Strategic Programs Manager

About Us

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.

• Wegrow 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.

What You'll Do

This is a new role at Legora, built to support and scale our growing Legal Engineering function in the US—helping to deliver world-class AI implementations for the world's leading law firms. It sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution — and is designed for someone who wants to be a true force multiplier for a high-impact team.

You'll work closely with our Strategic Programs Lead and other Legal Engineers to help turn ambitious initiatives into reality, bringing structure, momentum, and follow-through to some of our most strategic efforts.

• Supporting the development and execution of Legal Engineering initiatives across the US market

• Partnering with Legal Engineers to design and deliver deployment plans, including work planning, sequencing, and execution

• Assisting in the coordination of our Legal Engineering resources for the delivery of local and cross-border implementations and ensuring Legora best practices are followed for global consistency in delivery

• Helping launch and scale strategic initiatives within an ever-growing Legal Engineering function

• Supporting pilots, client onboarding, and internal rollouts to ensure initiatives land effectively

• Monitoring and analysing adoption metrics via our analytics dashboards to identify friction points in the user journey and proposing strategic interventions during the implementation with the Engagement Managers

• Establishing impeccable project hygiene: You will be the custodian of our centralised project trackers, shared environments, and action logs. You'll ensure that as we scale across the US, there is a single, perfectly maintained "source of truth" for our programs so that no detail is lost in the noise of a fast-moving rollout

• Acting as a connective layer across teams, helping drive clarity, prioritisation, and progress

• Bringing a structured, execution-focused mindset to ambiguous problems — and pushing work over the finish line

In short: you'll help Legal Engineers focus on what they do best by making the overall system around them stronger, faster, and more effective.

What You Bring

You're early in your career, but already battle-tested. You've worked in environments where ambiguity is the norm, expectations are high, and outcomes matter — and you thrive in them.

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• 3+ years of experience in management consulting, strategy, or transformation / implementation-focused roles + Bachelor's degree required

• Experience within a professional services environment (Legal, Big 4, or Management Consulting) is highly preferred

• PowerPoint power-user with a high-velocity output and proven ability to synthesise ‘messy’ ideas into structured, aesthetic, and boardroom-ready decks

• Bring strong analytical skills and can translate data into clear, actionable insights

• Maintain an obsession with user adoption and responding to client needs

• Have exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail

• Communicate clearly and confidently, with the ability to influence stakeholders across teams

• Take ownership naturally — you don't wait to be told, you move things forward

• Are a practical problem-solver with a strong bias toward execution and operational rigor

• Bring a relentless, hands-on, get-it-done mindset

• Are excited to work in person, collaborating closely with teammates in the office 5 days per week

What’s In It For You

• Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestic and internationally.

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