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.

As we scale, we need the same rigor around headcount that we apply to revenue, cash, and the rest of the P&L. You will own that discipline.\n\nYou will build and run our companywide workforce plan, translate hiring decisions into financial impact, forecast personnel cost against actuals, and ensure every open role is supported by an approved plan. You will give leadership a clear view of where we are investing, what those investments cost, and how hiring decisions affect the financial plan.\n\nYou will sit within FP&A and partner closely with business leaders, People, and Talent Acquisition. Finance will own the plan and the economics. Your role is to make sure hiring activity stays connected to both.\n\nYou will also own the data and systems that support workforce planning, creating a trusted view of headcount, open positions, hiring timing, and personnel cost across our HRIS, ATS, and financial planning environment.\n\nThis is a high visibility role at the intersection of financial planning and operating execution.
