About this Senior Operations Manager, ESG & Sustainability role at Legora AB

Legora AB · Onsite · Stockholm HQ

About Us

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.

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.

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.

The Role

As Legora scales across Europe and sells to the world's largest law firms and enterprises, sustainability moves from nice-to-have to a requirement — in regulation (CSRD), in procurement, and in the due-diligence questionnaires our clients send. This is a founding role to stand up Legora's ESG function and own it end to end.

You will build Legora's ESG programme from scratch: the reporting that satisfies CSRD, the carbon accounting and offset programme, and the credibility to represent Legora directly to clients and prospects on sustainability. You report to the VP of Operations and partner with Finance, Legal, Workplace, and Revenue. This is part compliance, part programme-building, part client-facing. Two things make it specific to Legora: every reporting workflow should be AI-automated rather than hand-run, and — because an AI company's climate story is a compute story — you'll navigate the footprint of large datacentres and stay ahead of where efficiency is heading as chips get better.

What You'll Do

  • Stand up and take long-term ownership of Legora's ESG function — defining the strategy, commitments, and operating plan to ensure our frameworks mature as the company grows.

  • Automate the reporting stack: build AI-driven workflows for CSRD and RFP/security questionnaires so disclosures are generated, not hand-assembled.

  • Own CSRD readiness and reporting: scope the requirements, build the data collection, and produce the disclosures with Finance and Legal.

  • Own Legora's compute and datacentre climate footprint — model it, track efficiency trends as chips and datacentres improve, and turn it into a credible forward-looking story.

  • Build the GHG/carbon accounting model and run the carbon offset programme — measurement, reduction targets, and credible offsets.

  • Represent Legora on sustainability calls with client leadership teams, CXOs, and partner groups, and own the ESG due-diligence response.

  • Drive audit readiness and keep the programme defensible as regulation and client expectations evolve.

 

What You Bring

  • 8+ years in ESG, sustainability, or a related compliance/operating role, with hands-on reporting experience.

  • Deep AI and datacentre fluency — you can navigate the climate footprint of large datacentres and see ahead on efficiency trends as chips and compute get better.

  • An AI-first mindset — you automate reporting (CSRD, EcoVadis, CDP, SBTi, RFP) with AI rather than running it by hand.

  • Working knowledge of CSRD and GHG accounting (or the ability to get up to speed fast and own it).

  • Comfortable client-facing — you hold your own on calls with client leadership teams, CXOs, and partner groups.

  • A great, direct communicator, strong in slides and analytics — preferably an MBB / top-tier strategy consulting background.

  • Strong operating discipline: you turn a regulatory requirement into a data pipeline, a deadline, and a clean disclosure.

 

Strong Candidates May Also

  • Have built and/or led a tech company's ESG strategy from scratch.

  • Bring experience in a regulated or enterprise-sales environment where ESG credentials affect deals.

 

What's In It For You

  • Global collaboration: partner with teams and customers across Europe, APAC, and North America.

  • Competitive package: comprehensive salary, equity, benefits, and the tools to do your best work.

  • Meaningful work: you are standing up the function that keeps a hyper-growth company credible and compliant.

  • In-person environment: a Stockholm office designed for ambitious builders.
