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 hiring an Internal Audit Manager to own our Business Process (BP) SOX controls program. You'll sit close to Finance and Internal Audit leadership, owning the risk assessment that shapes our controls universe and building testing processes from scratch. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who wants to build a program, not just run one. You'll be the primary coordinator with external audit and our co-source partner, and you'll bring a modern, tech-forward lens — actively applying AI to reduce manual testing effort and find efficiencies as the function scales. ## What You’ll Do You'll work closely with Finance, process owners, external audit, and our co-source partner to build a rigorous, efficient business process controls program from the ground up.
