We building drafting technology that's transforming the way the world contracts - our platform helps legal teams move faster through contracts using automation and AI, without taking judgement away from the lawyers in control. We believe technology should amplify expertise, not replace it.
Avvoka is trusted by over 20% of the AmLaw 100 law firms, global banks and enterprises, and we've grown largely through product strength. With headcount and revenue contuining to scale rapidly year on year, we're now moving from a product-led path 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 a company where thoughtful people can do the best work of their careers.
You’ll own hiring that directly shapes Avvoka’s next stage of growth — partnering with leaders across the business to bring in the people who will define our product, commercial traction, and customer experience. This role gives you meaningful autonomy: you’ll run end-to-end hiring, influence how we evaluate talent, and build repeatable, high-signal processes that scale with us.
You’ll join a team that cares about craft and outcomes: tight feedback loops, clear hiring decisions, and a candidate experience that reflects Avvoka’s values. You’ll have space to improve how we do recruitment (not just “fill roles”), and you’ll work closely with stakeholders who want a trusted partner, not a CV service.
At the company level, we’re building a globally recognised legal-tech brand at a moment where the market is moving fast — AI is changing expectations, and sophisticated legal teams are demanding better tooling. That means your impact is visible: better hiring = better product and faster growth.
