The Company
We’re Octopus Legacy: one of the fastest growing tech companies in the country, part of the UK’s most exciting and best-trusted
group (you may have heard of some of our sister companies…) and we have a mission.
We’re on a path to scale, aiming to become a household name while transforming a long-established industry and helping our
customers prepare for, and find support after, death.
But we can’t do it alone, and that’s why we’re assembling a team of top performers to build with us.
Ready to be part of something big?
The Role
At Octopus Legacy, we’re on a mission to make end-of-life planning simple and accessible for everyone. As a fast-growing startup,
we’re scaling quickly – and hiring exceptional people is at the heart of that journey.
We’re looking for our second recruiter to join the team and work alongside (and report into) the Head of People. This is a
hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll help us build a world-class team at speed. You’ll need to be scrappy, creative, and driven
by outcomes.
This is not your typical talent role – we’re looking for someone who’s excited by innovation, comfortable experimenting, and
passionate about leveraging technology, especially AI, to reimagine how great hiring is done.
You’ll play a key role in embedding AI-driven recruitment tools and strategies across the funnel - from intelligent sourcing and
automated CV screening to smart scheduling and even AI-assisted interviewing. We want someone who’s not just willing to try new
things, but eager to lead the charge in transforming traditional hiring practices.
Most importantly, you’ll need to deeply align with our values of optimism, hard work, and customer-first thinking. These aren’t
just words on a wall – they guide every decision we make, and we’re looking for someone who truly embodies them.

Our Mission
When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and
turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you
while you're here. And after you're gone.
Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we’re a group of people who work in death because we’ve been affected by it. We know
the difference a good plan makes, and what it’s like when there isn’t one.
Death can come between us, leave mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also make us stronger. We see a world where people talk
openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We’re here to make that world happen.
We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us. That is why Octopus Legacy is committed to creating
an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
