Legal Engineer - Knowledge Management
Legora · New York City, New York
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.
At Legora, we're transforming how legal teams work by giving them the first AI-native, collaborative workspace built specifically for lawyers. From contract review to research to drafting, our platform lets legal professionals focus on the high-value work that matters.
We're backed by world-class investors, used by leading global law firms, and scaling fast.
Our Legal Engineers sit at the center of how law firms adopt Legora: they translate how lawyers actually work into workflows, playbooks, and use cases on our platform. We're hiring a Legal Engineer with experience in knowledge management or learning and development to own the enablement strategy for the North American Legal Engineering team. This is a foundational role. You'll build the knowledge systems, programs, and playbooks that turn the best of what our Legal Engineers know into repeatable performance for every Legal Engineer, and you'll do it with the credibility of someone who has run knowledge management inside a law firm.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
OWN THE ENABLEMENT STRATEGY FOR OUR NORTH AMERICA LEGAL ENGINEER TEAM
- Define the vision, roadmap, and success metrics for Legal Engineering enablement across onboarding, ramp, and ongoing development.
- Diagnose where Legal Engineers are slowed down, whether that is product depth, legal workflow fluency, or customer-facing skills, and prioritize programs against the metrics that matter: ramp time, customer adoption, workflow quality, and deal support.
CAPTURE AND SCALE WHAT OUR BEST LEGAL ENGINEERS KNOW
- Build the knowledge management backbone for the team: a living library of playbooks, workflow templates, use-case guides, discovery and demo frameworks, and customer-ready examples, organized so people can find and trust what they need in the moment.
- Set up the processes for capturing expertise from top performers and from customer engagements, curating it, keeping it current, and retiring what is stale.
- Establish taxonomy, ownership, and governance for team knowledge, including how it is tagged by practice area, customer segment, and sales stage.
BUILD PROGRAMS THAT MAKE LEGAL ENGINEERS EXCELLENT
- Design and run onboarding and certification programs covering product mastery, legal practice and workflow fluency, discovery, solution design, and presenting to lawyers and law firm leadership.
- Create coaching, peer-learning, and practice-group deep-dive formats that put real legal work at the center of how the team learns.
- Translate how law firms think about training, precedent, and adoption into how we enable our own team and, through them, our customers.
DRIVE HIGH-IMPACT MOMENTS
- Partner on enablement for product launches, new use cases, and market shifts so Legal Engineers show up prepared, consistent, and credible in every customer conversation.
- Embed AI-native ways of working, including Claude skills and workflows, into how Legal Engineers prepare for and follow up on customer work.
WHO YOU ARE
- 5+ years of experience in a law firm or legal organization, with a focus on knowledge management or law firm learning and development (L&D). Practice innovation or legal technology roles also count. You have held a KM manager, L&D manager, or equivalent position at a law firm.
- Deep fluency in how lawyers work, learn, and adopt technology. You have run training and adoption efforts for attorneys and earned their trust.
- A builder with strong systems thinking: you take scattered know-how and turn it into structured, searchable, maintained resources that people actually use.
- Exceptional communicator with the presence to partner with senior leaders and the rigor to hold programs accountable to outcomes.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, high-growth technology company, even if you haven't worked in one before.
BONUS POINTS IF…
- You have implemented or evaluated legal AI, document automation, or other legal technology inside a law firm.
- You have built playbooks, precedent banks, or know-how programs that measurably changed how lawyers worked.
- You have experience with technical onboarding, certification, or customer-facing implementation or solutions work.
- You have supported multiple practice groups, offices, or geographies
A few more things:
We're a fast-growing company with bold ambitions, so you'll be joining at a time when things are moving quickly - in the best possible way. You'll have a lot of autonomy, a lot of responsibility, and the chance to genuinely shape how this function evolves. Everyone here has a founder-mentality.
If that sounds exciting, we'd love to hear from you.
