Legal Operations Specialist

Legora Legora · Vertical AI · Stockholm, Sweden · Corporate

This role focuses on building and scaling the operational infrastructure for a legal technology company, specifically within their internal legal function. The specialist will own the design and build-out of internal legal knowledge databases, drive integrations between the company's platform and internal systems, and establish structured contract management infrastructure. The role emphasizes system thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and leveraging technology to optimize legal operations.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the design and build-out of Legora's internal legal knowledge databases, ensuring that contracts, policies, playbooks, and institutional knowledge are structured, searchable, and organized.
  2. Drive integrations between Legora's own platform and internal systems (CLM, CRM, HRIS, finance tools) to maximise the value Legora derives from its own product and ensure seamless data flows across the organisation.
  3. Establish and maintain structured contract management infrastructure — including metadata schemas, parent-child contract linking, deduplication standards, and a deviation/exception registry for non-standard terms.
  4. Design and implement cross-functional handoff protocols so that relevant contract terms, exceptions, and commitments automatically surface to Finance, RevOps, Product, and Customer Success at the point of execution.
  5. Partner with the Legal, People, and Operations teams to identify process bottlenecks, drive continuous improvement, and ensure legal operations practices reflect Legora's standards and values.
