Legal and Compliance Director / Senior Director

Legora

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 grew from 40 to 600 people in 18 months across Europe, the US, and APAC. The next phase is 1,500. The People systems that got the company here were right for the scale at the time. The next chapter needs an architecture built for where Legora is going: a new HRIS, a proper integration layer, and a data foundation that can support a global business. Whoever takes this role makes those calls and owns the outcome. Few companies at this stage have this much to redesign at once: rapid geographic expansion, multiple legal entities, and a People tech function that needs to keep pace with all of it. You'll report into the VP of People and own the build from day one. What You'll Do * Define the People tech architecture for the next stage of growth: system of record, integration logic, and a 12–24 month roadmap tied to headcount and geographic expansion. Own build-vs-buy-vs-configure decisions and total cost of ownership across the stack. * Own the HRIS evaluation: assess the current state, build the case for change, run the vendor RFP, scoring, reference checks, and commercial negotiation. * Lead the migration from data model design through to go-live, encoding the job architecture (levels, families, comp bands, cost centres, legal entities) so it's enforced by the system, not maintained in spreadsheets. * Own the integration layer between the HRIS, ATS (Ashby), e-signing (Ironclad), payroll providers, IdP/SSO, finance/ERP, and downstream BI. Eliminate manual re-keying across systems and build the hire-to-retire pipeline so a single lifecycle event flows through every connected system automatically. * Own People data definitions, taxonomy, quality standards, access tiers, and audit trails, including DSAR handling. Run regular integrity checks and reconciliation against Finance headcount. * Build self-service dashboards for managers and HRBPs. Support workforce planning with reliable, real-time data. * Automate onboarding, offboarding, provisioning, approval chains, and lifecycle events. Design for self-service and track where things slow down or break. * Set the AI strategy across the stack: sourcing, screening, internal copilots, and engagement signals. Own the governance framework covering bias testing, explainability, and compliance with emerging regulation. * Own data residency, GDPR, and multi-entity payroll and benefits integrations across US, UK, EMEA, and APAC, including the PEO/EOR-to-in-house transition as new markets come online. Partner with Security and IT on SOC 2 scope, access controls, and vendor security reviews. * Own the vendor portfolio: renewals, consolidation, SLAs, and strategic partner relationships. Drive consolidation where overlapping tools exist and keep the stack clean and avoid tool sprawl. * Own rollout, training, and documentation for every system change. Build the operating rhythm with HRBPs, Talent, C&B, and Finance so changes land without disruption. * Hire and lead the People Tech function over time. Define ownership boundaries with Talent, Reward, and Business Partnering so nothing falls between teams. What You Bring * Experience running a major HRIS migration in a company scaling through a similar headcount inflection point. You've done the vendor selection, the data migration, and the work of getting the job architecture right in the system. * A track record of owning the People tech stack, not just advising on it. You've made build-vs-buy calls, managed the integration layer, and taken accountability for data quality across the function. * Fluency in People data, governance, and analytics. You understand what a reliable headcount number requires to be reliable, and you've built the infrastructure to produce one. * Experience operating across multiple geographies and legal entities. GDPR, multi-country payroll integrations, and data residency requirements aren't new to you.

