About The Position

As Operations Manager, you will join a lean, high-impact Operations team and drive execution across some of Legora’s most critical initiatives - including international expansion, post-merger integrations, organisational scaling, and operational improvements.
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys owning complex problems end to end. You will operate as a cross-functional project owner, bringing structure to ambiguity, driving progress, and ensuring outcomes are delivered.
While the role is intentionally broad, we believe in building T-shaped operators. You will start with a general Operations mandate, with clear opportunities over time to go deep and become the owner of specific areas such as international expansion, post-merger integration, organisational design, or other priorities as the company scales.
You’ll work closely with teams across Operations, Growth, Finance, People, Legal, and Engineering to improve how we operate and help Legora scale effectively.
You will be challenged, learn quickly, and have real ownership over outcomes that that materially impact the business.

Requirements

• Strong experience in operations, business management, consulting, or fast-growing startup environments (typically 4–6+ years, or equivalent depth of experience)
• A proven ability to lead and execute complex, cross-functional initiatives end to end
• Hands-on experience working closely with senior leaders or founders, with exposure to high-stakes decision-making
• Comfort operating in dynamic environments where problems are not fully defined, and solutions need to be built rather than maintained
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
• A structured, low-ego working style with a clear bias toward outcomes

Responsibilities

• Identifying operational bottlenecks early and resolving them hands-on, in close collaboration with relevant teams
• Help design, document, and improve processes and playbooks that enable scale over time
• Supporting the leadership team with structured problem-solving, execution discipline, and clear, decision-oriented communication
• Playing an active role in shaping how Legora operates as the company scales
