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.
The Role
When a company raises $550M, triples its valuation in under six months, and opens offices across four continents inside a year, the finance function doesn't get to move slowly. Legora's CFO oversees a global team operating across the US, Europe, and APAC, holding the company to a high standard across every market it enters.
This role partners directly with the CFO and the G&A leadership team, owning the people agenda for a function that underpins everything Legora is building. The CFO leads with precision and high standards, and the people around them do too.
What You’ll Do
As a Senior People Partner, you'll work as a true thought partner to the CFO and leadership team across the entire G&A organisation, helping shape the functions as they scales while ensuring strong performance, accountability, and organisational health. This isn't a support role. You're a strategic operator who can move between high-level organisational thinking and hands-on delivery when the moment requires it.
Specifically, you will:
Own the people agenda for the finance function globally, partnering with the CFO and their leadership team on org design, workforce planning, headcount decisions, and team structure
Proactively identify organisational challenges before they become systemic. Build a deep understanding of the function's ambitions, risks, and capability gaps and get ahead of them
Set and hold the performance bar. Drive calibration, coach leaders through difficult conversations, and intervene early when standards slip rather than after the damage is done
Support leaders across the finance function as they navigate a period of significant growth, operating at a scale and pace many haven't encountered before
Own complex ER matters, restructurings, and multi-jurisdictional employment topics in partnership with regional People Partners across EMEA and APAC
Act as the primary connection between the finance function and the wider People organisation, including Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, and People Tech, ensuring global frameworks translate into real impact on the ground
What You Bring
You understand that people decisions are business decisions, and you hold yourself accountable to the same outcomes as the leaders you partner with. We're looking for:
A background in a senior HRBP or People Partner role, with meaningful time in a high-growth B2B SaaS or enterprise tech environment
A track record as a trusted advisor to senior finance or operational leadership, shaping decisions rather than supporting them. You're credible in rooms where the conversation is about numbers, structure, and accountability
Deep experience across the full people agenda: org design, performance, leadership development, compensation, ER, and organisational change at pace
Comfortable building from scratch with a strong bias toward action. You create structure where none exists and move without waiting for perfect conditions
Calm under pressure, decisive in ambiguity, and confident holding your ground with senior stakeholders when the bar slips
Solid working knowledge of New York employment law. Multi-jurisdictional experience across the US and EMEA is a practical advantage
Motivated by building high-performance cultures. You understand that hiring bar, performance, and accountability are business priorities, not HR ones
What’s In It For You
Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.
Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.
