Director of People Operations

This role owns how it works to be an employee at Legora on the backend. You will operationalise every stage of the employee journey, making sure every moment is supported by clean systems, accurate data, and processes that scale. If an employee interacts with a Legora program or system, from their first day in the HRIS to a salary change three years in, your team is accountable for making it accurate, timely, and smooth.

You will lead a distributed People Operations team across Stockholm and New York, reporting to the VP, People Operations. As we enter new markets, you will also build and manage local specialisms to handle day-to-day employee and manager questions and run structured, lower-complexity casework, with a clean handoff to Employee Relations for anything that becomes formal, contested, or carries legal weight.

What you'll own

• The full employee lifecycle, operationally. Every touchpoint from offer to exit, mapped, documented, and supported end to end.
• HRIS and data integrity. Onboarding new hires into the HRIS, data entry, and data QA. You keep employee data accurate, complete, and audit-ready as the single source of truth.
• Contracts and changes. Addendums, employee transfers, salary and reporting-line changes, and the workflows and documentation behind each one, working in close partnership with Payroll so every change flows through accurately and on time.
