Legora is the collaborative AI powering lawyers to review and research faster, draft smarter, and advise with precision. Legora adapts to your ways of working, unlocking team and machine collaboration at scale. Backed by Accel, Bessemer and General Catalyst.
About the role
Legora has grown from 40 to 900 people in 18 months, and there are more than 40 open executive searches running right now. The roles that define how the organisation is built, Director and above, need a dedicated owner. Based in New York, you'll join the Head of Executive Recruiting to shape how Legora hires its leaders, owning Director-level hiring across every function while getting close exposure to the most senior searches in the company.
What they're looking for
- You can hold a credible conversation with senior leaders about how their function should be built and what strong leadership looks like in it
- You've either got relationships in the investor talent community already or a track record of building them fast, and you know how to brief and manage external search firms rather than just hand a role over
- Trust is your currency. You establish credibility quickly with people you've just met, you handle confidential information properly, and you're honest with candidates even when the answer isn't the one they want
