Join Legora: Help Transform the Future of Legal and Tax Advisory
Legora is changing the way legal work happens — not by building technology in isolation, but by creating it with lawyers and legal professionals.
We partner with some of the most respected legal teams in the world, and they trust us because we operate with the same standards they do: precision, speed, excellence, and accountability.
Our AI-native platform enables legal professionals to work smarter and faster — from analysing thousands of documents in minutes to powering end-to-end workflows that reduce complexity and unlock sharper decision-making. The result? More time for what matters most: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
Why Legora
Today, more than 1,000 customers across 50+ countries rely on Legora, including:
Cleary Gottlieb
Goodwin
Linklaters
White & Case
Dentons
Barclays
We’ve grown to $100M+ ARR and continue to expand across Europe, North America, and APAC. Our growth has also been strengthened through acquisitions such as Qura, Walter AI, and Graceview.
We also collaborate with world-class names beyond legal tech, including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg and his caddie, and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
What It Means to Work Here
Joining Legora means embracing a culture built on ambition, ownership, and collective growth.
Our principles
We lean in — ownership matters more than titles.
We fight for excellence — we set a high bar and give direct, ego-free feedback.
We grow together — with each other and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re energised by impact, pace, and raising standards, you’ll feel at home here.
The Opportunity
This is not a conventional role — and that’s exactly what makes it exciting.
You’ll sit at the intersection of legal operations, product expertise, client strategy, and solution design. One day you may be advising a tax partner on scaling AI adoption across jurisdictions; the next, you may be shaping internal product thinking based on customer insight.
Your focus will be to help some of the world’s most sophisticated tax, legal advisory, and consulting teams unlock maximum value from the Legora platform.
What You’ll Be Doing
In this role, you will act as a trusted advisor, strategic partner, and product champion for clients navigating major changes in how professional services are delivered.
Key responsibilities
Build trusted client relationships
Work closely with tax partners, legal advisory leaders, and consulting teams to understand their challenges, solve complex pain points, and uncover high-value opportunities to expand Legora across teams, service lines, and jurisdictions.Own the customer journey end-to-end
Partner with Go-To-Market and Customer Success teams to lead client engagement from early pilots through onboarding, rollout, and long-term adoption across large professional services organisations, including Big 4 environments.Represent the voice of the customer internally
Bring insights from tax structuring, regulatory advisory, and legal consulting teams back into Legora to help shape product development, roadmap priorities, and strategic direction.Deliver compelling demos and training
Present the platform with confidence and clarity to a wide range of stakeholders — from senior partners to global advisory teams — and ensure users understand how to apply it effectively in practice.Develop scalable best practices
Capture learnings from leading firms, document repeatable success models, and contribute to playbooks that help this function grow globally.Guide clients through AI transformation
Support firms as they assess the ROI, competitive impact, and practical implementation of AI across service lines such as tax compliance, regulatory advisory, and multi-jurisdictional legal work.
What You Bring
You understand the world of tax and legal advisory from the inside — and you’re motivated by the opportunity to improve it.
You may have built your career in a Big 4 firm, within legal advisory, tax structuring, consulting, legal operations, innovation, or technology implementation. You may also have moved into legal tech or consulting, helping firms modernise the way they work.
Wherever you’ve come from, you know how advisory teams operate, where they struggle, and where technology can create real leverage.
You’ll Likely Thrive If You…
Have a strong background in law or tax
Ideally gained within a Big 4 firm or leading professional services environment, with exposure to multiple service lines, jurisdictions, or innovation initiatives.Are excited by technology
You don’t need to be an engineer, but you’re comfortable discussing topics like generative AI, implementation, innovation, and productivity tools.Communicate with clarity and credibility
You can engage effectively with tax partners, consulting leaders, lawyers, and technical teams alike — and you’re skilled at translating between disciplines.Handle ambiguity well
You bring structure to fast-moving situations and stay calm, focused, and solutions-oriented when things are complex.Understand process improvement
You can assess how new technologies improve workflows, whether in tax compliance, regulatory analysis, or cross-border advisory work.Are highly proactive
You take ownership, manage multiple priorities confidently, and don’t wait to be told what to do next.Balance quality with momentum
You care deeply about doing things well, but you also know when to move forward and improve iteratively.Understand the business of professional services
You appreciate the realities of leveraging teams, proving value to clients, managing complex work across jurisdictions, and balancing technical quality with commercial delivery.
Why This Role Stands Out
Legora is growing quickly, and this is a chance to join at a pivotal moment.
You’ll have meaningful autonomy, real responsibility, and the opportunity to shape how this function develops globally. This is a role for someone who enjoys building, influencing, and making a measurable impact.
At Legora, we value people with a founder mentality — individuals who are excited by momentum, ownership, and the chance to help define what comes next.
If that sounds energising rather than intimidating, we’d love to hear from you.
