Legal Engineer

What You'll Do

• Let’s get the tricky part out of the way: this role doesn’t fit neatly into a traditional box.
• It’s part legal ops, part product specialist, part solutions architect, and part client whisperer.
• If you enjoy roles that stay static, this probably isn’t it.
• Your mission is to help our clients, some of the most respected legal teams in the world, get the absolute most out of our platform.

• Acting as a thought partner to clients - building trusted relationships, addressing tricky pain points, and identifying high-value opportunities for them to scale their use of Legora.
• Working together with Customer Success in taking full ownership of client relationship - from running pilots in the early stages, to onboarding new users, and ultimately guiding full-firm adoption across major law firms and corporate legal departments.
• Be the voice of the user inside Legora - sharing insights that directly inform product development, roadmap priorities, and strategic direction.
• Delivering clear, confident product demos and training that bring the power of our platform to life.
• Documenting best practices, contribute to the development of scalable playbooks, and help shape how we grow this function globally.
• Confidently helping our clients navigate one of the biggest shifts in how the legal business operates - from evaluating the ROI and impact of AI to clearly mapping how AI will impact different practice areas

What You Bring

• You come from the world of law; but you’ve never been content with how things have always been done.
• You may have started out at a top-tier law firm.
• Maybe you’ve worked in a corporate legal team, seeing thorny operational problems from the inside.
• Perhaps you've even tried disrupting the status-quo through a legal tech company, or ventures of your own.
• Either way, you've had experience beyond the traditional legal career path.
• Either way, you know how legal teams think, work, and (sometimes) struggle and you're ready to help them level up with technology.

• Have a background in law, with experience at a top-tier firm or in-house legal team.
• Are tech-curious and product-savvy. Not necessarily a coder, but passionate navigating technical conversations, especially around things like generative AI, technology implementation, innovation and productivity.
• Communicate clearly and confidently with diverse stakeholders, both lawyers and engineers. I.e. translating across disciplines is second nature to you.
• Bring structure to ambiguity and energy to complexity; and enjoy being the calm, credible presence in a fast-moving environment.
• Understand how to evaluate and improve existing processes as a direct result of new and emerging technologies
• Are proactive, self-directed, and comfortable juggling multiple client relationships at once.
• Care deeply about quality, but don’t get stuck in perfectionism - you get things done, and you make them better over time.
