Perhaps you’re already working within a law firm and ready for a fresh challenge.
Or maybe you’re looking for the opportunity to step up and put your HR expertise to work in a broader leadership role - one where you can genuinely shape culture, strategy, and people outcomes.
Join a prestigious international law firm in London, where you’ll play a pivotal role in driving the people agenda and bringing clarity, consistency, and innovation to HR operations.
Lex Talent is partnering with this highly regarded firm to appoint a Head of Human Resources for its 350-person London office - a size that offers the perfect balance of strategic influence and close-knit collaboration. You’ll quickly build strong relationships across the business and make a visible impact from day one.
This is an opportunity to lead from the front, add real commercial value, and become part of one of the world’s highest-performing law firms.
As Head of HR, you’ll act as a trusted adviser to Partners and senior stakeholders on all people-related matters. You’ll lead initiatives across talent acquisition, onboarding, learning and development, performance management, and employee experience, ensuring the firm continues to attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent.
You’ll champion a positive, inclusive, and high-performing culture while bringing structure and rigour to HR processes - balancing commerciality, agility, and a people-first approach.
Leading a team of 12 across HR generalist, Learning & Development, Recruitment, and Diversity & Inclusion functions, you’ll have direct access to key decision-makers and genuine influence within the business.
Importantly, you don’t necessarily need to be operating at Head of HR level already. This role could suit a strong Senior HR Manager or HR Business Partner who is ready to take the next significant step in their career within a world-class professional services environment.
