Full Job Description
About the Role

As a Director of Revenue at Legora, you will lead, coach, and scale a high-performing team of Account Executives (Mid-Market or Enterprise) tasked with driving top-line revenue growth across the Central region.

You aren't just a manager who sits behind a dashboard-you are a hands-on revenue leader. You will actively jump into strategic, multi-million-dollar deal cycles, architect winning go-to-market strategies, and mentor your AEs to consistently hit and exceed quota. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love closing complex deals, and take pride in building world-class sales talent, this is your stage.

What You'll Do
  • Lead, recruit, and retain a high-performing team of Mid-Market or Enterprise Account Executives.
  • Provide daily, high-impact coaching-from pipeline generation and discovery to complex multi-stakeholder negotiations and deal closing.
  • Build a culture of accountability, continuous learning, and high energy on the sales floor.
  • Act as an executive sponsor on high-value, complex deals (ranging into 7- and 8-figure potential ARR).
  • Navigate complex, highly regulated buying centers (including corporate legal teams and law firms) alongside your AEs.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Legal Engineering, and Executive Leadership to align GTM strategy with client needs and clear deal roadblocks.
  • Own your team's revenue target, maintaining strict forecasting accuracy and pipeline health.
  • Develop and refine repeatable sales playbooks, qualification frameworks, and out-of-the-box prospecting tactics.
  • Utilize data-driven insights to analyze conversion rates, sales cycle length, and rep performance to continually optimize team output.

What You Bring
  • Proven Sales Leadership: 3+ years of direct sales management experience in B2B SaaS, leading teams of AEs handling complex, consultative sales cycles.
  • Closing Track Record: 8+ years of total B2B sales experience with a documented track record of personal and team quota attainment in high-growth environments.
  • Enterprise / Mid-Market Deal Mastery: Experience navigating multi-stakeholder, high-ACV deals ($100k+ to $1M+ ARR) and negotiating complex commercial terms.
  • Domain Experience: Experience selling into legal tech, professional services, or highly regulated industries is a strong plus.
  • Strategic & Operational Rigor: Highly metrics-driven with expertise in pipeline management, forecasting accuracy, and modern sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC, Challenger).
  • High EQ & Executive Presence: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to command a room, build trust with C-level buyers, and mentor reps through tough negotiations.
  • Builder Mindset: Energized by fast-paced, ambiguous environments where you build processes rather than just follow them.
  • In-Office Collaboration: A passion for dynamic, in-person teamwork-we collaborate 5 days per week in our Chicago office.

What's In It For You
  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Stockholm, New York, London, and Sydney.
  • Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
  • Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
  • In-person environment: Chicago 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 via Aetna and Kaiser Permanente
    • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)
    • Dental plans via MetLife
    • Vision plans via Vision Care

    Family Support
    • Generous parental leave
    • Free access to Maven Clinic
    • Dependent Care FSA
    • Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents

    Additional Perks
    • Pre-tax commuter benefits
    • Life Insurance + STD/LTD
    • 401(K) with generous company match
    • Unlimited PTO
    • Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more
