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.

Requirements

• Have 2–3 years of experience in management consulting, strategy, or transformation / implementation-focused roles. Experience within a professional services environment (Legal, Big 4, or Management Consulting) is highly preferred
• PowerPoint power-user with a high-velocity output and proven ability to synthesise ‘messy’ ideas into structured, aesthetic, and boardroom-ready decks
• Bring strong analytical skills and can translate data into clear, actionable insights
• Maintain an obsession with user adoption and responding to client needs
• Have exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• Communicate clearly and confidently, with the ability to influence stakeholders across teams
• Take ownership naturally — you don't wait to be told, you move things forward
• Are a practical problem-solver with a strong bias toward execution and operational rigor
• Bring a relentless, hands-on, get-it-done mindset
• Are excited to work in person, collaborating closely with teammates in the office 5 days per week

Responsibilities

• 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.
