Director of Communications

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. 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.
Our 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.
1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.
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 fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.

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

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.

If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

The Role

We’re seeking a Director of Communications based in New York City to build and scale Legora’s external narrative in North America across press, exec communications, thought leadership, and strategic storytelling. You’ll own how we show up publicly — shaping the stories, messages, and moments that define the category and cement Legora as the most credible and exciting voice in AI for legal work.

Reporting to the VP Communications in Stockholm, you’ll be embedded with the local Marketing and GTM teams, and work closely with teams across Marketing, Product, GTM, Legal, and Leadership, to translate what we’re building — and why it matters — into narratives that resonate with customers, media, talent, partners, and the broader industry.

You’re a storyteller with precision, taste, and the ability to translate complexity into clarity. You thrive at the intersection of strategy and craft — able to zoom out to narrative architecture and zoom in to sentence-level detail. You’re fast, structured, and obsessed with building trust through truth.

Communications is one of Legora’s most strategic levers for shaping the category. In a space full of noise and speculation, credibility is currency — and narrative discipline is a competitive advantage. The stories you create will influence how the industry understands AI for legal work, and why Legora is defining the frontier.

If we succeed, it will be because our story is clear, our voice is trusted, and our narrative sets the pace for the category — not the other way around.

What You’ll Do

• Build and execute Legora’s communications strategy for North America across earned channels.

• Define messaging frameworks that clarify our category, technology, and customer value.

• Develop and protect a consistent narrative that scales across teams and touch-points.

• Cultivate strong relationships with reporters covering AI, business, technology, and the legal industry.

• Own the end-to-end press pipeline: pitches, briefings, media kits, and press activation moments.

• Prepare spokespeople with clear talking points, briefing documents, and ongoing narrative coaching.

• Partner directly with Leadership to craft high-signal external comms: speeches, op-eds, keynote scripts, long-form posts, and interviews.

• Ensure a consistent voice across channels, reinforcing credibility, clarity, and category leadership.

• Turn complex ideas (AI capabilities, legal workflows, customer adoption, product architecture) into accessible, compelling stories.

• Develop long-form narrative assets: white-papers, announcements, deep dives, and industry POVs.

• Develop campaigns around launches, milestones, and category moments.

• Monitor category conversations, emerging risks, competitive narratives, and external debates.

• Advise leadership on communications decisions that require nuance, judgment, and speed.

• Ensure Legora shows up with truth, clarity, and authority.

• Build a measurement framework for communications impact across reach, sentiment, share of voice, and narrative resonance.

• Run experiments with formats, channels, and message angles — scaling what moves the needle.

• Maintain a library of messaging, resources, and reusable story assets.

What You Bring

• 5–7+ years of experience in communications, PR, editorial, or strategic narrative roles — ideally in high-growth, technical, or product-led environments.

• Demonstrated experience owning press narratives and securing coverage that shapes perception.

• Excellent writing, editing, and storytelling skills with an ability to simplify complexity.

• Ability to build repeatable messaging frameworks and communication systems.

• Experience preparing executives for media, speeches, or public commentary.

• Analytical mindset with the ability to measure sentiment, coverage quality, and message pull-through.

• Fluent English communication skills.

What’s In It For You

• Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.

• Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.

• Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.

• In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.

• Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:
  Medical, Dental & Vision

  • Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente

  • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)

  • Dental plans via MetLife
