The Role
What you’ll do
Product velocity depends on having the right engineering and technical talent in place, fast, and at a high bar. As a Talent Partner, you will own that directly. You are not a support function for the Engineering team. You bring genuine craft to how technical hiring gets done, and you're accountable for the quality and pace of the people who build Legora's product. You will own end-to-end hiring across engineering in UK&I, working closely with senior leaders who are genuinely invested in recruiting, trusted to make high-impact decisions on hiring and team composition. Specifically, you will:
- Own full-cycle recruitment across UK&I, partnering closely with hiring managers to define role scope, success profiles, and hiring strategies aligned to business priorities.
- Help shape how Talent operates at Legora, contributing beyond hiring to process design, programs, tooling, and broader People initiatives.
- Build and nurture proactive talent pipelines for critical and future hiring needs, ensuring we stay ahead of demand rather than reacting to it.
- Run structured, data-informed hiring processes that balance quality, pace, and consistency while maintaining a high bar for talent.
- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience from first conversation through to offer, acting as a trusted and credible ambassador for Legora throughout.
What you bring
You understand that hiring decisions are business decisions, and you hold yourself accountable to the same outcomes as the teams you hire for. You're hands-on, sharp, and trusted by senior leaders to shape teams that win. We're looking for:
- 5+ years in talent acquisition in a high-growth environment, startup, scaleup, or VC-backed company, with meaningful depth hiring engineering talent.
- A proven track record hiring high-performing engineering talent across the seniority levels that matter most at this stage of growth.
- The ability to hold a credible conversation with an engineering leader about what strong looks like. You understand the difference between a good CV and a good hire in technical roles, and you don't lower the bar when searches get hard.
- Experience partnering with senior stakeholders on hiring strategy and team build-out, not just executing briefs, but shaping them.
- The ability to run multiple complex searches without losing quality or pace.
- Comfortable in ambiguity with a bias toward action. You build a structure where none exists and move without waiting for perfect conditions.
- Collaborative but direct. You influence and challenge senior stakeholders when needed, and you drive decisions rather than defer them.
