About The Position

Legora is an AI-native legal software company at an inflection point. We're scaling from a lean startup and our leadership team is growing across four continents. This is a true leadership role and your chance to shape how world-class support looks from the inside, and make AI and automation core to how executive support gets done. EAs are the connective tissue of any high-functioning executive team. Right now, we have strong individual EAs, but we need someone to build the system: the standards, the playbooks, the culture. If you want to build something that lasts, work with leaders who value you, and see your fingerprints on how a real company operates, this is it!

Requirements

8+ years of proven EA excellence at the C-Level, supporting CEOs and senior executives.
2+ years developing a team across multiple offices and time zones, leading EAs or another executive-support function.
A systems builder's mindset, thinking in playbooks, rotas, and standards.
An automation-first mindset, with experience using automation to reduce workload.
Leadership through example and structure, providing clear visibility and direct feedback.
Trusted and discreet, handling confidential information with integrity.
Calm under pressure and comfortable in high-growth environments, able to build structure while the business moves forward.

Responsibilities

Lead a distributed EA team across four offices and time zones, establishing team rhythm, building culture, and ensuring knowledge flow.
Co-own the Legora EA operating system with the CEO Office, developing playbooks for calendar management, travel, expenses, meeting preparation, inbox handling, and cross-team coverage.
Lead the automation and AI initiative for EA work, identifying value, piloting new tools, and establishing AI as standard practice.
Grow the EA team with the company by partnering with the Chief of Staff and People team on hiring, capacity planning, recruitment, and onboarding.
Ensure global coverage so no executive is without support by coordinating coverage, balancing load, adjusting matches, and managing executive handoffs.
Serve as the escalation point for issues, resolving them calmly and feeding learnings back into team processes.
Develop every EA through clear expectations, regular 1:1s, direct feedback, and partnership with executives on performance and growth paths.
