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.

Key Responsibilities:

Own and manage the end-to-end recruitment process for a range of roles - especially high-volume and high-impact positions
Build strong partnerships with hiring managers to deeply understand team goals, define role requirements, and shape hiring

plans that support our scale

Hiring manager talent capability and also data as well
Proactively source top talent using a mix of channels - job boards, LinkedIn, events and referrals
Champion the use of AI and automation in recruitment, helping to identify, test, and roll out tools that streamline sourcing,

screening, and candidate engagement

Continuously experiment with and refine sourcing strategies using data, hiring metrics, and feedback loops
Deliver an exceptional candidate experience at every stage of the funnel - from first message to first day
Embed our values in every hiring touchpoint, acting as a true ambassador of our culture
Represent Octopus Legacy at career fairs, industry events, and online communities to build our employer brand
Help shape and improve our recruitment processes, content, and playbooks as we scale
Ensure accurate tracking and reporting in our ATS (Greenhouse), and keep the engine running with clean data
Partner on onboarding to ensure every new hire feels welcome, aligned, and ready to hit the ground running
Partner with hiring managers to build their talent capability, coaching them on structured interviewing, assessment, and

calibration so hiring decisions are consistent and high-quality.

Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers throughout the process, challenging and guiding where needed rather than simply

taking briefs.

Use recruitment data to drive decisions and tell a story , tracking metrics like time-to-hire, pipeline conversion, source

effectiveness, and offer-acceptance rates, and using those insights to improve process and influence stakeholders.

Report on hiring performance and share data-led recommendations with the wider team and leadership.

Who Are You?

A proven track record of getting things done in fast-paced environments - ideally in a high-growth startup or scale-up
5+ years of in-house experience
Experienced in high volume recruitment
You’re a proactive, hands on problem solver
You have a growth mindset, a hunger to learn, and the resilience to thrive when things move fast or change often
You’re a confident communicator and relationship builder - you know how to earn trust with hiring managers, and you make

candidates feel at ease

You thrive in chaos, managing multiple roles and priorities without dropping the ball
You’re excited about using AI and modern tools to hire smarter, faster, and more effectively
You care deeply about people and culture, and you instinctively hire with values in mind
You bring energy, optimism, and curiosity to everything you do

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.

Benefits:

Octopus share incentive scheme.
Hybrid working (London Bridge).
Flexible holiday + extra day off for your Birthday.
Work from anywhere in the world for up to 4 weeks per year.
Vitality Health & Life Insurance.
Pension scheme.
Enhanced parental leave.
Free Will & LPAs + discounts on other Octopus services.
Cycle to Work Scheme and access to the Electric Vehicle (EV) Salary Sacrifice Scheme.
Octopus Giving: we match any charitable fundraising that you do up to £500.
Octopus Springboard: where we help our employees become fully-fledged entrepreneurs.
Dog friendly office.
Breakfast every day, snacks and wellness activities.

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.
