About Mitchell Wright

I partner with US payment technology companies to build the teams that drive growth.As Head of US Recruitment at SearchWorks, I work directly with founders, executives and investors to hire the operators, product leaders and technical talent behind some of America’s fastest-growing payment and fintech platforms.Scaling payments businesses face a common set of challenges:• Hiring can’t keep pace with growth• Specialist talent is scarce and highly competitive• Senior hires carry real commercial risk• Internal teams lack the time or network to search properlyYou don’t need more CVs. You need the right people.I focus on targeted, high-impact hiring across Product, Engineering, Commercial and Leadership functions - supporting companies from early build-outs through to Series C/D scale. My approach is structured, transparent and outcome-led.How I work:• Align hiring to business goals, not just job specs• Map and engage the market directly• Deliver a focused, high-quality shortlist• Manage the process end-to-end through closeQuality over quantity. Precision over noise.If you’re building or scaling a US payments or fintech team — or want a clear view of the talent market, feel free to reach out:DM me on LinkedInEmail me: M•••••••@SearchWorks.ukCall me:+13•••••••84
