Strategic Programs Manager

This is a new role at Legora, built to support and scale our growing Legal Engineering function in the US—helping to deliver world-class AI implementations for the world's leading law firms. It sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution — and is designed for someone who wants to be a true force multiplier for a high-impact team.

You'll work closely with our Strategic Programs Lead and other Legal Engineers to help turn ambitious initiatives into reality, bringing structure, momentum, and follow-through to some of our most strategic efforts.

• Supporting the development and execution of Legal Engineering initiatives across the US market
• Partnering with Legal Engineers to design and deliver deployment plans, including work planning, sequencing, and execution
• Assisting in the coordination of our Legal Engineering resources for the delivery of local and cross-border implementations and ensuring Legora best practices are followed for global consistency in delivery
• Helping launch and scale strategic initiatives within an ever-growing Legal Engineering function
• Supporting pilots, client onboarding, and internal rollouts to ensure initiatives land effectively
• Monitoring and analysing adoption metrics via our analytics dashboards to identify friction points in the user journey and proposing strategic interventions during the implementation with the Engagement Managers
• Establishing impeccable project hygiene: You will be the custodian of our centralised project trackers, shared environments, and action logs. You'll ensure that as we scale across the US, there is a single, perfectly maintained "source of truth" for our programs so that no detail is lost in the noise of a fast-moving rollout
• Acting as a connective layer across teams, helping drive clarity, prioritisation, and progress
• Bringing a structured, execution-focused mindset to ambiguous problems — and pushing work over the finish line

In short: you'll help Legal Engineers focus on what they do best by making the overall system around them stronger, faster, and more effective.

• Have exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
