What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manager, FP&A 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 Senior Manager, FP&A at Legora, you will play a central role in strengthening and scaling our financial planning capabilities as we grow globally. You will be part of a high-performing finance team, helping to deepen and professionalize how we budget, forecast, model scenarios, and measure performance across revenue, opex, and headcount. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will both improve existing foundations and build additional depth and structure as complexity increases.
Your work will directly influence capital allocation, hiring velocity, product investment, and international expansion. This role is about turning ambition into numbers we trust – and numbers into decisions we act on. The quality of our planning and performance visibility will directly shape how efficiently and intelligently we scale.
What You Will Be Doing
You combine analytical depth with strong commercial instinct. You enjoy building structure, improving systems, and bringing clarity to complex realities.
You thrive in fast-moving environments and are comfortable working cross-functionally. You don’t stop at “what happened.” You push to understand why it happened, what it means, and what we should do next.
You’re confident in influencing stakeholders, bringing clarity to trade-offs, and raising the bar for financial rigor while staying pragmatic and business-oriented.
Experience
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: $175K - $205K
