Partnerships Manager, Law School Partnerships

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.

About the role

We’re looking for an independent, highly driven individual to help scale Legora’s law school partnerships through strategic, high-impact initiatives. This role is critical to advancing Legora’s brand and positioning across the legal community in the US and internationally.

Reporting to the Head of Partnerships, you’ll sit at the intersection of legal education, technology, and ecosystem building — working closely with academic institutions, internal teams, and the broader legal community to embed Legora into how future lawyers learn and work.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of Legora’s law school partnerships end-to-end, ensuring partners are enabled, engaged, and aligned with Legora’s long-term goals.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Ensuring partner institutions are fully enabled on the Legora platform, using your legal subject-matter expertise to identify, articulate, and support relevant use cases.

• Launching and owning initiatives to drive platform usage across law school partners, including co-creating content and programs with faculty, clinics, journals, and other stakeholders.

• Building strong relationships and champions within partner organisations, supporting long-term adoption and advocacy.

• Coordinating cross-functionally with Go-to-Market, Enablement, Customer Engagement, and Marketing teams to ensure partner needs are met and incentives are aligned.

• Identifying gaps in Legora’s partnership strategy and designing, executing, and iterating on solutions to strengthen our professional and academic community partnerships.

• Operating effectively in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, adapting priorities and approaches as the business scales.

You bring a strong foundation in law, paired with the drive and organisational skills needed to run complex partnership initiatives.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Hold a JD from a top US law school.

• Have 5+ years of professional experience, with a strong emphasis on project or program management.

• Possess a clear understanding of the legal sector, including law firm practice areas, lawyer workflows, and common pain points.

• Have a proven ability to build trusted relationships and champions within complex organizations.

• Are highly organized and comfortable managing multiple fast-paced initiatives simultaneously.

• Thrive in high-growth, dynamic environments, and can pivot quickly as priorities evolve.

Nice to have (but not required):

• 2–3 years of experience practicing at a US law firm (litigation or transactional).

• Experience working with the academic sector, particularly with US law school faculty.

• Background in legal clinics or law school journals.

• Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
