About the role

  • When a company raises $550M, triples its valuation in under six months, and opens offices across four continents inside a year, the finance function doesn't get to move slowly.
  • Legora's CFO oversees a global team operating across the US, Europe, and APAC, holding the company to a high standard across every market it enters.

Responsibilities

  • Own the people agenda for the finance function globally, partnering with the CFO and their leadership team on org design, workforce planning, headcount decisions, and team structure
  • Proactively identify organisational challenges before they become systemic. Build a deep understanding of the function's ambitions, risks, and capability gaps and get ahead of them
  • Set and hold the performance bar. Drive calibration, coach leaders through difficult conversations, and intervene early when standards slip rather than after the damage is done
  • Support leaders across the finance function as they navigate a period of significant growth, operating at a scale and pace many haven't encountered before
  • Own complex ER matters, restructurings, and multi-jurisdictional employment topics in partnership with regional People Partners across EMEA and APAC
  • A background in a senior HRBP or People Partner role, with meaningful time in a high-growth B2B SaaS or enterprise tech environment
  • Deep experience across the full people agenda: org design, performance, leadership development, compensation, ER, and organisational change at pace
  • Comfortable building from scratch with a strong bias toward action. You create structure where none exists and move without waiting for perfect conditions
  • This isn't a support role.
  • Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.

Requirements

  • A track record as a trusted advisor to senior finance or operational leadership, shaping decisions rather than supporting them.
  • Solid working knowledge of New York employment law.

Skills

  • Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.

Compensation

  • Deep experience across the full people agenda: org design, performance, leadership development, compensation, ER, and organisational change at pace
