Director of Talent Acquisition, GTM

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 is hiring our first dedicated Operations Manager, Post Merger Integration and Mergers and Acquisition to build our global integration function from scratch. This is a high-visibility, founding operator role reporting to the Director of Operations. You will own the integration lifecycle end-to-end—from pre-sign diligence through the first 100 days—turning a live portfolio of deals into a repeatable global machine. Given our pace of growth, the scope of this role will naturally evolve over time. We're looking for a builder who sees ambiguity as an opportunity, values collective team success, and is genuinely happy to dive into special projects outside of these exact responsibilities when needed. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Translate the deal thesis into an integration plan with clear owners, milestones, risks, and decision points. * Own execution from day-1 readiness through close-out, keeping acquired teams productive and retained. * Serve as a trusted partner to acquired teams, helping them navigate Legora and keep their momentum. * Build repeatable diligence and integration playbooks that improve with every deal. * Coordinate function owners across People, Legal, Finance, IT, Product, and GTM, and drive trade-offs to decisions. * Partner with deal teams from diligence onward: assess integration readiness, flag people, product, and operational risks, and give go/no-go input before signing. * Track integration progress and retention, and communicate risks and recommendations to executive stakeholders. WHAT YOU BRING * 8+ years of experience, with at least 2 years leading M&A integrations hands-on. * A path that combines analytical training with operating experience: the classic arc is banking or consulting into corporate development into an operator seat, but we welcome other routes that build the same muscles. * Experience with talent- and product-driven acquisitions, where retention of the acquired team defines success. * Strong operating judgment and the ability to move fluidly between strategy and execution. * Executive presence and backbone: you build trust quickly and drive outcomes through influence rather than authority. * Comfort building structure in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. Strong Candidates May Also * Have cross-border deal experience, including employment, equity, and entity questions. * Bring the technical fluency to evaluate technical organizations and work credibly with engineering and product leadership. * Have built integration playbooks, templates, or repeatable processes from scratch. * Come from a startup or hyper-growth environment. 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. * Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision * Multiple medical plan options through 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 Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work. We welcome people of all backgrounds and don’t discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

The Role We’re seeking a Director of Communications based in New York City to build and scale Legora’s external narrative in North America across press, exec communications, thought leadership, and strategic storytelling. You’ll own how we show up publicly — shaping the stories, messages, and moments that define the category and cement Legora as the most credible and exciting voice in AI for legal work. Reporting to the VP Communications in Stockholm, you’ll be embedded with the local Marketing and GTM teams, and work closely with teams across Marketing, Product, GTM, Legal, and Leadership, to translate what we’re building — and why it matters — into narratives that resonate with customers, media, talent, partners, and the broader industry. You’re a storyteller with precision, taste, and the ability to translate complexity into clarity. You thrive at the intersection of strategy and craft — able to zoom out to narrative architecture and zoom in to sentence-level detail. You’re fast, structured, and obsessed with building trust through truth. Communications is one of Legora’s most strategic levers for shaping the category. In a space full of noise and speculation, credibility is currency — and narrative discipline is a competitive advantage. The stories you create will influence how the industry understands AI for legal work, and why Legora is defining the frontier. If we succeed, it will be because our story is clear, our voice is trusted, and our narrative sets the pace for the category — not the other way around. What You’ll Do COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY & NARRATIVE DEVELOPMENT * Build and execute Legora’s communications strategy for North America across earned channels. * Define messaging frameworks that clarify our category, technology, and customer value. * Develop and protect a consistent narrative that scales across teams and touch-points. MEDIA RELATIONS & PRESS OPERATIONS * Cultivate strong relationships with reporters covering AI, business, technology, and the legal industry. * Own the end-to-end press pipeline: pitches, briefings, media kits, and press activation moments. * Prepare spokespeople with clear talking points, briefing documents, and ongoing narrative coaching. EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS * Partner directly with Leadership to craft high-signal external comms: speeches, op-eds, keynote scripts, long-form posts, and interviews. * Ensure a consistent voice across channels, reinforcing credibility, clarity, and category leadership. THOUGHT LEADERSHIP & CONTENT CREATION * Turn complex ideas (AI capabilities, legal workflows, customer adoption, product architecture) into accessible, compelling stories. * Develop long-form narrative assets: white-papers, announcements, deep dives, and industry POVs. * Develop campaigns around launches, milestones, and category moments. ISSUES MANAGEMENT & STRATEGIC POSITIONING * Monitor category conversations, emerging risks, competitive narratives, and external debates. * Advise leadership on communications decisions that require nuance, judgment, and speed. * Ensure Legora shows up with truth, clarity, and authority. MEASUREMENT & OPTIMIZATION * Build a measurement framework for communications impact across reach, sentiment, share of voice, and narrative resonance. * Run experiments with formats, channels, and message angles — scaling what moves the needle. * Maintain a library of messaging, resources, and reusable story assets. What You Bring * 5–7+ years of experience in communications, PR, editorial, or strategic narrative roles — ideally in high-growth, technical, or product-led environments. * Demonstrated experience owning press narratives and securing coverage that shapes perception. * Excellent writing, editing, and storytelling skills with an ability to simplify complexity. * Ability to build repeatable messaging frameworks and communication systems. * Experience preparing executives for media, speeches, or public commentary. * Analytical mindset with the ability to measure sentiment, coverage quality, and message pull-through. * Fluent English communication skills. 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. * Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision * Multiple medical plan options through 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 Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience.

