About Us

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way.

Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality.

Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design.

When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place.

We’re not just shaping the future of legal tech — we’re defining it. Ready to join us in building the intelligent future of law?

What You'll Do

• Play a key role in supporting the company’s expansion into the Canadian market, contributing to strategic growth initiatives in this region.

• Acting as a thought partner to clients - building trusted relationships, addressing tricky pain points, and identifying high-value opportunities for them to scale their use of Legora.

• Working together with Customer Success in taking full ownership of client relationship - from running pilots in the early stages, to onboarding new users, and ultimately guiding full-firm adoption across major law firms and corporate legal departments.

• Be the voice of the user inside Legora - sharing insights that directly inform product development, roadmap priorities, and strategic direction.

• Delivering clear, confident product demos and training that bring the power of our platform to life.

• Documenting best practices, contribute to the development of scalable playbooks, and help shape how we grow this function globally.

• Confidently helping our clients navigate one of the biggest shifts in how the legal business operates - from evaluating the ROI and impact of AI to clearly mapping how AI will impact different practice areas

What You Bring

You come from the world of law; but you’ve never been content with how things have always been done. You may have started out at a top-tier law firm. Maybe you’ve worked in a corporate legal team, seeing thorny operational problems from the inside. Perhaps you've even tried disrupting the status-quo through a legal tech company, or ventures of your own. Either way, you've had experience beyond the traditional legal career path. Either way, you know how legal teams think, work, and (sometimes) struggle and you're ready to help them level up with technology.

• Have a desire to bring cutting edge legal technology to the world class Canadian legal market

• Have a background in law, with experience at a top-tier firm or in-house legal team.

• Are tech-curious and product-savvy. Not necessarily a coder, but passionate navigating technical conversations, especially around things like generative AI, technology implementation, innovation and productivity .

• Communicate clearly and confidently with diverse stakeholders, both lawyers and engineers. I.e. translating across disciplines is second nature to you.

• Bring structure to ambiguity and energy to complexity; and enjoy being the calm, credible presence in a fast-moving environment.

• Understand how to evaluate and improve existing processes as a direct result of new and emerging technologies

• Are proactive, self-directed, and comfortable juggling multiple client relationships at once.

• Care deeply about quality, but don’t get stuck in perfectionism - you get things done, and you make them better over time.

What’s In It For You

• Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestic and internationally.

• Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.

• Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.

• In-person environment: Toronto office designed for ambitious builders.

• Professional License & Certification Reimbursement
