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's TA function is entering its next chapter. As the business scales toward 1,500 people, the corporate functions supporting that growth are expanding fast across finance, people, legal, and operations. G&A at Legora is being built at the same pace as every other part of the business, in a company that has expanded into a dozen new markets in under two years and isn't slowing down. The people you'll partner with are senior leaders who are deeply invested in building their functions well and will expect the same from you. Based in New York, you'll lead G&A recruiting globally, managing a team across the US and Europe and working closely with the CFO, VP People, VP Operations, General Counsel, and CIO from day one. You'll manage managers and be accountable for everything the function produces. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Lead and develop a team of G&A Talent Partners across the US and Stockholm, setting the standard for how corporate hiring gets done and building the structure to scale alongside a headcount plan that keeps growing. * Own relationships across a broad set of senior stakeholders: the CFO, VP People, VP Operations, General Counsel, and CIO. Each has a clear view of what strong looks like in their function and you'll be the person helping them build it. * Drive consistency and quality across two markets with meaningfully different talent pools and hiring norms. The US and Europe each require a different approach and your strategy needs to reflect that. * Build the pipeline discipline, reporting, and performance metrics that give stakeholders a clear and consistent view of where hiring stands across every corporate function. * Partner with talent operations and the broader TA leadership team on tooling, process design, and cross-functional initiatives. WHAT YOU BRING You've led corporate recruiting at a company growing fast enough that the brief changed every quarter and the stakeholders had strong opinions. You know how to hold the bar across a broad remit, earn credibility with a CFO and a General Counsel in the same week, and build a team that performs consistently under pressure. We're looking for: * Meaningful experience leading G&A or corporate recruiting at a high-growth, VC-backed company, covering multiple functions rather than a single discipline. You've managed managers and built teams, not just run a desk. * The range to partner credibly with the CFO, VP People, VP Operations, General Counsel, and CIO simultaneously. You understand how each of these functions is built, you bring a point of view to those conversations, and you push back when you need to. * Multi-market experience across the US and Europe. You understand how talent markets differ on either side of the Atlantic and you build your approach accordingly. * A data-driven approach to running a function. You set targets, track the right things, and use performance data to improve rather than just report. * 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. 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.

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, and you'll play a significant part in that. You'll work closely with senior leaders from day one and play a key role in shaping how Legora hires and scales. A company growing at this pace only holds together if the people behind the scenes are exceptional. As a G&A Talent Partner, you will own hiring across our non-technical, non-GTM functions in North America. Finance, Legal, People, Operations, Marketing, and everything in between. These are the teams that keep Legora running and scaling with precision, and getting them right matters as much as any other part of the business. You are not a coordinator filling briefs. You are a strategic hiring partner in your own right, accountable for the quality and velocity of the people who hold this company together behind the scenes.

You understand how G&A functions underpin company performance, you speak the language of the leaders you partner with, and you use that fluency to advise on hiring strategy and close exceptional candidates. * The ability to hire across a range of corporate functions without losing rigour. You understand what strong looks like across Finance, Legal, Marketing, and Operations, and you build the right process for each rather than running the same search every time * 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 strong bias toward action. You build structure where none exists and move without waiting for perfect conditions * Collaborative but direct.

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. As the business scales toward 1,500 people across the US, Europe, and APAC, the volume and complexity of senior hiring is growing with it. The searches that define how the organisation is built, Senior Director and above across every function, need a dedicated owner. Based in New York, you'll build and lead Legora's executive recruiting function from the ground up, working directly with the CEO, CFO, CRO, and CTO on the searches that matter most. You'll report into the VP of Talent and hire and develop a small team as the function scales. There's no existing team or playbook to inherit. You'll define how executive hiring gets done at one of the fastest-growing companies in the AI space. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Own end-to-end executive search for Senior Director and above across Legora's functions globally, as well as critical and confidential Director-level roles that require dedicated senior attention. Running processes that are consistent, rigorous, and reflect the quality of the company you're representing. * Build and lead a small, high-performing team, hiring into the function as volume grows and setting the standard for how the team operates. * Partner with external executive search firms on the most senior leadership hires, managing those relationships and ensuring the quality and cultural alignment of every process, whether run internally or externally. * Build the infrastructure for executive recruiting at Legora: the processes, scorecards, assessment frameworks, and candidate experience that make senior hiring repeatable and scalable as the company grows across the US, Europe, and APAC. * Own relationships with the investor talent community across Legora's VC partners, leveraging those networks to surface senior talent and stay close to the best leaders in the market. * Develop a strong external network across functions and geographies, building relationships with senior talent before there's an open role, not after. * Work closely with the broader TA team to raise the standard on senior hiring across the function, sharing best practices, supporting the team on complex searches, and helping recruiters develop the skills and confidence to operate at higher levels. * Partner with reward, legal, and people operations to ensure offer processes for senior hires are handled with the speed, discretion, and attention to detail that candidates at this level expect. WHAT YOU BRING You've built executive recruiting functions before, in-house, at a search firm, or both. You know what it takes to identify, engage, and close senior leaders who aren't actively looking, and you've built the kind of trust with executives that makes this function work when it matters most. We're looking for: * Meaningful in-house executive recruiting experience at a high-growth, VC-backed company. You've hired at Senior Director and VP level and above, and you understand how the process needs to feel different at that level, from how you engage candidates to how you manage internal stakeholders through a confidential search. * The business acumen to hold credible conversations with the most senior leaders in the company. You understand how functions are built, what strong leadership looks like across different disciplines, and how to assess it. * Experience managing and developing a small recruiting team. You've hired, coached, and held people accountable, and you know how to build a function rather than just run a desk. * Existing relationships within the investor talent community, or a clear track record of building and maintaining them. You understand how to work with VC networks to surface and engage senior talent. * Experience managing relationships with external search firms, knowing when to bring them in, how to brief them well, and how to hold them to a high standard. * A track record of building trust quickly. Executive recruiting runs on relationships, internally and externally, and you've demonstrated the ability to establish credibility fast in a new environment. * The discretion and judgment that senior hiring demands. You handle confidential processes carefully, manage candidate expectations honestly, and protect the reputation of the company throughout. * A genuine interest in developing the people around you, sharing best practices with the broader TA team and helping raise the standard of senior hiring across the function. 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.
