Job summary

Legora in New York is building an AI Enablement function to empower every team to build, use, and govern AI effectively. The role is high-ownership and generalist, combining strategy, delivery, and people work across the organization.

You will manage engineers, translate business needs into action, and become the go-to AI authority while shaping governance and training programs. This office‑based role emphasizes collaboration and impact.

Qualifications

• A few years in a fast-moving environment: ops, strategy, product, consulting, program management.
• Genuinely AI-native, or clearly on the way: you reach for AI tools by default and want to go deeper.
• True generalist: comfortable switching between strategy, delivery, and people work in the same day.
• Exceptional learning speed: you get to depth on unfamiliar things fast and take feedback in quickly.
• Strong communicator with a low-ego, collaborative style.
• Someone who enjoys being in the office 5 days a week. A key component of Legora's success has been in-person collaboration and we want you to be part of that.
• Nice To Have: Technical foundation: engineering degree (or equivalent), with enough coding exposure to hold your own with engineers.
• Exposure to legal, GTM, or a regulated / high-trust environment.
• Experience with agent platforms, workflow tools, or no/low-code AI.
• A track record of starting something from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate builds with engineers, translating between business needs and technical direction.
• Run training, workshops, and documentation that help teams adopt AI.
• Build and grow an AI champions program across the org.
• Be the day-to-day support that makes enablement actually land.
• Draft and operationalize guidelines, access policies, and usage guardrails.
• Put the standards in place that let us move fast safely.
• Across all three, you'll act as a connector, building relationships and touchpoints that make the function visible and trusted.

Job description

About Us

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.

Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.

2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.

We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.

Joining Legora means three things.

• We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
• We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
• We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.

If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

The Role

AI is reshaping how legal work gets done, and at Legora we're not just watching that happen. We're building it from the inside.

Our AI Enablement function exists to make sure every team at Legora can build, use, and govern AI well. The function is young, the mandate is broad, and right now it's one person. You'd be joining to own a significant slice of that work: managing engineers, translating business needs into action, and becoming the go-to for anything AI across the organization.

This is a high-ownership generalist seat for someone energized by ambiguity who would rather figure it out and ship than wait for a perfect brief.

What You'll Be Doing

We operate across three streams, and you'll own initiatives in all of them, from rough idea to shipped result.

Build

• Coordinate agent and internal tool builds with engineers, keeping projects moving and translating between business needs and technical direction.

Enable

• Run training, workshops, and documentation that help teams adopt AI.
• Build and grow an AI champions program across the org.
• Be the day-to-day support that makes enablement actually land.

Govern

• Draft and operationalize guidelines, access policies, and usage guardrails.
• Put the standards in place that let us move fast safely.

Across all three, you'll act as a connector, building the relationships and touchpoints that make the function visible and trusted.

Who You Are

• A few years in a fast-moving environment: ops, strategy, product, consulting, program management, or similar. Shape matters more than title.
• Genuinely AI-native, or clearly on the way: you reach for AI tools by default and want to go deeper.
• True generalist: comfortable switching between strategy, delivery, and people work in the same day.
• Exceptional learning speed: you get to depth on unfamiliar things fast and take feedback in quickly.
• Strong communicator with a low-ego, collaborative style.
• Someone who enjoys being in the office 5 days a week. A key component of Legora's success has been in-person collaboration and we want you to be part of that.

Nice To Have

• Technical foundation: engineering degree (or equivalent), with enough coding exposure to hold your own with engineers.
• Exposure to legal, GTM, or a regulated / high-trust environment.
• Experience with agent platforms, workflow tools, or no/low-code AI.
• A track record of starting something from scratch.

What Success Looks Like (The First 6 Months)

• You're independently owning initiatives end-to-end across all three streams.
• You've taken real ground on at least one initiative in each stream.
• You're a go-to person for questions on AI Enablement at Legora.

What's In It For You

• Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Stockholm, New York, London, and Sydney.
• Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
• Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
• In-person environment: Union Square office in New York, designed for ambitious builders, and company provided lunch daily.
• Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision
  • Multiple medical plan options via Aetna and Kaiser Permanente
  • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)
  • Dental plans via MetLife
  • Vision plans via Vision Care

Family Support

• Generous parental leave
• Free access to Maven Clinic
• Dependent Care FSA
• Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents

Additional Perks

• Pre-tax commuter benefits
• Life Insurance + STD/LTD
• 401(K) with generous company match
• Unlimited PTO
• Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more
