Talent Acquisition Partner- Tech
We're looking for a technically minded, commercially sharp Talent Acquisition Partner to own Product and Engineering hiring at
Sparta. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who lives and breathes technical recruiting — someone who understands
engineers and product managers, knows how to find, engage, assess and vet them, and wants to build something from the ground up in
a fast-moving scale-up.
You'll own end-to-end tech recruitment across Engineering and Product, partnering directly with our CTO, CPO, and VP of
Engineering. You'll deliver on live roles while also building the pipelines, networks, and employer brand presence that puts
Sparta on the map in the tech talent community. This isn't a maintenance role- it's a builder role.
We're keen for this role to be based in London, Barcelona or Madrid, spending time with our Engineering & Product team in the
office 2 - 3 days a week.

People who understand the mission don't need to be managed.
Make them, ship, iterate. Perfection is the enemy of efficiency. Bias for action means moving before you have all the answers, but
it isn't recklessness. The rule: tell the rest of us what you did, what changed, what you learned.

true, not to win the room. If your idea gets killed because a better one shows up, that's the system working.

Company introduction: Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) is a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health. The Company is headquartered in London, UK, with offices in New York City in the US. We focus on developing novel treatments that have the potential to improve the lives of those who are suffering with mental health conditions and who are not helped by current treatments. We are pioneering a new paradigm for treating mental health conditions focused on rapid and durable responses through the development of our investigational COMP360 synthetic psilocybin treatment, potentially a first in class treatment. COMP360 has Breakthrough Therapy designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has received Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) designation in the UK for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) due to the pressing unmet need in this area. We are currently in phase 3 for TRD, have completed phase 2 studies for both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anorexia nervosa and are planning a further late-stage study in PTSD. We envision a world where mental health means not just the absence of illness but the ability to thrive. - Compass Pathways.

ABOUT US Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes. 1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview. We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law. Joining Legora means three things. * We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions. * We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback. * We grow together: as a team and with our customers. Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place. The Role Legora has grown from 40 to more than 600 people in 18 months. During that time, we reached $100M ARR, tripled our valuation in five months, and continued expanding into new markets around the world. Our Talent Acquisition function is now entering its next chapter. The processes, standards, and hiring approach that support our next phase of growth are being built today, which you’ll play a significant part in. You'll work closely with senior leaders from day one and play a key role in shaping how Legora hires and scales. 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, Product, Design (EPD) 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 EPD 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 EPD talent. * A proven track record hiring high-performing EPD talent across the seniority levels that matter most at this stage of growth. * The ability to hold a credible conversation with an engineering or product 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.
