The Role

As Sr. Director, Legal Innovation (Corporate Legal), you9ll 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.

What You9ll Do
  • Represent Legora across panels, industry forums, and the legal-innovation community, with a focus on in-house and corporate legal teams.
  • Advise customers9 innovation and knowledge teams on AI transformation - strategy, rollout, AI policy, and measures of success.

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.

  • 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.


What9s In It For You

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

    Additional Perks
