Job description

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 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, 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. WHAT YOU’LL DO Scaling a company at this pace requires the right talent across every function. As a Talent Partner, you will own that directly. You are not an order-taker. You are accountable for the quality and velocity of the hires that keep Legora's infrastructure ahead of its growth. You will own end-to-end hiring across G&A functions in North America, working closely with senior leaders who are genuinely invested in building exceptional teams and trust you to shape how they do it. Specifically, you will: - Partner 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 across Finance, Legal, People, Operations, Marketing, and other Corporate teams, 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 across every function and seniority level. - Partner strategically with senior stakeholders on how teams should be structured and sequenced, not just executing briefs but shaping them with a clear point of view. - 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 G&A talent - A proven track record hiring high-performing talent across the seniority levels that matter most at this stage of growth - Genuine business acumen. 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. 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.
