Job Description

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way. Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality. Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design. When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place. We’re not just shaping the future of legal tech — we’re defining it. Ready to join us in building the intelligent future of law?

Job Responsibility

  • Leading and scaling the Legal Engineering function in the UK, including hiring, mentoring, and developing senior Legal Engineers, and setting clear standards for quality, impact, and delivery
  • Owning the Legal Engineering strategy for the UK, aligning local execution with Legora’s global vision while adapting to market-specific needs
  • Working with global Legal Engineering Leadership to build the systems, infrastructure and operating cadences to ensure this critical global function can continue to serve clients at the highest level while scaling rapidly
  • Acting as a senior thought partner to clients, building trusted relationships with partners, GCs, and legal operations leaders, and identifying high-value opportunities to scale adoption
  • Partnering closely with Customer Success and GTM, taking shared ownership of strategic accounts — from pilots and proof-of-value to full-firm rollouts and long-term expansion
  • Serving as the voice of the user internally, ensuring client insights directly inform product decisions, roadmap priorities, and strategic direction
  • Working deeply with Product and Engineering, translating complex legal workflows into scalable, automated solutions across areas such as contract review, due diligence, compliance, and knowledge management
  • Supporting go-to-market efforts, including executive-level demos, strategic pitches, and discussions around ROI, AI adoption, and legal transformation
  • Building playbooks, frameworks, and best practices that enable the Legal Engineering function to scale globally
  • Helping clients navigate the shift to AI-driven legal work, offering credible guidance on how technology will reshape legal teams and practice areas

Requirements

  • Significant senior experience (typically 10+ years) across legal practice, legal operations, legal innovation, or legal technology
  • Experience operating at a leadership level, with experience managing teams, setting strategy, and being accountable for outcomes
  • Strong legal foundation, enabling you to engage credibly with senior lawyers, partners, and in-house leaders
  • Deeply tech-curious and product-minded, comfortable engaging in technical conversations around AI, automation, workflows, and platform capabilities
  • Understand how to design, evaluate, and improve legal processes using technology such as document automation, AI review tools, CLM platforms, and workflow systems
  • Communicate with clarity and confidence across disciplines
  • Excel at bringing structure to ambiguity, and are comfortable making judgement calls in fast-moving, high-stakes environments
  • Commercially aware, able to articulate value, ROI, and impact, and comfortable supporting sales and expansion conversations
  • Care deeply about quality and craft, while still knowing how to move fast, iterate, and improve over time
  • Take ownership naturally and operate with a founder mentality