Multiverse

Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption. We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce. Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance. In April 2026, we announced $70 million in strategic funding, led by Schroders Capital, with participation from StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. At an increased valuation of $2.1bn, the round makes us Europe’s first EdTech double unicorn. But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output. Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era. THE ROLE Multiverse is the UK's largest apprenticeship provider and its first EdTech unicorn, and it's rebuilding on an AI-first foundation. Enterprise Trust & Reliability is the layer where that platform meets the customer, the regulator, and the investor. Our mission is to turn enterprise trust into enterprise revenue: the guardrails, integrations, and vendor relationships that let Multiverse move fast without breaking the trust that enterprise customers pay for. We're hiring our first Strategic Partnerships & Procurement Lead: the commercial operator who owns how we buy, renew, and partner on technology. You'll sit at the seam between engineering, security, legal, finance, and our vendors, and you'll turn tooling spend and partner relationships into commercial advantage. This is a high-autonomy, high-influence individual-contributor role reporting to the Senior Director of the function. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build and own strategic partnerships with the technology providers that matter most — model providers like Anthropic or ChatGPT, hyperscalers like AWS and Google, major platforms like Salesforce or Oracle, and developer and security tooling tooling vendors. Keep these relationships warm and know when to activate them. Look past cost: proactively find where a partnership can unlock real value for the business, whether that's training, co-building, product integrations, or better commercial terms. Centralise and modernise how we buy, renew, and consolidate technology, building this from a low base. That means a single software asset register, a clear intake-and-approval flow, and legal and security engaged early as a gate to clear, not a blocker to fight. Bring total cost of ownership and usage-based pricing into the open so spend maps to outcomes. Own the live threads from day one — including our LLM enterprise contracts, AI tooling, Identity platforms and other software contracts — and hold the pen on negotiations and renewals across the wider technology portfolio. Turn procurement and partnerships into a commercial lever, not a cost centre. You'll sit at the seam between engineering, security, legal and finance, influencing outcomes across teams you don't manage — so persuasion and clarity carry the role. Done well, this also becomes trust and vendor evidence that helps enterprise and regulated customers say yes faster. HOW WE WORK WITH AI At Multiverse, AI is our engine, not an add-on. In this seat that's literal: you'll be buying, negotiating, and partnering on the exact tools that make it true, and modelling what they cost and what they return. We expect you to use AI daily in your own work — from drafting and comparing contracts to analysing spend — and to be genuinely curious about a tooling and AI-provider market that looks different every quarter. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR You've built and grown relationships with major technology partners— AWS, Google, Salesforce, Anthropic-type organisations — and can point to commercial impact you unlocked, not just costs you cut. You're comfortable inside a procurement process too: you've negotiated and renewed software, cloud, or SaaS contracts and can speak to the trade-offs you made, you understand consumption-based pricing, and you're at ease driving a decision across security, legal and finance without owning those teams. But procurement isn't the whole story for you — you think about what a vendor relationship can build, not just what it costs, and you treat compliance as a lever rather than a blocker. You're technically literate enough to challenge a vendor's claim without being an engineer, and comfortable navigating an engineering and product environment rather than operating purely from the business side. We're looking for AI acumen too: you understand the competitive AI landscape — Anthropic, Google, AWS and others — well enough to advise on real strategic calls, like whether our current AI partner remains the right long-term one. What this role isn't. This is an internal commercial seat, not a sales role: no quota, no pipeline, no external revenue target. Your customers are our engineers and the business. You don't need to be an engineer (technical fluency, not technical depth), and you won't manage people from day one — this is a senior individual-contributor role that earns a team by proving the function. YOUR FIRST NINE MONTHS Months one to three: map the estate. Every technology contract, renewal date and owner in one place; a single software asset register; a clear picture of spend across tokens, seats and cloud. Get on top of the live threads such as our LLM enterprise contracts, our identity tooling, developer tools, and cross-organisational threads — and start spotting quick wins, like renegotiating spend with an existing supplier. Months four to six: stand up the buy, renew and consolidate process with security and legal engaged early. Land a first consolidation or renegotiation win — for example, a usage-backed recommendation that settles a tooling question. Start growing the strategic side: identify where partnerships can bring value beyond commercial terms, whether that's training, co-building, or product integrations. Benefits * Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 5 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days, 2 company-wide wellbeing days (M-Powered Weekend) and 8 bank holidays per year * Health & Wellness- private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Wellhub and access to Spill - all in one mental health support * Hybrid work offering - for most roles we collaborate in the office three days per week with the exception of Coaches and Instructors who collaborate in the office once a month * Work-from-anywhere scheme - you'll have the opportunity to work from anywhere, up to 10 days per year * Space to connect: Beyond the desk, we make time for weekly catch-ups, seasonal celebrations, and have a kitchen that’s always stocked!
