Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes. 1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview. We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law. Joining Legora means three things.
We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
We grow together: as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
The role
Legora is expanding rapidly across markets, establishing new legal entities and building the infrastructure required to employ and support people globally.
We’re looking for a People Program Manager for Market Expansion to bring structure, clarity and momentum to this work. You’ll coordinate the People workstream across multiple market launches, connecting Legal, Business Operations, People Operations, People Tech and local external partners to ensure every dependency is understood, owned and delivered.
This is not a role for someone who simply maintains a project plan. You’ll turn ambiguity into an executable roadmap, anticipate risks before they become blockers and drive stakeholders towards decisions and outcomes.
Reporting to the People Operations & People Program Lead, you’ll help build a repeatable market-expansion model that allows Legora to enter new countries quickly without compromising employee experience, compliance or operational quality.

What You'll Do
Own the People workstream for multiple market expansions, from initial scoping and planning through launch and operational handover.
Translate expansion plans into clear roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, decision points and accountable owners.
Coordinate delivery across People Operations, People Tech, Reward, Talent Acquisition, Legal, Finance and external partners.
Establish governance and operating rhythms that create visibility, accelerate decisions and keep delivery on track.
Track progress, risks and interdependencies across markets, escalating blockers early and driving them to resolution.
Define People-readiness criteria for each launch, covering areas such as employment setup, payroll, benefits, policies, systems, employee data, onboarding and internal communication.
Clarify ownership across central teams, local stakeholders and external providers so that nothing falls between functions.
Build and continuously improve a scalable market-expansion playbook, including standard plans, checklists, templates, decision logs and handover requirements.
Ensure new processes are operationally viable, documented and handed over cleanly to the teams that will own them after launch.
Prepare clear updates and decision material for senior stakeholders, making complex issues easy to understand and act on.
Use insights from each launch to simplify future expansions, reduce manual coordination and improve speed and quality.
