What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Market Expansion position at Legora?
About Us
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?
The Role
As Head of Market Expansion, you will join a lean, high-impact Operations team and drive execution on Legora’s market expansion priorities. We believe in T-shaped competence, meaning while market expansion is your main priority, you will be asked to support where to grow a broad competence touching how the entire company operates. You will partner with Growth, Finance, Legal, People, Product, and Engineering to bring structure to complex launches, keep cross-functional work moving, and help new markets become repeatable and scalable.
What You’ll Do
You will play a central role in shaping Legora's journey across markets and jurisdictions, building systems that help Legora scale efficiently.
At Legora, Operations isn’t a support function — it’s a force multiplier.
Benefits & Perks
We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:
Medical, Dental & Vision
At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work. We welcome people of all backgrounds and don’t discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Compensation Range: $178.5K - $241.5K
