About Us
Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to** $100M+ in ARR**, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.
- We **lean in: **ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
- We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
- We** grow together:** as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
What you'll do
This is not a recruiting role. You will operate at the intersection of talent, technical team-building, and organisational effectiveness — acting as both a hands-on hiring lead and a strategic partner to Engineering and Product leadership.
Your primary mission is to build Legora's London Engineering hub from the ground up — hiring high-calibre engineers, product managers, and designers, while establishing the systems that enable performance, velocity, and long-term scalability. You will work closely with senior Engineering and Product leaders and founders, trusted to make consequential decisions on hiring, team composition, and people infrastructure.
Specifically, you will
- Own full-cycle recruitment for Engineering, Product, and Design — building the foundational London team with a high bar on quality, not just speed.
- Build and maintain proactive, high-quality pipelines for critical technical roles — so we're never starting from zero when a priority opens.
- Act as a genuine thought partner to Engineering and Product leadership on org design, team structure, and hiring sequencing — translating product and engineering priorities into clear plans and capability gaps.
- Support the build-out of the London Engineering hub end-to-end, ensuring cohesive, high-performing team formation from day one.
- Serve as the primary People partner for Engineering and Product in London — supporting performance management frameworks, goal-setting, feedback cycles, and calibration.
- Help establish the systems that drive engineering velocity, accountability, and continuous improvement — not just process for process's sake.
- Contribute to compensation, levelling, and progression frameworks for technical roles, ensuring we stay competitive and internally consistent as we scale.
What you bring
You know what great technical talent looks like and how to find it — but you're equally motivated by what happens after the hire. You're organised, commercially sharp, and trusted by senior engineers and founders alike to make consequential decisions on team composition and people infrastructure.
We're looking for
- 4–7+ years in talent acquisition or People roles, with a strong focus on Engineering, Product, and Design hiring in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
- A proven track record of hiring high-quality technical talent — you know the signals, you hold the bar, and you don't fill seats just to hit targets.
- Deep understanding of technical roles and how to assess engineering and product talent effectively — you speak the language and earn credibility quickly.
- Experience partnering with senior technical stakeholders on hiring strategy, org design, and team build-out — not just executing briefs, but shaping them.
- The ability to balance hands-on execution with strategic thinking — you can run five searches simultaneously and still see the bigger picture.
- A track record of building or meaningfully improving scalable hiring or People systems — you leave things better than you found them.
- Comfortable influencing senior stakeholders with data, market insight, and structured thinking — not just gut feel.
- Genuinely motivated by building high-performing technical teams and enabling them to do their best work — the hiring is the means, not the end.
