The Role Legora has grown from 40 to more than 600 people in 18 months. During that time, we reached $100M ARR, tripled our valuation in five months, and continued expanding into new markets around the world.
Our Talent Acquisition function is now entering its next chapter. The processes, standards, and hiring approach that support our next phase of growth are being built today, which you'll play a significant part in. You'll work closely with senior leaders from day one and play a key role in shaping how Legora hires and scales.
What You'll DoProduct velocity depends on having the right engineering and technical talent in place, fast, and at a high bar. As a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, you will own that directly. You are not a support function for the Engineering, Product, Design (EPD) team. You bring genuine craft to how technical hiring gets done, and you're accountable for the quality and pace of the people who build Legora's product.
You will own end-to-end hiring across EPD in the US, working closely with senior leaders who are genuinely invested in recruiting, trusted to make high-impact decisions on hiring and team composition.
Specifically, you will:
- Own full-cycle recruitment across the US, partnering closely with hiring managers to define role scope, success profiles, and hiring strategies aligned to business priorities.
- Help shape how Talent operates at Legora, contributing beyond hiring to process design, programs, tooling, and broader People initiatives.
- Build and nurture proactive talent pipelines for critical and future hiring needs, ensuring we stay ahead of demand rather than reacting to it.
- Run structured, data-informed hiring processes that balance quality, pace, and consistency while maintaining a high bar for talent.
- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience from first conversation through to offer, acting as a trusted and credible ambassador for Legora throughout.
What You BringYou understand that hiring decisions are business decisions, and you hold yourself accountable to the same outcomes as the teams you hire for. You're hands-on, sharp, and trusted by senior leaders to shape teams that win. We're looking for:
- 5+ years in talent acquisition in a high-growth environment, startup, scaleup, or VC-backed company, with meaningful depth hiring EPD talent.
- A proven track record hiring high-performing EPD talent across the seniority levels that matter most at this stage of growth.
- The ability to hold a credible conversation with an engineering or product leader about what strong looks like. You understand the difference between a good CV and a good hire in technical roles, and you don't lower the bar when searches get hard.
- Experience partnering with senior stakeholders on hiring strategy and team build-out, not just executing briefs, but shaping them.
- The ability to run multiple complex searches without losing quality or pace.
- Comfortable in ambiguity with a bias toward action. You build a structure where none exists and move without waiting for perfect conditions.
- Collaborative but direct. You influence and challenge senior stakeholders when needed, and you drive decisions rather than defer them.
