Operations Manager

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way.

Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality.

Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design.

When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place.

As Operations Manager, you will join a lean, high-impact Operations team and drive execution across some of Legora’s most critical initiatives - including international expansion, post-merger integrations, organisational scaling, and operational improvements.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys owning complex problems end to end. You will operate as a cross-functional project owner, bringing structure to ambiguity, driving progress, and ensuring outcomes are delivered.

While the role is intentionally broad, we believe in building T-shaped operators. You will start with a general Operations mandate, with clear opportunities over time to go deep and become the owner of specific areas such as international expansion, post-merger integration, organisational design, or other priorities as the company scales.

You’ll work closely with teams across Operations, Growth, Finance, People, Legal, and Engineering to improve how we operate and help Legora scale effectively.

You will be challenged, learn quickly, and have real ownership over outcomes that that materially impact the business.

In this role, you will operate as a cross-functional operator and end-to-end project owner, responsible for:

• Leading and driving complex, cross-functional initiatives across Operations, Growth, Finance, People, and Engineering

• Owning high-impact projects such as market initiatives, organisational changes, and major operational improvements.

• Translating company priorities into clear execution plans - defining scope, ownership, milestones, and success metrics

• Identifying operational bottlenecks early and resolving them hands-on, in close collaboration with relevant teams

• Help design, document, and improve processes and playbooks that enable scale over time

• Supporting the leadership team with structured problem-solving, execution discipline, and clear, decision-oriented communication

• Playing an active role in shaping how Legora operates as the company scales

Who You Are

You are an execution-focused operator with strong ownership and sound judgment. You enjoy working across teams and turning complex, ambiguous problems into clear action.

You bring:

• Strong experience in operations, business management, consulting, or fast-growing startup environments (typically 4–6+ years, or equivalent depth of experience)

• A proven ability to lead and execute complex, cross-functional initiatives end to end

• Hands-on experience working closely with senior leaders or founders, with exposure to high-stakes decision-making

• Comfort operating in dynamic environments where problems are not fully defined, and solutions need to be built rather than maintained

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; additional languages are a plus

• A structured, low-ego working style with a clear bias toward outcomes