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. Nowhere is that more true than in New York, where the engineering org is targeting 60 hires by year end and a site that will exceed 100 engineers by the end of next year. Based in New York, you'll lead tech recruiting across Legora's US Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) hub, managing a team of Tech Talent Partners and working closely with the engineering and product leadership building out the site. You'll report into the Director of Tech Recruiting and be accountable for the quality, pace, and consistency of EPD hiring across the market. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Lead and develop a team of Tech Talent Partners in New York, setting the standard for how Engineering, Product, and Design hiring gets done locally and building the capacity to keep pace with one of Legora's fastest-growing sites. * Own the relationship with New York EPD leadership as a genuine hiring partner, contributing to role scoping, success profiles, and hiring strategy rather than waiting to be handed a brief. * Build and maintain proactive talent pipelines for senior ICs and engineering leaders, staying ahead of demand in a market where the best candidates have no shortage of options. * Build Legora's technical brand in the New York market, running local events, engaging the engineering community, and establishing Legora as a destination for the best EPD talent in the city. * Run structured, data-informed hiring processes that maintain a consistently high bar across pace and quality, and give hiring managers a clear picture of where searches stand. * Hold the standard for candidate experience across your team, from first conversation through to offer, making sure every interaction reflects the quality of the product and the people behind it. * Partner closely with the Director of Tech Recruiting and the broader TA team on cross-market initiatives, tooling, and process consistency across all four engineering hubs. WHAT YOU BRING You've managed technical recruiting teams before at a company where the engineering bar was high and the hiring plan changed every quarter. You know what strong looks like at senior IC and engineering leader level, and you've built the kind of credibility with engineering leaders that means they come to you rather than around you. We're looking for: * Meaningful experience managing tech recruiters at a high-growth, VC-backed company. You've led a team, developed individual contributors, and been accountable for outcomes rather than just activity. * The depth to hold credible conversations with engineering and product leaders about what strong looks like at each level. You understand the difference between a good CV and a good hire in technical roles. * Experience building proactive pipelines for senior technical talent in the New York market. You know the landscape, how to source effectively, and what it takes to close candidates who have options. * Experience building employer brand presence in a local technical market, whether through events, community engagement, or broader outreach. You understand that closing great engineers starts long before a role opens. * A structured, data-driven approach to running searches. You track the right things, use pipeline data to make decisions, and keep hiring managers informed without being chased. * 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. * Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision * Multiple medical plan options through 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 Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience.
