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

As the Senior Director of Data Analytics at Legora, you will lead the data and systems power decision-making across the company. You will be at the center of our business, owning the analytics function and the systems that enable it.

You will define our data strategy, build scalable infrastructure, and ensure teams have the insights and tools they need to operate effectively, partnering closely with leaders across Finance, GTM, Product, and Operations to turn data into a strategic advantage.

What You’ll Do
  • Define and lead the company’s analytics strategy, aligned with overall business goals

  • Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing team across analytics

  • Own the development of dashboards, reporting frameworks, and KPIs that drive decision-making across teams

  • Partner with cross-functional leaders to identify opportunities, measure performance, and unlock growth

  • Oversee the architecture, implementation, and optimization of core business systems

  • Drive automation and process improvements to increase efficiency and scalability

  • Translate complex data into clear, actionable insights for executive leadership and board-level discussions

  • Evaluate and implement new tools and technologies to support evolving business needs

What You Bring
  • Strong experience in analytics, business intelligence, and data

  • Proven experience building and scaling analytics functions in a high-growth environment

  • Strong understanding of data architecture, data modeling, and analytics best practices

  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to connect data to business outcomes

  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with experience partnering with senior leadership

  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on execution

Nice To Have

  • Experience in SaaS, fintech, or other data-driven industries

  • Familiarity with modern data stacks

  • Experience with RevOps, FP&A, or go-to-market analytics

  • Background in SQL, Python, or other data tools

  • Experience supporting executive reporting and board materials

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 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)
