Legora AB • New York, NY

About The Position

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way.
Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality.
Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design.
When you join Legora, you become 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.
We’re not just shaping the future of legal tech — we’re defining it. Ready to join us in building the intelligent future of law?

We’re hiring a Director of Procurement to build and scale a world-class procurement and corporate services function. You’ll sit close to the executive team and operate at the center of critical decisions around spend, vendor strategy, real estate, and operational infrastructure — with a mandate to turn strategy into scalable execution.
This is a high-impact role with real ownership. You’ll define our sourcing and procurement strategy end to end, lead complex negotiations, and build the processes, systems, and teams that support the company’s next stage of growth.
You’ll work closely with Finance leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to design and execute a forward-looking procurement and corporate services strategy. From sourcing and vendor negotiations to facilities partnerships and process optimization, you’ll own the full lifecycle and help align teams around disciplined, high-impact decision-making.
