About Legora

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 1,000 people in just 18 months, expanding across four continents along the way. We're growing fast, and as the business scales, we need strong leaders, high-performing teams, and the right foundations to support what's next. We're looking for a Senior People Partner to lead the people agenda across our Legal, Operations, and People functions. Together, these teams have around 150 people today, with plans to grow to approximately 250 by the end of 2027. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You understand how people decisions affect business performance, and you're comfortable challenging leaders, making difficult calls, and taking ownership of outcomes
  • Experience as a senior HRBP or People Partner, ideally in a high-growth B2B SaaS or technology scale-up
  • A strong track record of partnering with senior leaders across corporate or operational functions. You know how to build trust, challenge thinking, and influence important decisions
  • Broad experience across org design, performance management, leadership development, compensation, employee relations, and organisational change
  • Good commercial judgement. You understand the business behind the people decisions and aren't afraid to push back when needed
  • Someone who enjoys building. You're comfortable with ambiguity, don't need everything mapped out, and know when to introduce structure without slowing things down

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.

We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.

We grow together: as a team and with our...
