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 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. 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.

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 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.
