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?What you'll do
You will own and scale Legora's strategic Legal Engineering programs across the UK — operating at the intersection of strategy, client delivery, and operational excellence. This role is not about coordination. It is about ownership, decision-making, and driving results in complex, fast-moving environments.
You will partner closely with the Director of Strategic Programs, Legal Engineering leadership, and client stakeholders to drive end-to-end execution of high-stakes AI deployments — while continuously raising the bar for how we deliver.
Own strategic program deliveryLead end-to-end execution of high-priority Legal Engineering initiatives across the UK — from ambiguous strategic goal to structured plan with clear milestones, owners, and success metrics.
Act as the single point of accountability for program progress, risks, and outcomes. When something is off track, you are the one who fixes it.
Partner with Legal Engineers and Engagement Managers to design and lead deployment strategies for complex client implementations — owning workplanning, sequencing, and resourcing across multiple concurrent programs.
Identify delivery risks early and intervene before they become blockers — you don't wait to be told something is off.
Build repeatable frameworks, playbooks, and operating cadences that raise the execution standard across Legal Engineering — locally and across borders.
Act as a force multiplier: your systems make the whole team better, not just your own programs.
Own adoption strategy across programs — using data to diagnose friction, define success metrics (usage, retention, workflow integration, ROI), and drive targeted interventions.
Partner with client stakeholders to ensure implementations translate into real behaviour change and measurable business impact — not just go-live.
Serve as the connective layer across Legal Engineering, Product, and Go-To-Market — driving alignment, prioritisation, and decisions across stakeholders who don't always share the same agenda.
Influence senior internal and client stakeholders through clear, structured communication — without relying on formal authority.
Own program governance — reporting rhythms, tracking, and a high-fidelity source of truth across all active programs.
Build POV packs, knowledge artefacts, templates, and checklists that codify how Legora plans, executes, and learns from deployments.
Identify opportunities to launch new strategic initiatives within Legal Engineering and take them from zero to scaled rollout — with clear ownership at every stage.
You are an experienced operator who combines structured thinking with a strong bias for execution. You are comfortable owning outcomes in ambiguous environments and influencing senior stakeholders without formal authority. You don't wait for clarity — you create it.
4–7 years in management consulting, strategy, or implementation-focused roles — ideally in professional services (Legal, Big 4, or Consulting) or a similarly high-performance environment.
A track record of leading complex, multi-stakeholder programs end-to-end — not just supporting them. You owned the outcome.
Strong program management and execution discipline across multiple concurrent workstreams, without dropping quality or pace.
High analytical ability — you translate data into strategic decisions and targeted interventions, not just reports.
Exceptional communication skills — you write and speak with clarity and authority, and you earn credibility with senior stakeholders quickly.
Clear evidence of ownership and accountability for outcomes, not just deliverables — you measure success by impact, not output.
Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and building structure where none exists.
