Following successful technology development and the creation of multiple working demonstrators, the business is now entering structured co-development programmes with early strategic customers and is seeking an exceptional CTO to help lead the next phase of technical and commercial growth. This role will appeal to someone who enjoys difficult multidisciplinary problems, has experience translating novel physical technologies into manufacturable systems, and wants to help shape a technically ambitious deep-tech company at a formative stage of growth. The successful candidate will work closely with the CEO, Chief Engineer and leadership team to define technology strategy, guide productisation and scale-up, shape the IP portfolio, and lead customer-facing technical engagement with strategic partners.

The title might look familiar… but life at Hedges is anything but. We know the challenges that come with risk and compliance roles in legal practice - firefighting, box-ticking, outdated systems, and being brought in after decisions are made. That’s not how we do things. At Hedges Law, we’ve reimagined the traditional model by putting decisions in the hands of the people who actually drive the business forward - including those who protect it. Here, risk and compliance isn’t a back-office function - it’s a strategic voice at the table, shaping decisions, policies and safeguards alongside people who are genuinely invested in the firm’s long-term success. And as one of the UK’s most progressive law firms, you won’t just advise the business, you’ll profit from success - no waiting around for a “Financial Freedom Day” that may never come. We also understand what drives experienced Solicitor / Lawyers — and how frustrating it can be to feel undervalued, brought in too late to influence decisions, stuck enforcing outdated processes, or held back by slow-moving leadership and limited commercial input. If that sounds familiar, it’s worth reading on. At Hedges, our people are: • Empowered (your voice genuinely shapes the business) • Valued as strategic contributors, not gatekeepers • Trusted to balance compliance with commerciality • Challenged in a progressive, forward-thinking firm • Supported with modern systems and processes • Accelerated in their development • Rewarded properly - including profit share Fancy a confidential coffee and chat (virtual or otherwise)? Ok, back to being different… We may have a 235-year heritage as a Private Client Legal Practice, but that doesn't mean we're a stale, dull & oppressive law firm like so many others. No chance. Whilst we love and embrace our heritage and history, we’ve evolved this firm with the times to become a truly 21st century business: making it our job to innovate, excite, and ensure that when future generations look at our pictures lining the wall, not only can they see what a terrific, friendly bunch we are, BUT that we were also the 'dream team', the mavericks, the leaders in the field, the game-changers: those who kept moving Hedges forward and relevant, making it one of the most beautifully different law firms of its time. Word on the street: "City Firm Quality exported to Oxfordshire & The Cotswolds". Last year was our biggest revenue year yet, and we have ambitious and exciting plans for the future - there's still so much to do and achieve, and we're not happy unless we're pushing boundaries… So, how about you come and be a part of our future and us a part of yours? The Role at a Glance Solicitor / Risk & Compliance Lead Hybrid Working 3 Days Per Week Competitive Salary Plus: Extensive Benefits Including Company Profit Share Reporting to: Managing Director Why this role matters As Head of Risk & Compliance, you’ll play a key role in shaping how the firm operates, grows, and protects its reputation.
