Legora AB • Toronto, ON

11d • Onsite

About The Position

Legora is on a mission to redefine how legal work gets done by building AI-native workspace with legal professionals. Our platform empowers legal professionals to work faster, ask better questions, and unlock new insights, pushing the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. Trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, Legora ships fast, iterates effectively, and scales rapidly. Joining Legora means becoming part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place. The Legal Engineer role doesn't fit neatly into a traditional box; it's part legal ops, part product specialist, part solutions architect, and part client whisperer. Your mission is to help our clients, some of the most sophisticated in-house legal teams in the world, get the absolute most out of our platform.

Requirements

• Have a background in law, with experience in an in-house legal team or corporate legal department - ideally with exposure to legal operations, process improvement, or technology implementation.
• Are tech-curious and product-savvy. Not necessarily a coder, but passionate about navigating technical conversations, especially around things like generative AI, technology implementation, innovation and productivity.
• Communicate clearly and confidently with diverse stakeholders, from General Counsels to business leaders, and from lawyers to engineers. I.e. translating across disciplines is second nature to you.
• Bring structure to ambiguity and energy to complexity; and enjoy being the calm, credible presence in a fast-moving environment.
• Understand how to evaluate and improve existing processes as a direct result of new and emerging technologies - whether that's streamlining contract workflows, improving matter management, or enhancing compliance processes.
• Are proactive, self-directed, and comfortable juggling multiple client relationships at once.
• Care deeply about quality, but don't get stuck in perfectionism - you get things done, and you make them better over time.
• Understand the commercial realities of in-house life: doing more with limited resources, demonstrating value to the business, balancing risk and commercial objectives, and being a strategic partner rather than just a cost centre.

Responsibilities

• Acting as a thought partner to General Counsels, Legal Operations leaders, and in-house teams - building trusted relationships, addressing tricky pain points, and identifying high-value opportunities for them to scale their use of Legora across their legal function.
• Working together with Go To Market and Customer Success in taking full ownership of client relationships - from running pilots with key business units, to onboarding new team members, and ultimately guiding department-wide adoption across corporate legal teams.
• Be the voice of in-house users inside Legora - sharing insights from legal ops teams, commercial lawyers, and compliance functions that directly inform product development, roadmap priorities, and strategic direction.
• Delivering clear, confident product demos and training that bring the power of our platform to life - whether you're presenting to a GC, rolling out to regional teams, or training legal ops professionals.
• Documenting best practices from leading legal departments, contribute to the development of scalable playbooks, and help shape how we grow this function globally.
• Confidently helping in-house teams navigate one of the biggest shifts in how corporate legal operates - from evaluating the ROI and efficiency gains of AI to clearly mapping how AI will impact different functions, from contract management to regulatory compliance.

Benefits

• Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestic and internationally.
• Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
• Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
• In-person environment: Toronto office designed for ambitious builders.
• Professional License & Certification Reimbursement
