Engagement Manager

Legora Legora · Vertical AI · Chicago, IL · Growth

This role is for an Engagement Manager at Legora, an AI-native legal tech company. The primary focus is on post-sale customer relationships, driving product adoption, retention, and expansion. While the company heavily utilizes AI, this specific role is customer-facing and focused on client success and strategic advisory, rather than direct AI/ML development or research. The role involves collaborating with Product and Engineering to translate client feedback, but the core responsibilities are in customer management and driving value from the existing AI-powered product.

  1. Serve as the face of Legora for a portfolio of law firms and/or in-house legal teams post-sale, owning relationships from onboarding through adoption, expansion, and renewal.
  2. Lead complex rollouts in close partnership with Legal Engineers, establishing a strong foundation for long-term adoption and measurable customer outcomes from day one.
  3. Drive sustained product adoption through structured enablement programs, tailored success plans, regular engagement, and proactive usage optimization.
  4. Act as a trusted strategic advisor to legal and operational leaders, aligning Legora to client goals, uncovering new use cases, and helping teams re-imagine how legal work gets done.
  5. Identify commercial opportunities, partnering cross-functionally to close renewals and expansion.
