ABOUT US

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.

2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.

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 building the compensation infrastructure to support a fast-scaling, globally distributed company. We're looking for a Director, Compensation to help shape and scale Legora's approach to pay as we grow. You'll be a key partner to the VP of Rewards, owning the day-to-day design and execution of our compensation programs — from benchmarking and job architecture to salary planning and equity strategy. This is a high-visibility role with real influence over how Legora attracts, rewards, and retains talent globally.

This is a great opportunity for a compensation professional who wants to build (not just maintain) programs at a company still defining its comp infrastructure, with the backing of an experienced Rewards leader.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own and evolve Legora's compensation guidelines, pay structures, and salary ranges across all levels and geographies

- Lead job architecture work — leveling, job family mapping, and career framework design — in partnership with People and business leaders

- Manage compensation benchmarking using market data tools (Pave and Ravio), ensuring Legora's pay stays competitive as the company scales across all our markets

- Lead compensation analytics and insights, including pay equity analysis, range penetration, and executive-ready reporting

- Prepare analyses and recommendations for merit cycles, promotions, and off-cycle pay adjustments

- Build forecasting and planning processes for compensation spend across merit cycles, promotions, adjustments, and equity refreshes

- Partner on equity program design and administration, including RSU/option strategy considerations as the company matures

- Support executive compensation activities, including executive offer packages, annual executive pay review, and equity support

- Advise People Business Partners and managers on offer construction, internal equity, and pay decisions

- Help build scalable compensation processes and tools as Legora's headcount and global footprint grow

- Build governance frameworks for compensation decisions, including exception handling, approvals, documentation standards, and audit readiness

- Manage vendor relationships for compensation survey providers and systems (e.g., Pave, Ravio), including contract negotiations and ongoing performance

- Stay current on pay transparency laws, wage and hour requirements, and data privacy obligations across the geographies Legora operates in

- Lead and develop a Compensation Analyst, building team capability as Legora scales

- Support Compensation Committee deliverables and meetings

WHAT YOU BRING

- 10+ years of progressive compensation experience, including program design and benchmarking at a growing company

- Deep familiarity with compensation benchmarking platforms (Pave, Ravio, or similar) and job architecture frameworks

- Experience supporting equity compensation programs (options and/or RSUs) is a strong plus

- Experience supporting or leading executive compensation processes is a strong plus

- Comfort operating with a builder mindset — you enjoy creating structure where things are still taking shape

- Strong analytical skills paired with the judgment to translate data into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders

- Excellent cross-functional partnership skills; you work well with People, Finance, and business leaders alike

- Experience managing or mentoring a compensation analyst or coordinator, with the ability to grow the team over time

- Experience managing vendor relationships (e.g., survey providers, compensation systems), including negotiations and performance management

- Experience supporting a fast-growing, globally distributed workforce (ideally spanning the U.S., UK, EU/Nordics, and APAC)

REPORTING LINE

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
