About the job

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.

2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.

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

We're looking for a Senior People Partner to lead the people agenda across our Legal, Operations, and People functions. Together, these teams have around 150 people today, with plans to grow to approximately 250 by the end of 2027.

You'll work closely with senior leaders across all three functions, helping them build great teams, make smart organisational decisions, and tackle the challenges of scaling a business at this pace.

This is a chance to have a real impact on how Legora grows, working with leaders who have high expectations and want a People Partner who brings ideas, challenges their thinking, and gets things done.

What You’ll Do

You'll be a trusted partner to senior leaders across Legal, Operations, and People. You'll help shape how these teams grow, develop strong leaders, and build a culture of high performance and accountability.

We're looking for someone who enjoys getting into the detail, takes ownership, and is equally comfortable thinking strategically and rolling up their sleeves.

Specifically, you will:
