Director, Engagement - Enterprise, East

About the role

The Engagement Director will build and lead a multi-layered team within our growing Engagement org. This role is for someone who has led change inside large, complex organizations and built and scaled the teams — and the leaders — that deliver it, and knows that real transformation is designed and managed.

This is a role for someone who understands that real transformation is designed and managed, and that scaling it across a vertical takes a high-performing team and the leaders to run it. You will own the adoption and long-term success of an entire vertical (e.g., Enterprise Firms, East or Mid-Market Corps, West).

What You’ll Do

• Define the engagement model for your vertical, setting the standard for how your team designs each client's adoption playbook: the tailored change-management approach, stakeholder map and target outcomes for how that customer adopts Legora and transforms the way they work.
• Build the operating rhythms — portfolio and pipeline reviews, health inspection, coaching cadences — that keep the team executing against those playbooks at scale, sequencing initiatives from initial rollout to firm-wide scaled adoption and adapting as clients' needs and Legora's capabilities evolve.
• Coach the team — including other people managers — to act as strategic advisors who deeply understand client goals and legal workflows, reserving yourself for the most strategic accounts and C-suite relationships, to engage executive sponsors, surface high-impact opportunities, and guide clients toward maximum value from Legora.
• Set the standard for how the team drives sustained value through a structured operating cadence: success plans, enablement, stakeholder check-ins, training and value reviews — turning what works across portfolios into repeatable, scalable motions the whole vertical adopts.
• Partner with Leadership and orchestrate engagement from cross-functional teams across your vertical to accelerate client success (GTM, Product, Legal Engineering, Engineering, Marketing, Support), maintaining end-to-end context across your portfolio and shaping how Legora delivers value.
• Partner with GTM leadership on key commercial moments across the vertical to ensure seamless handoffs, continuity, and a great customer experience, and to identify and realize expansion opportunities — coaching the team to lead these conversations and stepping in on the most complex or strategic renewals and expansions.
• Translate vertical-level feedback into action by collaborating closely with Leadership, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to shape roadmap, positioning, and enablement.

What You Bring

• You care deeply about customer outcomes and you know that transformation has to be designed and led — and that scaling it across a vertical takes a high-performing team and the leaders to run it. You're proactive, strategic and comfortable steering demanding, senior stakeholders and executive sponsors through significant change.
• You take pride in being the reason customers — and the teams behind them — adopt, grow and succeed. You have a consulting or transformation background, with a demonstrated track record of designing and delivering change-management programs inside large, complex organizations — and building and leading the teams — and leaders — that deliver them at scale.
• You have experience building the standards and operating rhythms that scale tailored, client-level transformation roadmaps and adoption plans across a vertical and steering them to measurable outcomes. You have 10+ years in management consulting, customer success, account management, or a related field, with 5+ years managing client-facing teams — including other managers and team leads — ideally with exposure to high-growth B2B SaaS or Legal Tech.
• You have experience working with legal, compliance, or other regulated and complex industries or the ability to learn a complex domain exceptionally fast. You have strong operational discipline; you build inspection frameworks and run tight rhythms that keep multi-workstream initiatives moving across multiple teams and your clients confident.
• You have excellent communication skills and strong executive presence — written, verbal, and interpersonal. You are trusted in the boardroom with C-suite and legal leaders, coach your team and leaders through them, and roll up your sleeves with hands-on teams. You have high EQ: you know when to listen, when to advise, when to coach and when to act — and when to step in versus let your team and leaders lead.
• You have a deep data fluency; you read portfolio metrics and account health with rigor and use them to drive decisions across the vertical.
