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.

This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role with significant autonomy. You’ll combine day-to-day recruiting with improving how we hire, bringing deep knowledge of Japan’s talent market and experience scaling teams in a technology business.

What You’ll Do

Hiring well requires a clear understanding of the business, strong candidate relationships, and the judgement to balance quality and pace. You will bring all three, taking responsibility for searches from the initial brief through to an accepted offer.

You’ll partner with leaders across the business, helping them define roles, assess talent, and make confident decisions. Alongside delivering hires, you’ll contribute to how Talent Acquisition operates in Japan and across the wider organisation.

Specifically, you will:
