The RoleLegora is hiring our first dedicated
Operations Manager, Post Merger Integration and Mergers and Acquisition to build our global integration function from scratch. This is a high-visibility, founding operator role reporting to the Director of Operations.
Legora has grown both organically and through acquisition, and integration is how an acquisition becomes real: people landing well, products converging, and momentum maintained.
You will own the integration lifecycle end-to-end-from pre-sign diligence through the first 100 days-turning a live portfolio of deals into a repeatable global machine.
What You'll Do- Translate the deal thesis into an integration plan with clear owners, milestones, risks, and decision points.
- Own execution from day-1 readiness through close-out, keeping acquired teams productive and retained.
- Serve as a trusted partner to acquired teams, helping them navigate Legora and keep their momentum.
- Build repeatable diligence and integration playbooks that improve with every deal.
- Coordinate function owners across People, Legal, Finance, IT, Product, and GTM, and drive trade-offs to decisions.
- Partner with deal teams from diligence onward: assess integration readiness, flag people, product, and operational risks, and give go/no-go input before signing.
- Track integration progress and retention, and communicate risks and recommendations to executive stakeholders.
What You Bring- 8+ years of experience, with at least 2 years leading M&A integrations hands-on.
- A path that combines analytical training with operating experience: the classic arc is banking or consulting into corporate development into an operator seat, but we welcome other routes that build the same muscles.
- Experience with talent- and product-driven acquisitions, where retention of the acquired team defines success.
- Strong operating judgment and the ability to move fluidly between strategy and execution.
- Executive presence and backbone: you build trust quickly and drive outcomes through influence rather than authority.
- Comfort building structure in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
Strong Candidates May Also- Have cross-border deal experience, including employment, equity, and entity questions.
- Bring the technical fluency to evaluate technical organizations and work credibly with engineering and product leadership.
- Have built integration playbooks, templates, or repeatable processes from scratch.
- Come from a startup or hyper-growth environment.
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.
