What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manager, Talent Operations position at Legora?
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.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
The Role
We are looking for a visionary Senior Manager, Talent Operations to build our Talent Operations function from the ground up. This is a high-impact, foundational role where you will design the systems, processes, and programs that enable us to scale our global team with excellence. You will report to the VP of Talent, as part of the Talent leadership team.
As our first Talent Operations team member, you will define the roadmap for our global Talent team, ensuring that as Legora scales in new and existing markets, our talent strategy remains consistent, data-driven, and highly efficient.
What You'll Do
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 - $210K
