talent organisation.

This role is all about upholding the integrity of our process, providing an excellent candidate experience, finding ways to make our talent funnel more efficient and of course, keeping the pipelines moving!

What you’ll find here

• A highly collaborative team of multi-disciplinary specialists, who manage a huge range of experimental and high-impact product initiatives – your thoughts, challenges and ideas are actively encouraged!

• An ambitious but ambiguous environment – we’re here to build a category-defining product that radically changes how people experience fitness. This means there is no defined path for us to follow: we’re breaking new ground every day and learning as we do. You’ll thrive here if you’re as passionate as us about changing people’s lives for the better while being comfortable navigating ambiguity and creating your own certainty in the uncertain

• A culture built on delivering greatness, iterating, sharing feedback and trying new things – we want you to take bold bets focused on driving value to our customers, and tell us what you learn if it doesn’t work!

• A highly invested senior leadership team who believe our people are what will take our business to the next level – they are your teammates, cheerleaders, coaches, support team – working beside you as we build the #1 immersive fitness app in the world

• Strong foundations, but an openness to work your way – we have a high quality bar when it comes to delivery, but teams have the freedom to self-organise how they achieve this

• An excellent benefits package – see below

Where you’ll spend your time

• Attracting and interviewing the best talent in the market, accurately representing FitXR (opportunities and challenges)

• Advising hiring managers on criteria, process and decision-making

• Exploring and assessing new platforms or forums, always looking for the best place to hunt down the people we need

• Collaborating with our wider team on a huge breadth of projects

• Leading the charge in advocating for employer brand content, and holding us accountable for getting it done

What we’d love to see from you

• A real care for hiring, and wanting to make our approach the best it can be

• An eagerness to over-communicate – with our candidates and hiring managers alike, talent should be the one thing we’re talking about as often as possible

• A continuous improvement mindset; we do some things really well (and others less so!) and we love to see iterative level-ups. This comes with an ability to identify and measure what great looks like

• Experience in hiring – ideally art/design roles but this isn’t essential and we won’t turn candidates away for not having it

• Experience in working with a diverse group of hiring managers

Our mission is to make fitness fun and accessible for everyone. To build inclusive products, we need to build an inclusive team. Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you only are a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot. We promote a diverse and inclusive culture at FitXR
