This is a senior, high-impact leadership role with real ownership. You’ll set the direction for technical accounting and external reporting, partner closely with cross-functional leaders, and help define how financial information is prepared, reviewed, and communicated as the company scales. WHAT YOU'LL DO You’ll work closely with Accounting, FP&A, Tax, Legal, and Investor Relations to lead high-quality financial reporting and build scalable, repeatable processes. From close through external reporting, you’ll own outcomes while raising the bar on rigor, clarity, and efficiency. More than that, we believe you will thrive by taking ownership of: * Owning end-to-end financial statements and disclosures, including GAAP financials, footnotes, rollforwards, tie-outs, and supporting schedules * Leading external audit strategy and execution, serving as the primary point of contact for auditors and driving high-quality, on-time delivery * Overseeing complex technical accounting areas, including stock-based compensation, business combinations, leases, capitalized software, and other judgment-heavy estimates * Leading technical accounting research and review of memos to support accounting conclusions, disclosures, and policy decisions * Driving SEC and public-company reporting readiness, including building processes and documentation to support future 10-Q, 10-K, and other filings * Partnering with FP&A, Legal, and Investor Relations to align financial results, KPIs, and materials for leadership, board, and external stakeholders * Translating complex accounting matters into clear disclosures, executive-level narratives, and decision-ready communications * Designing and scaling reporting processes, controls, and automation to improve accuracy, efficiency, and audit readiness * Supporting M&A activity, including due diligence, purchase accounting, and post-transaction integration * Leading and mentoring team members, setting standards for technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement WHAT YOU BRING You’re a seasoned accounting leader who pairs deep technical expertise with strong judgment and a hands-on mindset.

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 has grown from 40 to more than 600 people in 18 months. During that time, we reached $100M ARR, tripled our valuation in five months, and continued expanding into new markets around the world. Our Talent Acquisition function is now entering its next chapter. The processes, standards, and hiring approach that support our next phase of growth are being built today, which you’ll play a significant part in. You'll work closely with senior leaders from day one and play a key role in shaping how Legora hires and scales. WHAT YOU’LL DO Product velocity depends on having the right engineering and technical talent in place, fast, and at a high bar. As a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, you will own that directly. You are not a support function for the Engineering, Product, Design (EPD) team. You bring genuine craft to how technical hiring gets done, and you're accountable for the quality and pace of the people who build Legora's product. You will own end-to-end hiring across EPD in the US, working closely with senior leaders who are genuinely invested in recruiting, trusted to make high-impact decisions on hiring and team composition. Specifically, you will: * Own full-cycle recruitment across the US, partnering closely with hiring managers to define role scope, success profiles, and hiring strategies aligned to business priorities. * Help shape how Talent operates at Legora, contributing beyond hiring to process design, programs, tooling, and broader People initiatives. * Build and nurture proactive talent pipelines for critical and future hiring needs, ensuring we stay ahead of demand rather than reacting to it. * Run structured, data-informed hiring processes that balance quality, pace, and consistency while maintaining a high bar for talent. * Deliver an exceptional candidate experience from first conversation through to offer, acting as a trusted and credible ambassador for Legora throughout. WHAT YOU BRING You understand that hiring decisions are business decisions, and you hold yourself accountable to the same outcomes as the teams you hire for. You're hands-on, sharp, and trusted by senior leaders to shape teams that win. We're looking for:   * 5+ years in talent acquisition in a high-growth environment, startup, scaleup, or VC-backed company, with meaningful depth hiring EPD talent. * A proven track record hiring high-performing EPD talent across the seniority levels that matter most at this stage of growth. * The ability to hold a credible conversation with an engineering or product leader about what strong looks like. You understand the difference between a good CV and a good hire in technical roles, and you don't lower the bar when searches get hard. * Experience partnering with senior stakeholders on hiring strategy and team build-out, not just executing briefs, but shaping them. * The ability to run multiple complex searches without losing quality or pace. * Comfortable in ambiguity with a bias toward action. You build a structure where none exists and move without waiting for perfect conditions. * Collaborative but direct. You influence and challenge senior stakeholders when needed, and you drive decisions rather than defer them. 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.
