We're looking for an independent, highly driven individual to help scale Legora's law school partnerships through strategic, high-impact initiatives. This role is critical to advancing Legora's brand and positioning across the legal community in the US and internationally.

Reporting to the VP of Partnerships, you'll sit at the intersection of legal education, technology, and ecosystem building - working closely with academic institutions, internal teams, and the broader legal community to embed Legora into how future lawyers learn and work.

In this role, you'll take ownership of Legora's law school partnerships end-to-end, ensuring partners are enabled, engaged, and aligned with Legora's long-term goals.

You'll be responsible for:
  • Ensuring partner institutions are fully enabled on the Legora platform, using your legal subject-matter expertise to identify, articulate, and support relevant use cases.
  • Launching and owning initiatives to drive platform usage across law school partners, including co-creating content and programs with faculty, clinics, journals, and other stakeholders.
  • Building strong relationships and champions within partner organisations, supporting long-term adoption and advocacy.
  • Coordinating cross-functionally with Go-to-Market, Enablement, Customer Engagement, and Marketing teams to ensure partner needs are met and incentives are aligned.
  • Identifying gaps in Legora's partnership strategy and designing, executing, and iterating on solutions to strengthen our professional and academic community partnerships.
  • Operating effectively in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, adapting priorities and approaches as the business scales.

You'll thrive in this role if you:
  • Hold a JD from a top US law school.
  • Have 5+ years of professional experience, with a strong emphasis on project or program management.
  • Possess a clear understanding of the legal sector, including law firm practice areas, lawyer workflows, and common pain points.
  • Have a proven ability to build trusted relationships and champions within complex organizations.
  • Are highly organized and comfortable managing multiple fast-paced initiatives simultaneously.
  • Thrive in high-growth, dynamic environments, and can pivot quickly as priorities evolve.

Nice to have (but not required):
  • 2-3 years of experience practicing at a US law firm (litigation or transactional).
  • Experience working with the academic sector, particularly with US law school faculty.
  • Background in legal clinics or law school journals.


What's in it for you
  • Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
