Communications 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 We’re seeking a Communications Manager based in New York City to build and scale Legora’s external narrative in North America across press, exec communications, thought leadership, and strategic storytelling. You’ll own how we show up publicly — shaping the stories, messages, and moments that define the category and cement Legora as the most credible and exciting voice in AI for legal work. Reporting to the VP Communications in Stockholm, you’ll be embedded with the local Marketing and GTM teams, and work closely with teams across Marketing, Product, GTM, Legal, and Leadership, to translate what we’re building — and why it matters — into narratives that resonate with customers, media, talent, partners, and the broader industry. You’re a storyteller with precision, taste, and the ability to translate complexity into clarity. You thrive at the intersection of strategy and craft — able to zoom out to narrative architecture and zoom in to sentence-level detail. You’re fast, structured, and obsessed with building trust through truth. Communications is one of Legora’s most strategic levers for shaping the category. In a space full of noise and speculation, credibility is currency — and narrative discipline is a competitive advantage. The stories you create will influence how the industry understands AI for legal work, and why Legora is defining the frontier. If we succeed, it will be because our story is clear, our voice is trusted, and our narrative sets the pace for the category — not the other way around. What You’ll Do Communications Strategy & Narrative Development Build and execute Legora’s communications strategy for North America across earned channels. Define messaging frameworks that clarify our category, technology, and customer value. Develop and protect a consistent narrative that scales across teams and touch-points. Media Relations & Press Operations Cultivate strong relationships with reporters covering AI, business, technology, and the legal industry. Own the end-to-end press pipeline: pitches, briefings, media kits, and press activation moments. Prepare spokespeople with clear talking points, briefing documents, and ongoing narrative coaching. Executive Communications Partner directly with Leadership to craft high-signal external comms: speeches, op-eds, keynote scripts, long-form posts, and interviews. Ensure a consistent voice across channels, reinforcing credibility, clarity, and category leadership. Thought Leadership & Content Creation Turn complex ideas (AI capabilities, legal workflows, customer adoption, product architecture) into accessible, compelling stories. Develop long-form narrative assets: white-papers, announcements, deep dives, and industry POVs. Develop campaigns around launches, milestones, and category moments. Issues Management & Strategic Positioning Monitor category conversations, emerging risks, competitive narratives, and external debates. Advise leadership on communications decisions that require nuance, judgment, and speed. Ensure Legora shows up with truth, clarity, and authority. Measurement & Optimization Build a measurement framework for communications impact across reach, sentiment, share of voice, and narrative resonance. Run experiments with formats, channels, and message angles — scaling what moves the needle. Maintain a library of messaging, resources, and reusable story assets. What You Bring 5–7+ years of experience in communications, PR, editorial, or strategic narrative roles — ideally in high-growth, technical, or product-led environments. Demonstrated experience owning press narratives and securing coverage that shapes perception. Excellent writing, editing, and storytelling skills with an ability to simplify complexity. Ability to build repeatable messaging frameworks and communication systems. Experience preparing executives for media, speeches, or public commentary. Analytical mindset with the ability to measure sentiment, coverage quality, and message pull-through. Fluent English communication skills.

Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily. In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.
