## 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.

1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.

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

As Lead Legal Engineer, you’ll operate as a player-coach: leading Legora’s most complex and high-impact client engagements while managing and developing a team of Legal Engineers. You’ll combine deep legal knowledge, product expertise, and people leadership to drive adoption, accelerate time-to-value, and deliver measurable outcomes across your clients and your team.

## What You'll Do

- Leading enterprise-level pilots and implementations across multiple stakeholders and products, from discovery through go-live, with clear success metrics.
- Owning priority client use cases end-to-end, shaping scalable onboarding and implementation frameworks.
- Acting as a senior thought partner to clients, building trusted relationships with partners, legal ops, and innovation leaders.
- Delivering executive-level demos, workshops, and presentations, clearly articulating value and handling complex objections.
- Influencing internal teams (Product, Go-to-Market, Customer Success) on implementation strategy, setup, and handover.
- Representing the voice of the customer, surfacing product gaps with evidence and driving them through to resolution.
- Building and refining team processes, systems, and operating rhythms that scale delivery quality and team effectiveness as the Legal Engineering function grows.
- Providing ongoing coaching, feedback, and career development support to drive individual and team growth.
- Managing and developing a team of Legal Engineers, setting clear goals, expectations, and performance standards.
- Leading hiring efforts for the Legal Engineering team, helping to attract and onboard top talent.

## What You Bring

You’ve built your career at the intersection of law, technology, delivery, and people leadership, and are comfortable owning complex work, leading senior conversations, and navigating ambiguity. You’ll thrive in this role if you:

- Have a background in law, with experience at a top-tier firm, in-house legal team, or legal tech environment.
- Have direct people management experience, including hiring, developing, and performance-managing a team in a client-facing or delivery environment.
- Bring senior experience delivering complex client implementations or programmes with multiple stakeholders.
- Are product-savvy and tech-curious, with a strong grasp of generative AI and legal workflows.
- Communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Excel at stakeholder and programme management, influencing priorities and navigating high-stakes conversations.
- Bring experience in legal tech or a technology-driven environment — a strong plus, though not required.
- Bring structure to complexity, move quickly without sacrificing quality, and focus on outcomes over perfection.

What’s In It For You

- Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestic and internationally.
- Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
- Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
- In-person environment: Toronto office designed for ambitious builders.
- Professional License & Certification Reimbursement
