Executive Business Partner to Chief Financial Officer - New York - Legora

Description

Overview

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been clear that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to ensure 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. When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes that "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. 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?

We're hiring an Executive Business Partner to support Legora's Chief Financial Officer. This is a critical role at the center of the finance organisation, designed to ensure our CFO can stay focused on the highest-impact work as Legora continues to scale.

You'll be a trusted partner to a senior leader operating at high velocity. This role is highly execution-driven and ideal for someone who thrives on bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to complex environments — and who takes pride in enabling leaders to perform at their best.

You'll be part of Legora's broader Executive Operations function, working closely with other Executive Business Partners to share best practices, ensure consistency, and continuously improve how we support our leadership team.

What You'll Do

You'll work in close partnership with the CFO, providing high-quality administrative and operational support that enables focus, speed, and sound decision-making. Over time, you'll develop a deep understanding of priorities, rhythms, and where your support creates the most leverage.

More than that, we believe you will thrive by taking ownership of:

• Providing seamless day-to-day administrative and operational support to the CFO, adapting quickly to shifting priorities and working styles
• Acting as a trusted gatekeeper, managing complex calendars and scheduling with strong business context and judgment
• Owning travel and logistics end to end, including board meetings, investor interactions, offsites, and internal events
• Streamlining communication and coordination across Finance and the wider organisation, ensuring decisions, priorities, and follow-ups are clearly documented and actioned
• Proactively anticipating needs, identifying risks or conflicts early, and proposing thoughtful, practical solutions
• Handling sensitive and confidential information with discretion, professionalism, and sound judgment
• Collaborating closely with the wider Executive Operations team to ensure alignment across the leadership team

Who You Are

You're highly organised, execution-focused, and trusted by the leaders you support. You bring calm, structure, and good judgment to fast-moving environments — and you know how to operate confidently at senior levels of the organisation.

More Than That, We Believe You Bring

• 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Executive Business Partner, or similar role supporting VP-level or C-suite executives
• Proven ability to manage multiple complex priorities and adapt quickly as plans change
• Excellent communication and organisational skills, with strong attention to detail
• Sound business judgment and an instinct for when to escalate versus act independently
• Comfort working across functions, time zones, and seniority levels with professionalism
• High emotional intelligence and the ability to build trust and strong working relationships

Why Legora

This is an opportunity to work at the heart of Legora's finance organisation during a pivotal phase of growth. You'll partner closely with the CFO, have real ownership over how work gets done, and play a meaningful role in helping Legora scale with focus and discipline.

More Than That, We Offer

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
• A high-trust, high-performance environment with low ego
• The chance to make an outsized impact by enabling senior leaders to do their best work
