Total Rewards Manager

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed. 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, allowing teams to focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes. 1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America, and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, and Graceview.

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.

The role of Total Rewards Manager involves leading Legora's compensation architecture and equity programs, which are crucial for attracting and retaining exceptional talent. Reporting into the VP of Total Rewards, you will be responsible for compensation banding, equity administration, and ensuring that every compensation decision is principled, competitive, and fair. This is a builder's role, translating our reward strategy into scalable systems as we grow.

What you will do:

• Define and maintain compensation bands across Legora's job architecture, ensuring levels are consistently applied and market-aligned.
• Lead the annual compensation review cycle end-to-end: benchmarking, calibration, offer modelling, and manager communication.
• Be Legora's people-side expert on equity, understanding our equity programs, employee participation, vesting cycles, and how equity connects to performance and total reward.
• Implement and evolve our compensation frameworks and total reward practices in line with the global strategy.
• Conduct ongoing market benchmarking across all markets, using data to ensure Legora stays ahead of the curve.
• Partner with Finance on compensation planning, equity modelling, and reward analytics.
• Collaborate with Legal to ensure compliance in compensation and equity practices.
• Build clear toolkits, templates, and policies that make reward decisions scalable and consistent.
• Educate and enable managers and employees to understand and trust our reward philosophy.

Who you are:

• You think in systems and love the intersection of data, structure, and people.
• 7+ years in compensation, total rewards — ideally in a high-growth tech or scale-up environment.
• Strong expertise in compensation banding and benchmarking.
• Solid understanding of equity programs: plan structures, grant cycles, vesting, and how equity fits into the broader total reward picture.
• Strong analytical skills — comfortable turning data into insights and decisions.
• A track record of partnering effectively with Finance and Legal.
• Excellent communication skills: able to translate complex reward topics into clear language for any audience.
