At Saga, we're building the intelligence that helps lawyers think faster, work smarter, and stay in control of their craft. We are a global team brought together by the belief that technology should serve people, not replace them. That belief shapes how we build our product, how we work together, and how we grow as a company. As we scale across countries and teams, culture becomes even more important. How we lead, how we learn, and how people experience working here will define our success just as much as our technology. That is why we are opening a leading people role at the heart of our organisation.

Your role as Senior HR Business Partner

You will architect the people infrastructure that enables Saga to grow without losing what makes us special. You work where business strategy meets human experience, partnering with the CEO and management team to translate ambitious company goals into actionable people strategies, then building the structures and practices that bring them to life. You are equally comfortable challenging leadership on difficult decisions and coaching managers through everyday complexities. This role requires someone who can hold tension well, between moving fast and building right, between business needs and individual growth, between consistency and flexibility. You see trade-offs clearly and make decisions that serve both the company and its people. This position is structured to evolve into a Head of People & Culture role as the organization matures quickly.

• Build the HR infrastructure that scales with Saga: establish our people & culture roadmap, design our annual people cycles, and create performance frameworks that drive growth
• Partner with our leadership team on organizational design, workforce planning, compensation strategy, and people decisions that shape the business
• Set up and refine the operational foundations: international payroll structures, salary frameworks, role architecture, and the systems that support a remote-first organization across time zones
• Develop managers into confident leaders who can build strong teams, have difficult conversations, celebrate wins and create environments where people get to do their best work

What you bring to our team

You’re a builder. You understand that strong People & Culture work lives at the intersection of strategy and execution. You’ve brought structure into messy environments before and know the difference between process that enables and process that slows teams down. You read the room, challenge with respect, and don’t shy away from difficult calls when needed.

• Solid experience as an HR Business Partner or generalist in a fast-moving environment. You’ve helped build people foundations in international companies going through real growth and change
• You’ve built people foundations in environments where little was in place. You assess what exists, spot what’s missing, and bring structure without overengineering
• Strong business acumen. You connect people decisions to company outcomes and navigate trade-offs with confidence
• A pragmatic mindset and genuine curiosity. You’re comfortable using technology and AI to improve how work gets done
• The courage to have hard conversations. You name what others avoid, challenge leadership thinking, and guide teams through change

Why join Saga

You’ll join at a moment where the product is strong, but how we show it to the world is still being built. That means real ownership. Saga offers a rare opportunity to shape the people function at a company that values craft, autonomy, and human judgment. You will have real influence, direct access to leadership, and the mandate to build something meaningful. We also offer:

• A competitive base salary, aligned with your experience and local market standards
• Meaningful impact from day one, your work directly shapes how legal work is experienced and delivered in practice
• A high level of ownership and autonomy, with the trust to experiment, build, and push ideas forward
• A collaborative, design-driven environment where craft, quality, and thoughtful execution are genuinely valued
• Regular team lunches and Friday drinks at one of our social hubs, time to connect beyond day-to-day work

If all this sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
