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 be doing

This is a new role at Legora, built to support and scale our growing Legal Engineering function in the US—helping to deliver world‑class AI implementations for the world's leading law firms. It sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution — and is designed for someone who wants to be a true force multiplier for a high‑impact team.

You’ll work closely with our Strategic Programs Lead and other Legal Engineers to help turn ambitious initiatives into reality, bringing structure, momentum, and follow‑through to some of our most strategic efforts.

Some of what you’ll be up to:

• Supporting the development and execution of Legal Engineering initiatives across the US market
• Partnering with Legal Engineers to design and deliver deployment plans, including workplanning, sequencing, and execution
• Assisting in the coordination of our Legal Engineering resources for the delivery of local and cross‑border implementations and ensuring Legora best practices are followed for global consistency in delivery
• Helping launch and scale strategic initiatives within an ever‑growing Legal Engineering function
• Supporting pilots, client onboarding, and internal rollouts to ensure initiatives land effectively
• Monitoring and analysing adoption metrics via our analytics dashboards to identify friction points in the user journey and proposing strategic interventions during the implementation with the Engagement Managers
• Establishing impeccable project hygiene: You will be the custodian of our centralised project trackers, shared environments, and action logs. You’ll ensure that as we scale across the US, there is a single, perfectly maintained "source of truth" for our programs so that no detail is lost in the noise of a fast‑moving rollout
• Acting as a connective layer across teams, helping drive clarity, prioritisation, and progress
• Bringing a structured, execution‑focused mindset to ambiguous problems — and pushing work over the finish line

In short: you’ll help Legal Engineers focus on what they do best by making the overall system around them stronger, faster, and more effective.

What you bring

You’re early in your career, but already battle‑tested. You’ve worked in environments where ambiguity is the norm, expectations are high, and outcomes matter — and you thrive in them.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Have 2–3 years of experience in management consulting, strategy, or transformation / implementation‑focused roles.
• Experience within a professional services environment (Legal, Big 4, or Management Consulting) is highly preferred
• PowerPoint power‑user with a high‑velocity output and proven ability to synthesise ‘messy’ ideas into structured, aesthetic, and boardroom‑ready decks
• Bring strong analytical skills and can translate data into clear, actionable insights
• Maintain an obsession with user adoption and responding to client needs
• Have exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• Communicate clearly and confidently, with the ability to influence stakeholders across teams
• Take ownership naturally — you don't wait to be told, you move things forward
• Are a practical problem‑solver with a strong bias toward execution and operational rigor
• Bring a relentless, hands‑on, get‑it‑done mindset
• Are excited to work in person, collaborating closely with teammates in the office 5 days per week

What's in it for you

• Meaningful impact: Play a key role in shaping and scaling one of Legora's most important functions
• Steep learning curve: Exposure to legal tech, AI, strategy, and execution in a fast‑growing company
• Exceptional team: Work alongside driven, thoughtful operators and Legal Engineers
• In‑person culture: A highly collaborative office environment designed for builders
• Competitive package: Salary, benefits, and tools to help you do your best work
