The FinTech Recruitment Partner Built For Ambitious Firms.
We work exclusively in FinTech. That means when you bring us a hiring brief, we don’t start from scratch – we already know the market, the talent, and what it takes to close the right candidate for your business.
From C-suite appointments to VP-level hires and specialist roles across sales, technology, AI, compliance and operations, we have placed 100+ leaders in the last 12 months across fast-growth scale-ups, fintechs backed by Tier 1 VCs, and global financial institutions. Confidential, fast, and precise.
Finding the Right Person. Without the Noise.
There are no upfront fees working in partnership with iopa Solutions. We only succeed when you do.
FinTech hiring has changed. The roles that drive revenue and transformation today, Chief Revenue Officer, VP of Sales, GTM Lead, AI Engineer, Head of AI Products, require a recruiter who already knows the market and the people in it. Generic job boards and volume-led recruiters will not reach them. We will.
iopa Solutions works exclusively in FinTech. In nearly 20 years of specialist search, we have built active networks across buy-side and sell-side firms, fast-growth scale-ups and globally established institutions. The talent we place is not found through adverts. It comes from relationships developed over thousands of conversations with senior professionals who trust us to represent opportunities with care.
We place leaders and specialists across commercial, technology and operational functions, including CRO, Sales Director, VP GTM, Compliance, and increasingly across AI-native roles: AI Engineers, AI Product Managers, and revenue leaders with the fluency to sell and scale AI-driven financial products to sophisticated buyers.
Whatever the brief, we run each search with the same discipline: discreet, structured and built around your business. We have placed more than 800 candidates, with an average retention of 6.5 years. Speed matters. So does getting it right the first time.
Once a search is complete, the relationship does not end there. Many of our clients have worked with us across multiple hires over a number of years. We get to know your business, your culture and the profile of the leaders who succeed in your environment. That knowledge compounds over time, and it means that when the next hiring need arises, we are already ahead of it.
We work globally. Our networks span FinTech hubs across the UK, Europe, North America and beyond, and we place candidates across borders as a matter of course. Wherever your business operates or is heading, we can find the right person.
If you are building a FinTech business and need the right people to help you do it, we would welcome a conversation.

What We Do Differently
Most FinTech recruitment firms operate on volume. They send CVs quickly and move on. We take a different approach: each search is run by a senior consultant with direct knowledge of the market, not passed to a junior team or an automated process.
We work on a contained number of searches at any one time, which means every client gets our full attention. We do not take on briefs we cannot service properly, and we do not send candidates we are not confident in.
If you want recruitment that is thorough, discreet and built around your business rather than our process, we would welcome a conversation.
Confidentiality in FinTech Executive Search
There are no upfront fees working in partnership with iopa Solutions. Every search we run is handled with complete discretion, from first conversation to final placement.
Senior hiring in FinTech is rarely straightforward. The candidate you need may still be in a role. The role itself may not be public knowledge. Your competitors may be watching. And the wrong approach, a speculative call, a poorly worded message, a breach of trust at any stage, can damage relationships that took years to build.
At iopa Solutions, confidentiality is not a process we follow because we have to. It is how we work. We have spent nearly 20 years earning the trust of senior professionals across buy-side and sell-side FinTech, and that trust depends entirely on discretion.
When you brief us on a search, the details of that search remain between us. We do not share client names without permission. We do not approach candidates in ways that would identify your business before the right moment. We do not post your roles publicly unless you specifically ask us to. We map the market, have quiet conversations with the right people, and bring you the shortlist. That is all you see.
The professionals we speak to know us well enough to take our calls. They talk to us because they trust that we will represent any opportunity, including yours, with care and accuracy. That trust is what gives us access to candidates who would never apply through a job board and would not respond to a recruiter they did not know.
If your search requires an extra layer of sensitivity, whether it is a leadership change, a replacement role, or a hire that cannot be made public until the right moment, we are experienced in managing these situations. We have done it many times before.
Discreet, precise, and handled by people who understand what is at stake. That is what we offer.
FAQ – iopa Solutions
How does the no-win, no-fee model work?
There are no upfront costs. You only pay iopa Solutions when a candidate is successfully placed and starts in the role. This means our interests are fully aligned with yours from the outset , we only succeed when you do.
How long does a typical senior FinTech search take?
It depends on the seniority and specificity of the role, but most searches produce a quality shortlist within two to four weeks. We are not a volume recruiter, so we do not send CVs the moment they come in. We take the time to identify the right candidates, brief them properly, and present you with a shortlist worth your time.
Do you work with businesses outside the UK?
Yes. We place candidates across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia, and we work with FinTech businesses at every stage, from early-stage scale-ups to globally established institutions. If you are building in a market where we have networks, we can help.
How is iopa Solutions different from other FinTech recruiters?
We work on a contained number of searches at any one time, which means every client gets senior-level attention. We do not pass briefs to junior consultants or rely on job boards. Our networks have been built over nearly 20 years of direct relationships with senior FinTech professionals who take our calls because they trust us.
