Legal Engineer - Strategic Programs Associate

Legora AB • New York, NY

4d • Onsite

About The Position

This is a new role at Legora, built to support and scale our growing Legal Engineering function in the US—helping to deliver world-class AI implementations for the world's leading law firms. It sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution — and is designed for someone who wants to be a true force multiplier for a high-impact team.
You'll work closely with our Strategic Programs Lead and other Legal Engineers to help turn ambitious initiatives into reality, bringing structure, momentum, and follow-through to some of our most strategic efforts.
Some of what you'll be up to:
Supporting the development and execution of Legal Engineering initiatives across the US market
Partnering with Legal Engineers to design and deliver deployment plans, including workplanning, sequencing, and execution
Assisting in the coordination of our Legal Engineering resources for the delivery of local and cross-border implementations and ensuring Legora best practices are followed for global consistency in delivery
Helping launch and scale strategic initiatives within an ever-growing Legal Engineering function
Supporting pilots, client onboarding, and internal rollouts to ensure initiatives land effectively
Monitoring and analysing adoption metrics via our analytics dashboards to identify friction points in the user journey and proposing strategic interventions during the implementation with the Engagement Managers
Establishing impeccable project hygiene: You will be the custodian of our centralised project trackers, shared environments, and action logs. You'll ensure that as we scale across the US, there is a single, perfectly maintained "source of truth" for our programs so that no detail is lost in the noise of a fast-moving rollout
Acting as a connective layer across teams, helping drive clarity, prioritisation, and progress
Bringing a structured, execution-focused mindset to ambiguous problems — and pushing work over the finish line
In short: you'll help Legal Engineers focus on what they do best by making the overall system around them stronger, faster, and more effective.
