About Us

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.

What You'll Do

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.

More than that, we believe you will thrive by taking ownership of:

  • Partnering with executive leadership to define and execute a long-term procurement and corporate services strategy aligned with company growth

  • Owning strategic sourcing across key spend categories, including SaaS, cloud infrastructure, marketing, professional services, real estate, and facilities

  • Leading complex vendor negotiations for new contracts and renewals, with a focus on cost optimization, commercial flexibility, and risk mitigation

  • Developing sourcing roadmaps, renewal calendars, and savings targets to drive measurable financial impact

  • Building strong supplier partnerships while holding vendors accountable to performance, compliance, and service-level expectations

  • Overseeing real estate and facilities strategy, including lease negotiations, buildouts, vendor selection, and workplace services

  • Establishing scalable procurement workflows, policies, governance, and tooling to improve visibility, audit-ability, and internal client satisfaction

  • Owning procurement systems and spend reporting to deliver actionable insights and disciplined budget management

  • Leading and mentoring a high-performing team, fostering a culture of operational excellence and strong cross-functional partnership

What You Bring

You combine strong commercial judgment with hands-on execution. You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity, enjoy building structure where it doesn’t yet exist, and know how to balance big-picture strategy with detailed contract and vendor management work.

More than that, we believe you will bring:

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, or vendor management

  • Significant experience negotiating complex SaaS, cloud, professional services, and/or real estate contracts

  • Experience leading and developing high-performing teams in a senior leadership capacity

  • Deep expertise in sourcing strategy, vendor selection, contract negotiation, supplier performance management, and cost optimization

  • A track record of managing multi-million-dollar budgets and delivering measurable savings and operational efficiencies

  • Strong cross-functional partnership skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders across Finance, IT, Security, HR, and Legal

  • Comfort reviewing and redlining commercial terms in close collaboration with legal teams

  • A structured, pragmatic approach to problem-solving, with the ability to operate both strategically and hands-on

Nice to Have

While not required, we think this role could be an especially strong fit if you’ve helped scale procurement or corporate services functions in high-growth SaaS or technology companies.

More than that, we’d be excited if you bring:

  • Experience leading global procurement or facilities operations across multiple regions

  • Background in lease negotiations, real estate portfolio strategy, or facilities vendor management

  • Familiarity with Zip procurement and SaaS management tools

  • A blend of strategic sourcing expertise and operational leadership in fast-paced, scaling environments

What's In It For You
  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Stockholm, New York, London, and Sydney.

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

  • Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.

  • In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.

  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:
    Medical, Dental & Vision

    • Multiple medical plan options via Aetna and Kaiser Permanente

    • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)

    • Dental plans via MetLife

    • Vision plans via Vision Care

    Family Support

    • Generous parental leave

    • Free access to Maven Clinic

    • Dependent Care FSA

    • Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents

    Additional Perks

    • Pre-tax commuter benefits

    • Life Insurance + STD/LTD

    • 401(K) with generous company match

    • Unlimited PTO

    • Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more
