About Us
Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.
-
We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
-
We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
-
We grow together: as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
The Role
Legora is building the compensation infrastructure to support a fast-scaling, globally distributed company. We're looking for a Director, Compensation to help shape and scale Legora's approach to pay as we grow. You'll be a key partner to the VP of Rewards, owning the day-to-day design and execution of our compensation programs — from benchmarking and job architecture to salary planning and equity strategy. This is a high-visibility role with real influence over how Legora attracts, rewards, and retains talent globally.
This is a great opportunity for a compensation professional who wants to build (not just maintain) programs at a company still defining its comp infrastructure, with the backing of an experienced Rewards leader.
What You'll Do
-
Own and evolve Legora's compensation guidelines, pay structures, and salary ranges across all levels and geographies
-
Lead job architecture work — leveling, job family mapping, and career framework design — in partnership with People and business leaders
-
Manage compensation benchmarking using market data tools (Pave and Ravio), ensuring Legora's pay stays competitive as the company scales across all our markets
