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.\nOur 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.\n2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.\nWe partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.\nJoining Legora means three things.\nWe lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.\n\nWe fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.\n\nWegrow together: as a team and with our customers.\n\nMission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.\nIf you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.\nThe Role\nWe are hiring our first SaaS Enablement & Governance Lead to own the lifecycle of Legora's entire SaaS and AI portfolio, from enterprise platforms down to the tail of team-level and expensed purchases: intake, renewal, decommissioning, and everything between. You'll be based in our New York office, reporting to the Head of IT.\nProcurement works the strategic head of spend. This role is the oversight layer across all of it: the ~90% of applications that never reach a sourcing process are where risk and sprawl accumulate, and they are yours. We build AI for lawyers, and we hold our own software estate to the bar our customers hold us to. You'll partner with FP&A, Procurement, and Security, and run the function the way an AI-native company should: agents and automation do the repetitive work, your time goes to judgment. Whether that runs on a commercial platform or tooling you build with LLMs and agents is your call to make and defend.\nWhat You'll Do\nSoftware & AI asset management\nOwn the single source of truth for every SaaS and AI application: licenses, entitlements, owners, integrations, and dependencies, kept current by automated discovery. Security's supply-chain-risk program builds its dependency and criticality map from this record, one inventory, two lenses.\n\nTrack utilization against entitlements, reclaim inactive and duplicate licenses, and rightsize the portfolio against explicit cost-avoidance targets.\n\nHunt down shadow IT and shadow AI, expense-report purchases, self-serve signups, free-tier tools, and bring each one under management with an owner, a risk posture, and a renewal date.\n\nManage usage- and token-based pricing, and forecast the volatile AI spend that per-seat license counts miss.\n\nAI tool governance\nOwn the commercial and governance substrate for AI tools, the sanctioned-vs-restricted catalog, licensing, and spend. AI Enablement drives adoption and training; Corporate Security enforces the technical guardrails.\n\nEnforce AI vendor terms commercially, training-on-data, data retention, confidentiality, and model-change clauses in contracts and renewals, with risk and compliance review owned by Security and Legal.\n\nBuild agentic workflows for the function itself (discovery, license reclamation, renewal tracking, provisioning), with a human in the loop where judgment demands it. Anything manual twice a quarter gets automated.\n\nVendor management\nOwn software and SaaS vendor relationships as an engineering-level partner: roadmap input, escalations, SLAs, and performance reviews. (Hardware, AV, and physical-site vendors sit with Workplace Technology.)\n\nBuild and run a single front door for software and AI requests: paved paths that encode security, privacy, and spend policy, so the sanctioned route is also the fastest one. Risk assessment routes to Security's supply-chain-risk program, whose requirements gate adoption.\n\nRenewals, cost optimization & FinOps\nOwn the renewals calendar across the full portfolio; forecast and surface renewals well ahead of deadlines so nothing auto-renews by default.\n\nPartner with Procurement on strategic, high-spend negotiations; own commercial terms and true-ups across the long tail yourself.\n\nRun FinOps for software and AI spend: consolidate overlapping tools, retire what isn't used, and execute decommissioning, contract wind-down, license teardown, access removal, with Security verifying risk closure on critical vendors.\n\nConfiguration, integration & identity\nManage SaaS configuration as code where possible, auditable and version-controlled, remediating operational drift, with security posture findings owned by Corporate Security.\n\nBuild integrations against SaaS APIs where they serve the governance loop: discovery, utilization data, reclamation, and provisioning.\n\nOnboard every application to SSO and SCIM as part of intake, and drive license reclamation from joiner/mover/leaver signals, on the identity platform Corporate Security owns, supplying the data for access reviews that Security runs.\n\nGovernance, security, compliance & reporting\nOwn SaaS-related SOC 2 evidence and third-party application governance as the system owner.\n\nReport utilization, savings, renewal pipeline, AI spend, and compliance to IT leadership and Finance, one number set that FP&A, Procurement, and Security all work from.\n\nWhat You Bring\n5+ years in software/SaaS asset management, IT vendor management, business systems, IT/enterprise applications, or IT procurement, with clear ownership of license and vendor work.\n\nCost optimization: a track record of license rightsizing, renewal negotiation, tool consolidation, and measurable savings.\n\nCommercial fluency: comfortable owning negotiations and reading licensing models, including consumption/usage-based and AI pricing, true-ups, and contract terms.\n\nPortfolio tooling: has run SaaS discovery, utilization, and license management at scale (commercial platform, pipelines they built, or both), with grounded opinions on when to buy and when to build.\n\nAutomation & integration: builds with LLM/agent workflows, iPaaS, and scripts against SaaS APIs (e.g., Python), and uses AI tools daily in their own work.\n\nIdentity governance: SSO/SAML/OIDC and SCIM (Okta or Entra) and how access drives license consumption.\n\nAI-era judgment: has evaluated and governed AI tools and can read AI-vendor data terms.\n\nAnalytical & cross-functional: builds utilization and forecast models, and partners credibly with Finance, Procurement, Security, and tool owners.\n\nNice to have\nExperience at a legal, financial, or otherwise regulated / high-trust company.\n\nHas stood up a FinOps practice; exposure to procurement and finance systems (Zip, Coupa, NetSuite, Workday/Adaptive).\n\nBuilt process and tooling from scratch at a fast-scaling company.\n\nCertifications: ITIL, FinOps Certified Practitioner, or ServiceNow CIS-SAM.\n\nWhat’s In It For You\nGlobal collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.\n\nCompetitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.\n\nMeaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.\n\nIn-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.\n\nBenefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision\nMultiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente\n\nHSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)\n\nDental plans via MetLife\n\nVision plans via Vision Care\n\nFamily Support\nGenerous parental leave\n\nFree access to Maven Clinic\n\nDependent Care FSA\n\nFree One Medical membership for employees and dependents\n\nAdditional Perks\nPre-tax commuter benefits\n\nLife Insurance + STD/LTD\n\n401(K) with generous company match\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nRobust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more\n\nLegora is an Equal Opportunity Employer\nAt 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8809,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance","Parental leave","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Document AI","Legal AI","Legal Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-21T15:57:23Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T08:57:41Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":162500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.475,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":104,"expected_fill_days":58,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":254000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/legora-saas-enablement-governance-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/legora-saas-enablement-governance-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T15:46:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22024,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48110},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48110"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flegora-saas-enablement-governance-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flegora-saas-enablement-governance-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flegora-saas-enablement-governance-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/legora-saas-enablement-governance-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flegora-saas-enablement-governance-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":55469}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"legora.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":55469},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
