Director of Talent Acquisition, Tech

Legora Legora · Vertical AI · London, United Kingdom · Corporate

This role is for a Director of Talent Acquisition, Tech at Legora, an AI-native company. The primary focus is on building and leading a team of Tech Talent Partners and managers to shape and scale technical hiring globally. The role requires strategic partnership with EPD leadership, building reporting and performance metrics, and owning the bar for senior technical hiring across multiple markets.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead and develop a team of Tech Talent Partners and managers across Stockholm, London, and New York. The function is growing and the structure, standards, and team capability need to scale with it.
  2. Work directly with the CTO and EPD leadership on hiring strategy and workforce planning. That means shaping how we think about technical hiring, not waiting to be handed a brief.
  3. Build the reporting, pipeline visibility, and performance metrics that give the team and its stakeholders a consistent picture of where things stand. Four markets, each moving at a different pace, need a clear view across all of them.
  4. Drive quality and consistency across Stockholm, New York, and London. Each market has its own dynamics and the approach has to reflect that.
  5. Own the bar for senior technical hiring. The priority is senior ICs and leaders in markets where the talent pool is thin. You'll need a sharp view of what excellent looks like at each level and the credibility to hold that standard when searches get difficult.
