Job Opportunity at Saragossa
Saragossa has recently taken investment and is entering a significant period of expansion, with plans to double its contracts over the next 24 months.
We're now looking for a Legal & Compliance Lead to take ownership of our contracts and contractor onboarding process across the UK and USA, helping ensure the business can scale effectively while maintaining the right level of commercial and legal rigour.
This is a hands-on, commercially minded opportunity for someone who enjoys operating in a fast-paced, growing environment. You'll manage the contracting process, navigate nuanced cases as they arise, advise on US classification rules and contracts, and work closely with stakeholders across the business.
You'll also manage two team members across the UK and USA, giving you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact both operationally and strategically.
Responsibilities
You'll be responsible for:
- Taking ownership of the contracting and contractor onboarding process across the UK and USA.
- Managing contracts from an operational and commercial perspective, ensuring processes can support the company's continued growth.
- Handling complex and nuanced contractual cases as they arise.
- Advising on US contractor classification rules and contracts.
- Managing and supporting two team members across the UK and USA.
- Driving projects relating to contracts, compliance and contractor operations.
- Balancing a high volume of work with strong attention to detail and sound judgement.
- Working collaboratively with senior stakeholders while taking ownership of your area.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Unlike a traditional, highly structured legal role, this is an opportunity for someone who is commercial, pragmatic and comfortable working at pace.
Requirements
We're particularly interested in candidates with experience within the recruitment industry, or someone who has worked in a similarly fast-moving, operational environment. A highly structured legal background alone is less likely to translate well into the role.

Benefits
You'll also benefit from:
- £70,000–£80,000 base salary.
- Quarterly Operations Bonus plus Annual Bonus, with OTE based on targets.
- Hybrid and flexible working.
- Opportunity to work across both the UK and US markets.
- Travel to the USA a couple of times a year.
- The same benefits available across Saragossa, including incentive trips, Wellness Fund and Quarterlies.
- Clear progression opportunities within an expanding business, including potential routes towards Director of Compliance & Legal or a broader Head of role.
- The opportunity to build and develop a function that will be increasingly important as Saragossa continues to grow.
If you're looking for a role where you can own a function, make a genuine commercial impact and grow with a business that is scaling rapidly, we'd love to hear from you.
