Talent Champion

PortSwigger is a company built around a simple belief: security should empower people, not slow them down. We create world-class tooling that helps security teams and developers uncover and fix real vulnerabilities, the kind that actually matter. Our products are crafted with care, backed by deep research, and shaped by a relentless drive to make the web safer for everyone.
We're a successful, engineering-led organisation where small, autonomous squads do meaningful, high-leverage work. Curiosity fuels us, craftsmanship defines us, and mutual support keeps us growing together. Here, you'll have real ownership, clear direction, and the freedom to push boundaries, supported by thoughtful coaching and a culture that values learning as much as delivery.
The Culture Tribe:
The Culture tribe looks after people and the ways we work, owning the end-to-end people experience from Talent Acquisition and Onboarding to Swigger Success Champions and broader people programmes. Our mission is to create the conditions for everyone to do their best work: coaching leaders, running development and growth programmes, and stewarding the behaviours, rituals and ways of working that make PortSwigger special. We partner with tribes across the business to embed these behaviours and help people thrive every day.
We're looking for a Talent Champion to provide a world-class hiring experience that matches the quality of our culture. You'll work with leaders and hiring teams to shape smarter, faster, and more inclusive hiring, with a mix of strategic insight, data fluency and hands-on delivery.
You'll work across the whole hiring lifecycle: from helping craft great job descriptions and candidate journeys, to spotting bottlenecks and coaching better decision-making. We're growing steadily, and we want our talent approach to stay ahead of the curve, not just react to it.
Help make our hiring process smoother, smarter, and more scalable
Use data to spot patterns and guide improvements
Help embed consistent standards, without making things rigid
You'll help design and embed core hiring processes, from interview design to data dashboards, and ensure they scale as we grow
Coach and support leaders: Help hiring teams build clarity and confidence, whether that's writing better job descriptions, improving interview quality, or understanding market dynamics
Make data work: You'll use hiring data to diagnose issues, spot themes, and guide better decisions
You'll help to lead change that sticks by bringing people with you
Raise the bar, consistently: You'll protect our hiring standards and help us stay true to what makes PortSwigger special, even as we scale.
You don't just react, you analyse, reflect, and act with purpose. You use data to understand the story beneath the surface and suggest meaningful action
You've helped to build or refine hiring processes, and understand how to embed changes that stick across different teams and tools
You work consultatively, manage tensions with empathy, and can nudge leaders towards better decisions without needing a mandate
Comfort with AI tools: You've used AI in hiring, not to replace judgement, but to speed up drafting, organise insights, or streamline workflow
And you keep the long game in mind.
This is a chance to help shape and elevate how PortSwigger hires, not just fill seats
High-trust culture: You'll be trusted to do great work, supported to grow, and encouraged to think long-term
