Senior Corporate Development Manager

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. We’re hiring a Senior Corporate Development Manager to help shape Legora’s long-term growth through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. You’ll sit close to the executive team and operate at the center of some of the company’s most consequential decisions - build, buy, or partner - with a mandate to turn strategy into action. This is a senior, high-impact role with real ownership. You’ll lead complex, cross-functional work end to end, influence product and market strategy, and help define Legora’s trajectory as we scale. What You'll Do You’ll work closely with Legora’s leadership to identify, evaluate, and execute the opportunities that matter most for our long-term growth. From early strategic thinking to deal execution and integration, you’ll own the full lifecycle and help align teams around a clear strategic direction.

You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity, enjoy owning complex problems, and know how to move between big-picture thinking and detailed analysis without losing momentum. More than that, we believe you will bring: 8+ years of relevant professional experience in Corporate Development, Investment Banking, VC/PE, Strategy, or similar roles Demonstrated experience owning M&A and/or strategic partnership processes end to end Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, with the ability to translate complexity into clear recommendations A high degree of autonomy, ownership, and accountability in fast-moving environments A structured, thoughtful approach to problem-solving and decision-making The ability to collaborate effectively with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, and Go-to-Market Nice to Have While not required, we think this role could be an especially strong fit if you’ve operated in high-growth technology environments or worked close to product-led businesses. Experience in adjacent markets or prior operating roles can be a meaningful advantage. More than that, we’d be excited if you bring: Experience in corporate development at a high-growth SaaS or technology company Exposure to legal tech, enterprise software, or regulated B2B markets A background that blends strategy, transactions, and operating experience What's In It For You Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Stockholm, New York, London, and Sydney.
