People Tech Manager

**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?** **The Role** As our People Tech Manager, you’ll own the design, implementation, and scaling of our HR systems, tools, and data infrastructure that power our people operations as we grow 3× over the next 10 months. Reporting to and working closely with the People Tech Lead, you’ll work hands\-on across our HR tech stack while partnering closely with People Enablement, IT, Finance, Legal, and business leaders. **Your mission:** ensure our people infrastructure scales ahead of the company, not behind it. **What You’ll Do** **System Management \& Optimisation** * Own, manage and improve our people technology stack, including HRIS, ATS, document management systems, and the cloud\-based integrations that connect them. * Configure systems for scalability, security, and regulatory compliance, proactively anticipating future requirements. * Maintain data accuracy, system reliability, and technical documentation to ensure a single source of truth for people data. **Automation \& Integration** * Design and build integrations that create seamless, reliable data flows between systems. * Identify manual, repetitive processes across the employee lifecycle and automate them. * Build custom solutions where off\-the\-shelf tools fall short. **Process Design \& Enablement** * Translate complex HR operations and regulatory requirements into scalable, system\-driven solutions that embed compliance by design while increasing operational velocity and efficiency. * Enable the People Enablement team and managers to use systems confidently and effectively, designing intuitive, user\-centric processes that require little to no training—even for non\-technical users. * Design and document scalable processes across the full employee lifecycle, from hire to retire. **Who You Are** You are a systems\-oriented builder. When you encounter manual processes, you instinctively think about how they could be automated, standardised, or eliminated. You balance technical execution with long\-term thinking. You are comfortable configuring complex HRIS workflows and integrations, preferably code\-first solutions (Typescript) while planning for future requirements at a significantly larger scale (1000\+ employees and beyond). You approach internal tools with a product mindset. You consider usability, reliability, and adoption across the entire organisation, and you understand when to optimise for robustness versus when to deliver a pragmatic, iterative solution. **What We’re Looking For** * 2\-4\+ years of experience managing internal technology in high\-growth environments. * Deep, hands\-on experience with modern HRIS platforms and the broader HR technology ecosystem. * Ideally, a strong Typescript foundation to maintain, operate, and evolve cloud\-based integrations and event\-driven workflows. * Strong project management skills, with experience delivering multi\-system implementations in fast\-paced environments. * Experience with people analytics, data governance, and dashboarding/reporting. * Comfort making decisions with incomplete information and iterating quickly. **Why This Role Matters** People technology is foundational to how Legora scales. Every system you implement, process you automate, and data structure you design directly shapes organisational speed, data integrity, and regulatory compliance —enabling impact at pace. If you want to build world\-class people operations through intelligent systems, automation, and thoughtful technical design—and see the impact of your work immediately and at scale—this role is for you. **Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer** At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high\-performance culture where everyone can do their best work. We welcome people of all backgrounds and don’t discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
