About Monaco Solicitors & Grapple

Monaco Solicitors is an award-winning, tech-forward employment law firm dedicated exclusively to representing employees. With thousands of new enquiries each month, we are the UK’s largest claimant-only employment law firm. We’re known for our commitment to access to justice, our collaborative remote-first culture, and our early adoption of AI across the business. In September 2025, we launched Grapple Law - an AI-powered legal platform designed to make legal support more affordable and accessible. Think “legal ChatGPT”, but with the ability to send legal-headed correspondence and help users resolve workplace disputes.

Grapple’s growth so far

Since launch in September 2025, we have 6,000 monthly active users and we’ve secured around £1.5M in successful settlements negotiated for clients entirely by our AI, with no human lawyers. Our 700 Google & Trust Pilot reviews are nearly all 5 star.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to help us recruit across both Monaco Solicitors and Grapple. You will be involved in other projects with the recruitment being the main one.

You’ll own hiring end to end, including the plan, the pipeline and the numbers, and you’ll be accountable for getting the right people into the business across legal, operations, customer support and technology.

This is not a recruiter role - we’ve tried hiring talent acquisition specialists for it before and it hasn’t worked. We already have a well-defined recruitment process: we know how to hire the best people, and we’ll teach you all of it. What we need is someone who runs that process properly, every time. That means a high level of attention to detail, ownership of results, and the ability to get things done without being chased or managed closely. You’ll be able to bring in talent acquisition assistants to handle screening calls and other manual work, but the project and its results are yours.

We don’t expect this role to be headhunting, but you are happy to engage headhunters to help you deliver results.

There is already HR support within the business, so this role is primarily focused on hiring rather than HR.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking for a fully remote role. Flexibility and autonomy. Exposure to a fast-growing AI and legal tech business. The opportunity to own a business-critical project in a scaling company.

Key Responsibilities

• Own recruitment as a project
• Run our established hiring process consistently and to a high standard, and keep it running as volumes grow
• Own the recruitment numbers: pipeline, time to hire, conversion at each stage, cost and quality of hire, and report on them
• Work directly with CEO to agree hiring priorities and plan delivery against them
• Manage multiple live vacancies at once without anything slipping
• Bring in and manage talent acquisition assistants for screening and other manual work, and check the quality of what they deliver
• Write and post job adverts, and keep candidate communication timely and accurate
• Spot where the process, systems or reporting can be improved, and make those improvements
• Support onboarding and hiring coordination so new starters arrive set up to succeed

About You

• 4+ years’ experience as a project manager, business administrator, operations manager or in a similar role where you fully owned delivery and results
• 1+ year experience as a Senior project manager, Senior business administrator, Senior operations manager or in a similar senior role where you managed others
• Exceptional attention to detail
• Highly responsible: you deliver what you commit to without needing to be chased or micromanaged
• Comfortable owning numbers and failures and reporting on them honestly
• Happy to learn and follow an established and efficient process rather than reinventing the wheel
• Organised and able to run several workstreams in parallel in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Tech-savvy and quick to learn new tools (ATS - we use Workable, LinkedIn, spreadsheets, reporting)
• Recruitment experience is useful but not required. We’ll teach you how to hire the best people.

Why Join Us?

• Fully remote role
• Flexible working hours with real autonomy
• Opportunity to work closely with founders and senior leadership
• Be an essential part of an ambitious AI-driven legal tech growth story
• Own hiring across two rapidly growing businesses
• Friendly, collaborative, and supportive remote culture
• Exposure to cutting-edge AI adoption within the legal sector
