Director, Engagement - West

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. 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. ABOUT THE ROLE The way legal work gets done is changing, and Engagement is at the center of that transformation. We're looking for an experienced, strategic Engagement Director to build and lead a multi-layered team within our growing Engagement org that helps the world's top law firms and corporations fundamentally change the way they work with Legora. This is a role for someone who has led change inside large, complex organizations and built and scaled the teams — and the leaders — that deliver it, and knows that real transformation is designed and managed. You will own the adoption and long-term success of an entire vertical (e.g., Enterprise Firms, East or Mid-Market Corps, West) — leading a team of Engagement Associates, Managers, and Senior Managers who build the relationships and define the outcomes, while you reserve yourself for the most strategic accounts and C-suite relationships as the senior strategic advisor who ensures Legora becomes an embedded part of how legal teams operate. At the heart of the role is defining the engagement model for your vertical and building the frameworks and standards your team uses to design each client's adoption playbook and deliver multi-year change-management programs that transform how they work. Across the portfolios in your vertical you'll set the bar for how a tailored roadmap is built, how initiatives are sequenced from initial rollout through firm-wide scaled adoption, how measurable outcomes and ROI are defined, and how the program evolves as new AI capabilities and use cases emerge. You will be critical as we continue to build a best-in-class adoption program at Legora, partnering with Leadership to scale the teams, leaders, and standards that help clients realize measurable ROI, expand successful use cases and transform the way their teams work. WHAT YOU’LL DO You'll lead the post-sale customer experience for a vertical (e.g., Enterprise Firms, East or Enterprise Corporates, East) — owning onboarding, adoption and long-term value realization across every account in it, through the teams and leaders you build. Specifically, you will: - Define the engagement model for your vertical, setting the standard for how your team designs each client's adoption playbook: the tailored change-management approach, stakeholder map and target outcomes for how that customer adopts Legora and transforms the way they work. - Build the operating rhythms — portfolio and pipeline reviews, health inspection, coaching cadences — that keep the team executing against those playbooks at scale, sequencing initiatives from initial rollout to firm-wide scaled adoption and adapting as clients' needs an…
