• Drive consistency and quality across two markets with meaningfully different talent pools and hiring norms.

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.

1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.

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

Legora's TA function is entering its next chapter. As the business scales toward 1,500 people, the corporate functions supporting that growth are expanding fast across finance, people, legal, and operations.

G&A at Legora is being built at the same pace as every other part of the business, in a company that has expanded into a dozen new markets in under two years and isn't slowing down. The people you'll partner with are senior leaders who are deeply invested in building their functions well and will expect the same from you.

Based in New York, you'll lead G&A recruiting globally, managing a team across the US and Europe and working closely with the CFO, VP People, VP Operations, General Counsel, and CIO from day one. You'll manage managers and be accountable for everything the function produces.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and develop a team of G&A Talent Partners across the US and Stockholm, setting the standard for how corporate hiring gets done and building the structure to scale alongside a headcount plan that keeps growing.




• Own relationships across a broad set of senior stakeholders: the CFO, VP People, VP Operations, General Counsel, and CIO. Each has a clear view of what strong looks like in their function and you'll be the person helping them build it.




• Drive consistency and quality across two markets with meaningfully different talent pools and hiring norms. The US and Europe each require a different approach and your strategy needs to reflect that.




• Build the pipeline discipline, reporting, and performance metrics that give stakeholders a clear and consistent view of where hiring stands across every corporate function.




• Partner with talent operations and the broader TA leadership team on tooling, process design, and cross-functional initiatives.

What You Bring

You’ve led corporate recruiting at a company growing fast enough that the brief changed every quarter and the stakeholders had strong opinions. You know how to hold the bar across a broad remit, earn credibility with a CFO and a General Counsel in the same week, and build a team that performs consistently under pressure.

We're looking for:

• Meaningful experience leading G&A or corporate recruiting at a high-growth, VC-backed company, covering multiple functions rather than a single discipline. You've managed managers and built teams, not just run a desk.




• The range to partner credibly with the CFO, VP People, VP Operations, General Counsel, and CIO simultaneously. You understand how each of these functions is built, you bring a point of view to those conversations, and you push back when you need to.




• Multi-market experience across the US and Europe. You understand how talent markets differ on either side of the Atlantic and you build your approach accordingly.




• A data-driven approach to running a function. You set targets, track the right things, and use performance data to improve rather than just report.




• A hiring bar that doesn't move under pressure. When searches get hard, you change the approach, not the standard.

What’s In It For You

• Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.




• 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 designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.



•
