Hayfin is hiring a Head of Legal Operations to build and lead a new function that strengthens how Legal integrates across the business: supporting the continued growth, scale and institutionalisation of the platform.

Reporting to the Group General Counsel, you’ll design a legal operating model, improve cross‑functional processes, and free up senior legal capacity by driving efficiency, data discipline and smarter use of technology.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and embed a practical legal operations framework that supports consistent, predictable delivery across the legal function.
  • Oversee legal spend and vendor relationships, ensuring clear scoping, value for money and reliable cost management.
  • Work with Finance, HR, Partner Solutions and investment teams to streamline end‑to‑end workflows and remove operational friction.
  • Create and maintain standardised processes and documentation that support clarity, accountability and repeatable execution.
  • Set the approach for legal data governance and shape a technology roadmap that meets the needs of legal and its partner functions.
  • Lead and develop the Legal Operations team, acting as a collaborative and trusted partner across the firm.

What Success Looks Like

  • Legal spend that is predictable, well‑managed and transparent.
  • Cross‑functional workflows that are clearer, faster and easier to execute.
  • Senior lawyers spending less time on operational tasks and more time on high‑value work.
  • Processes, data and technology that scale effectively as the firm grows.

Requirements
  • Significant experience leading legal operations in a complex or regulated environment.
  • Strong background in legal spend/vendor management and cross‑functional workflow design.
  • Hands‑on experience with legal tech platforms and data/operations.
  • Collaborative, low‑ego, persuasive leader able to drive change without relying on hierarchy.
  • Commercial mindset, analytical approach and excellent communication skills.
