Talent Acquisition Manager (12 month FTC)

Legl is a fast-growing B2B regtech/fintech platform on a mission to bring the legal industry into the 21st century. We’re backed by leading venture investors and are scaling rapidly in our next growth phase. Our goal is to make legal services work better for law firms and their clients. Since launching just over four years ago, we’ve partnered with more than 450 law firms, including 40 of the UK’s Top 200, and their regulated clients. The Legl team is agile, ambitious, and collaborative. We thrive on breaking down problems to their essence, understanding the customer, making quick decisions, and operating with a mindset that every day matters. For the right person, this is an opportunity to thrive, be rewarded, and work on impactful projects with talented, like-minded teammates while learning and developing at a fast pace.

The Role

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager for a 12‑month fixed‑term contract. The ideal candidate is laser‑focused on finding, attracting, and hiring the very best talent—thriving on execution and taking pride in delivering high‑quality hires, fast. You’ll spend about 70% of your time driving end‑to‑end hiring: crafting sourcing strategies, managing a best‑in‑class candidate experience, and partnering closely with hiring managers to make confident, data‑informed decisions. You’ll also play a key role in shaping the People function broadly—supporting onboarding, compliance, and initiatives that help us retain and grow our exceptional team. Join an ambitious, high‑performing People team where you’ll have a real impact on building and scaling our people engine.

What You’ll Do

• Lead full‑cycle hiring across tech and commercial roles—from brief to offer—ensuring speed, precision, and quality in every hire.
• Drive sourcing‑led recruitment with minimal agency reliance, using creativity and data to find and engage exceptional candidates in competitive markets.
• Partner with hiring managers to define what great looks like, design structured selection processes, and make evidence‑based hiring decisions.
• Own the candidate experience—delivering a consistent, transparent, and engaging journey that reflects our culture and helps close top talent.
• Deliver smooth onboarding and offboarding processes that reinforce our values and set people up for success.
• Support employer brand initiatives that tell our story and attract mission‑driven talent.
• Manage HR operations—ensuring systems, documentation, and compliance are accurate and up to date.
• Use data and feedback to identify bottlenecks, measure hiring performance, and drive improvements.
• Communicate proactively with stakeholders, building trusted relationships and ensuring alignment at every stage.

About You

• You’ve built a strong track record in end‑to‑end recruitment, likely from an agency background, and you know how to deliver at pace without compromising quality.
• You’ve hired across tech and commercial functions, ideally within scaling SaaS or VC‑backed environments.
• You’re a 10/10 executor—you roll up your sleeves, take ownership, and get things done.
• You’re strategic in how you source, assess, and close talent—creative, data‑savvy, and commercial.
• You’ve successfully managed international hiring—navigating different markets, time zones, and cultures with ease.
• You thrive in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments, balancing competing priorities with pragmatism and focus.
• You’re curious about how hiring connects to broader People priorities, but your passion is finding and securing world‑class talent.
• You communicate directly and thoughtfully, building trust and credibility across teams.
• You care about making things better, but you’re most energized by delivering results and seeing great people join the business.

What’s in it for you

• A competitive salary aligned to our high‑performance culture.
• £250 annual wellbeing budget to spend on anything that helps you be your best self.
• Access to professional therapy sessions through our wellbeing programme.
• Regular team events—from Hackathons to Summer & Winter Parties.
• The opportunity to join a well‑funded, ambitious Series B startup and make an immediate, visible impact.
