Full Job Description
The Role

As Sr. Director, Legal Innovation (Corporate Legal), you'll be a senior voice for Legora in the corporate and in-house legal community - representing the company in the field, advising legal departments on how to adopt AI well, and helping shape where the business of in-house legal is going. The role pairs public thought leadership (panels, forums, published analysis) with substantive project work, including building practical ROI frameworks for in-house legal teams alongside our Value Engineering function. It's a high-visibility, build-it role for someone with a strong point of view on the future of corporate legal.

What You'll Do
  • Represent Legora across panels, industry forums, and the legal-innovation community, with a focus on in-house and corporate legal teams.
  • Advise customers' innovation and knowledge teams on AI transformation - strategy, rollout, AI policy, and measures of success.
  • Partner closely with the VP of Legal Innovation & Strategy and serve as a senior Legora voice across speaking, content, and executive advisory.
  • Own special projects - most immediately, partnering with Value Engineering to build out ROI frameworks for in-house legal teams.
  • Publish analysis that moves the market narrative.


What You Bring
  • 7+ years in a legal-innovation, legal-operations, outside-counsel-management, knowledge, or strategy role at a corporate legal team, top law firm, or legal-tech company.
  • Genuine fluency in how legal organizations operate and make decisions - the economics and psychology of legal leadership, not just the tooling.
  • Executive presence with GCs, CLOs, CIOs, and innovation leaders, and the ability to translate across legal, business, and technical audiences.
  • A strong, demonstrated public point of view - through writing and conference speaking.


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.
  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:
    Medical, Dental & Vision
    • Multiple medical plan options through 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
