Re:work · New York, United States
Apply & track with Apply EdgeRe:work is partnering with Legora to hire their first Global Head of G&A Talent Acquisition, based in New York.Legora has grown from about 40 to over 900 people in 18 months and is heading toward 1,500 by the end of the year. You'd be hiring the teams behind the CFO, General Counsel, VP People, VP Operations and CIO, while all five are still building their functions.Legora is the agentic operating system for legal work, built with lawyers rather than just for them. 130,000 lawyers use it every month, across 2,100 firms and legal teams in more than 80 countries. They recently doubled ARR to $200M in under six months, and more than half of the AmLaw 50 (the largest US law firms) work with them.The roleYou'll build and lead a new G&A recruiting team, hiring 8+ Talent Partners across New York and Stockholm. You'll work with each of those leaders from day one. They're building fast, and each has a clear view of what strong looks like.Legora's CFO calls talent density the most important investment the company makes, and a lot of that gets decided in this role. This is a build role: you'll design how G&A hiring works at Legora's next stage while keeping the current searches moving. You'll be based in their Union Square office five days a week, alongside the executives you're hiring for.What you'll doDesign the G&A recruiting setup for a company in hypergrowth. That covers team structure, pods, process, tooling, scorecards, interviewer quality, executive search and accountability.Run recruiting on data. Know the funnel in detail: capacity per recruiter, time to fill, conversion by stage, offer acceptance, source quality, aging reqs, hiring manager performance and agency spend. Use it to find the bottlenecks and fix them.Turn demand into a plan. If the business needs 50 people hired, you build the capacity plan, identify the constraints, put the resources in place and drive it until the hiring happens.Give the executive team clear answers: how many recruiters are needed, which roles deserve a search firm, how many hires a recruiter should close each quarter, and which reqs come first.Hold a high bar across Finance, Legal, People, IT and Operations, and challenge hiring managers when a brief or a candidate isn't right.Hire and develop your team across New York and Stockholm, and adapt how you hire to the different US and European markets.Who we're looking forYou've been through hyperscale yourself. You've helped a company grow to thousands of employees, and you know what it takes to hire quickly without lowering the bar.You manage recruiting through data more than instinct, and you have strong opinions that come from experience.You know what exceptional looks like across G&A functions, you've built a recruiting team from the ground up, and you've hired on both sides of the Atlantic. You move quickly and you own the outcome.Open to hearing more?Apply through this post and we'll set up a confidential 30-minute chat. We'll walk you through the team, the stakeholders and the comp, and you can decide from there.
