## 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.

## About the role

Legora is building the AI-native workspace for legal work, with lawyers. Our Legal Engineers are lawyers who help the world's leading firms turn AI into real change in how they practise. France is one of our fastest-growing markets, and we have just opened our Paris office. We are looking for a Team Lead to lead our Legal Engineering team for law firms in France. This is a player-coach role: you will lead and develop a team of Legal Engineers while personally running our most strategic firm engagements. You will report to the Director of Legal Engineering, South EMEA.

## What you'll be doing

- Leading the team day to day: priorities, 1:1s, coaching, quality review, capacity and escalations.
- Hiring, onboarding and developing Legal Engineers, and setting the standard of excellence for the team.
- Personally leading high-value engagements, from discovery and pilots to firm-wide rollouts, with managing partners, practice heads, innovation and IT teams.
- Turning commercial priorities into execution with our Go-To-Market and Engagement teams: pilots that convert, rollouts that stick, renewals and expansions.
- Building relationships at partner and management level, and designing sponsor and champion models inside firms.
- Turning what works into reusable methods: playbooks, templates, French-language content and training.
- Being the voice of French law firms inside Legora, bringing evidenced product feedback to our Product team.
- Representing Legora in the French legal market, on AI and the future of legal practice.

## What you bring

- A strong legal background, typically 8+ years of experience in sophisticated law-firm practice, ideally at counsel or senior associate level in a top-tier firm.
- Proven people management: you have hired, coached, given hard feedback and managed performance.
- Commercial acumen: you understand how firms make money, how partners decide and how firms buy, and you can tie your work to business outcomes.
- Credibility with senior lawyers: you can run a difficult workshop with partners and lead an executive readout.
- Real fluency with generative AI: you use it, you test it, you know where it fails and you can explain why.
- Structure without bureaucracy, and the energy to build in a fast-growing team.
- Native or bilingual French and fluent English.

Strong pluses

- Experience in legal innovation, knowledge management, legal tech or legal AI.
- A track record of building something: a practice, a team, a function or a company.
- A visible voice in the French legal community.

A few more things You will join a company that moves fast, with a lot of autonomy and real ownership of how Legal Engineering grows in France. We care about Lean In, Fight for Excellence and Grow Together. If that sounds exciting rather than daunting, we'd love to hear from you. Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work. We welcome people of all backgrounds and don’t discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
