About The Position
As Director, Private Markets, you will lead, coach, and scale a high-performing team of Account Executives dedicated to Legora's Private Markets vertical — one of our most strategic growth areas. Sitting within Strategic Sales, you'll combine hands-on commercial leadership with deep domain ownership of the Private Markets ecosystem, helping the world's leading investment firms transform how they work with AI. You aren't just a manager who sits behind a dashboard; you are a hands on revenue leader.
