About Us

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way.

Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality.

Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design.

When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place.

We’re not just shaping the future of legal tech — we’re defining it. Ready to join us in building the intelligent future of law?

The Role

As Director of Operations Programmes, you will own and lead the execution of Legora’s most critical, company-wide initiatives. This includes international market launches, post-merger integration, major organisational changes, and other high-stakes programmes that cut across Product, GTM, Finance, People, Legal, and Technology.

This role exists to ensure that once a decision is made, it gets executed - fully, cleanly, and at pace.

You will build and lead the Operations Programmes function, set the execution standard for the company, and act as a trusted operator to the Head of Operations and executive team.

What You’ll Do

As Director of Operations Programmes, you will:

• Own end-to-end execution of Legora’s highest-priority cross-functional programmes globally

• Act as the single point of accountability for delivery once strategic decisions are made

• Build, scale, and lead a small team of senior Operations Programme Managers across regions (US & EMEA)

• Design and continuously improve Legora’s programme execution model, including governance, decision-making, and escalation mechanisms

• Lead complex initiatives such as international market entry, M&A integration, and company-wide operating changes

• Partner closely with the Head of Operations, Chief of Staff, Finance, People, Legal, and functional leaders to ensure alignment and momentum

This role is deeply executional. You will stay close to the work and intervene where needed to ensure delivery.

Who You Are

You are a senior operator with a strong track record of delivering complex initiatives in fast-moving environments. You combine structure with decisiveness and are comfortable owning outcomes that matter to the entire company.

You bring:

• Deep experience in Operations, Program Management, Consulting, or senior execution roles in high-growth environments (often gained over ~10 years, but we care more about impact than tenure)

• A strong track record of leading large, cross-functional initiatives with executive-level visibility and impact

• Strong judgment and comfort making decisions with imperfect information

• Experience navigating and executing within global organisational structures

• A leadership style built on clarity, accountability, and low ego

• Excellent communication skills - direct, structured, and outcome-focused
  

Nice to Have

• Experience scaling operations in a high-growth SaaS or technology company

• Prior ownership of international expansion or post-merger integration

• Background in management consulting combined with operating experience

• Experience building and leading programme teams across regions
