We grow together : as a team and with our customers. Legal Engineering does not fit neatly into a traditional box. It combines legal practice, product fluency, enterprise change, commercial judgment and client leadership. As Director, Legal Engineering, your mission is to make Legal Engineering the commercial and delivery engine for Canada, anchored in our Toronto office. Reporting to the Head of Legal Engineering, North America, you will set the craft bar, build the Canadian team and its Team Lead layer, partner closely with Go-to-Market and Engagement, lead selectively on the highest-stakes clients, and turn local learning into playbooks that scale across the Canadian market. Your primary output will be the quality and performance of the team and system you build. You will stay close enough to the product and the work to coach credibly, while moving your own time toward hiring, leadership development, senior relationships, market strategy and cross-functional execution. You will have the autonomy to shape how Legal Engineering runs in a strategically important market, together with the responsibility to keep that model connected to Legora's North American and global standards. Lead the Legal Engineering function for Canada from the Toronto office, including its operating rhythm, quality bar,



capacity model and local partnership with Go-to-Market and Engagement. Hire exceptional Legal Engineers and future leaders. Own the quality bar from sourcing and interview calibration through closing, onboarding and ramp. Build a manager layer of Team Leads who each own and develop a group of Legal Engineers. Coach hard, set clear expectations and act decisively when the performance or values bar is not met. Partner with Canadian commercial leadership on priority accounts, pilots, rollouts and escalations. Connect Legal Engineering activity to conversion, adoption, usage, expansion and revenue. Act as the lead legal architect on selected enterprise engagements. Translate a real legal problem into a concrete Legora workflow, then turn successful delivery into a reusable playbook others can run. Oversee complex, multi-stakeholder programs with clear governance, owners, outcomes, leading indicators and risk management. Build trusted relationships with Managing Partners, General Counsels, Heads of Innovation, Legal Operations leaders and other senior stakeholders. Shape Legora's point of view on AI and legal work in Canada. Contribute through executive client forums, events, writing and practical market insight grounded in first-hand work. Create clean handoffs across Go-to-Market, Legal Engineering and Engagement so that commercial momentum, delivery quality and long-term adoption reinforce one another. You treat hiring as company-building work. You give the team credit, absorb accountability for misses and create enough trust that bad news travels early. Performance bar and decisive judgment. The practical test is easy: the Canadian team should produce better work,



stronger leaders and more repeatable customer outcomes because of the system you built, not because you personally carried every important engagement.
