Senior People Partner, UK & I

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.

About the role

Legora is scaling rapidly, and with that growth comes real demands on leadership, organizational design, performance, and culture. As a Senior People Partner, based in London, you'll act as the strategic owner of the people agenda for a function, supporting UK & Ireland teams. You'll be a true thought partner to senior leadership, shaping the organization as it scales while driving performance, accountability, and organizational health.

You'll own the people strategy for your function across UK & Ireland, reporting to the Director, Business Partnering EMEA, and working closely with our Employee Relations function on case management as it arises. You'll also partner with Legora's Centers of Excellence (Talent Acquisition, Compensation & Benefits, People Programs, People Data & Tech) to turn global frameworks into real impact.

What you will be doing

• Own the people strategy for your function and translate business priorities into a forward-looking people agenda
• Partner with senior leadership on organizational design, workforce planning, and scaling decisions
• Coach leaders on performance, accountability, feedback, and change management
• Act as a strategic partner through growth, reorganizations, and organizational change
• Monitor organizational health and culture, flagging risks early
• Partner with Compensation & Benefits on levelling and compensation reviews
• Serve as the key connection point between your function and the broader People organization

Who you are

• 7+ years as a HRBP or People Partner in a high-growth or scaling environment
• Proven track record advising senior leadership — shaping decisions, not just supporting them
• Deep experience across org design, performance, leadership development, compensation, and change at scale
• Experienced in a Center of Excellence model
• Solid working knowledge of UK employment law and comfort navigating multi-jurisdictional complexity
• Calm under pressure, decisive in ambiguity, and confident challenging senior stakeholders
• Genuinely motivated by high-performance cultures — you see hiring bar, performance, and accountability as business priorities, not HR ones
