Job description

About This Job

We build legal drafting technology for moments that matter - when the stakes are high, the documents are complex, and speed can't come at the cost of control.

Our platform helps legal teams move faster through contracts using automation, collaboration, and AI - without taking judgment away from the lawyers who own the risk. We believe technology should amplify expertise, not replace it.

Avvoka is trusted by leading law firms, banks, and global enterprises, and we've grown through product strength and word of mouth alone. With headcount and revenue increasing by over 70% year on year, we're scaling from a product-led success into a globally recognised legal-tech brand.

We're at an inflection point: evolving how the world's most sophisticated legal teams work - and building the team that gets us there.

The role

You'll own hiring at Avvoka end to end - every function across four countries (US, UK, Czech Republic and the Philippines). We'll work together on the Headcount plan, and then it's over to you to execute it (with the wider People Teams support). You'll own everything from intakes, sourcing, engaging, interviews and offer negotiations - the full end to end Recruitment lifecycle.

There will be a particular focus on building talent communities in the Philippines for Ruby Engineers (backend) and ongoing Account Executive hiring in the legal-tech space. The dream scenario is we've filled the hiring plan and can pro-actively search for the best talent in the market, continuously adding exceptional talent to the team. I appreciate the combination of Sales and Engineering hiring in particular is niche, so the only ask is you specialise in one already, and are willing to learn the other.

We're a Series A so we won't have unlimited budgets for tooling, a huge employer brand for you to leverage or a ton of established process. There's a lot of building to be done, alongside driving impact, but we do it as one team working together.

What You'll Do

Own the search

• Run hiring end to end - intake, sourcing, assessment, offer - across the UK, US, Czech Republic, and the Philippines
• Headhunt directly for backend (Ruby) engineers and Account Executives, our two highest-volume and hardest-to-fill profiles alongside executing the wider headcount plan
• Build and keep warm a pipeline of target profiles, so we're the call they take when they're ready to move

Shape how we hire

• Partner with the People Director on recruitment strategy - sourcing channels, process design, employer brand
• Sharpen our interview process and scorecards so hiring managers make faster, better-evidenced decisions

Represent Avvoka

• Be the first voice candidates hear - and make the case for a company most of the market has yet to discover

What You'll Bring

• Proven sales or technical recruiting experience - you've hired engineers or account executives directly and can hold a credible conversation about their work
• Demonstrable Headhunting capability - you know how to find and engage people who aren't looking
• A networking instinct - you stay close to target profiles and are top of mind when they're ready to move
• Experience hiring globally, across multiple countries and time zones
• Confidence owning a role end to end without a recruitment function behind you
• The judgment to work to a plan and the pace to move when it changes
