We’re looking for an Office Manager to own and operate Legora’s London office, ensuring it runs smoothly and efficiently while aligning with our culture of excellence, speed, and care. This role exercises independent judgment and discretion on significant operational matters, including vendor selection, budget oversight, and decisions that directly impact office operations, employee experience, and business continuity. The Office Manager will be responsible for anchoring new office openings to the standard of excellence set in our Stockholm headquarters, with travel expected during go-live periods and sporadic upkeep. This position offers meaningful growth for the right candidate—someone who can build scalable systems, lead through expansion, and help shape the operational foundation of our UK presence. You will be the first point of contact for everyone visiting the London office, ranging from candidates to CEOs and law firm partners, and the primary on-site decision maker for all office-related needs in London, while reporting into our Operations team in Stockholm. This is a hands-on work across workspace strategy, vendor and contract management, budget oversight, logistics, onboarding support, and day-to-day employee experience. You will proactively identify issues, make informed decisions, and implement solutions that support Legora’s rapid growth in the UK.
