Technical Delivery Lead - Chicago

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.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
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.

As Technical Delivery Lead, you will own how Legora's customers across the region

go live and scale. You will lead and grow a team of Technical Delivery Managers who run

end-to-end implementations, from SSO to document-management integrations, and you

will stay close enough to the work to step into the projects yourself.

This is a player-coach role. You set the delivery standard for the US, make sure every

customer has a clear path from kickoff to adoption, and act as the link between the

delivery team and Sales, Customer Success, Engineering and Product. You will also help

shape the delivery playbook as Legora keeps expanding across the region.

What You'll Do

Lead the US delivery team

• Manage, coach and develop a team of Technical Delivery Managers across US,

  including hiring, onboarding and performance

• Allocate projects across the team based on complexity, customer priority and

  capacity, and keep workloads sustainable

• Set clear expectations for quality, timelines and customer communication, and hold

  the team to them

Own delivery outcomes for the region

• Oversee the pipeline of integration projects from kickoff through go-live, and step in

  early when a project is at risk

• Act as the senior technical escalation point for complex implementations, including

• SSO, authentication, and document-management integrations

• Track delivery metrics such as time to go-live, project health and customer

  satisfaction, and report on them to leadership

Build the delivery engine

• Standardize how the US delivers: playbooks, technical documentation, test plans and

  rollout checklists that the team can reuse

• Improve how delivery hands off to support, Customer Success and adoption teams

  after go-live

• Work with global delivery leads so that practices stay consistent across regions while

  reflecting local customer needs, such as data residency and regional security

  requirements

Work across the business

  adoption

  the roadmap and make future implementations easier
