About the Role

As Lead Legal Engineer, you will serve as a player-coach, spearheading Legora's most complex and high-impact client engagements while managing and developing a team of Legal Engineers. You will leverage deep legal knowledge, product expertise, and people leadership to drive adoption, accelerate time-to-value, and deliver measurable outcomes for clients and your team.

Responsibilities

• Lead enterprise-level pilots and implementations across multiple stakeholders and products, from discovery through go-live, with clear success metrics.
• Own priority client use cases end-to-end, shaping scalable onboarding and implementation frameworks.
• Act as a senior thought partner to clients, building trusted relationships with partners, legal ops, and innovation leaders.
• Deliver executive-level demos, workshops, and presentations, clearly articulating value and handling complex objections.
• Influence internal teams (Product, Go-to-Market, Customer Success) on implementation strategy, setup, and handover.
• Represent the voice of the customer, surfacing product gaps with evidence and driving them through to resolution.
• Build and refine team processes, systems, and operating rhythms that scale delivery quality and team effectiveness as the Legal Engineering function grows.
• Provide ongoing coaching, feedback, and career development support to drive individual and team growth.
• Manage and develop a team of Legal Engineers, setting clear goals, expectations, and performance standards.
• Lead hiring efforts for the Legal Engineering team, helping to attract and onboard top talent.

Requirements

• Have a background in law, with experience at a top-tier firm, in-house legal team, or legal tech environment.
• Have direct people management experience, including hiring, developing, and performance-managing a team in a client-facing or delivery environment.
• Bring senior experience delivering complex client implementations or programmes with multiple stakeholders.
• Are product-savvy and tech-curious, with a strong grasp of generative AI and legal workflows.
• Communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Excel at stakeholder and programme management, influencing priorities and navigating high-stakes conversations.
• Bring experience in legal tech or a technology-driven environment — a strong plus, though not required.
• Bring structure to complexity, move quickly without sacrificing quality, and focus on outcomes over perfection.
