People Partner

About This Role

Partnering with leaders and managers in the Customer Engagement, Global Services, and Legal Engineering teams across EMEA, the People Partner ensures that Legora's rapid growth is supported by strong people practices. This role is for an experienced HR professional who can anticipate team needs, act proactively, and make commercially grounded people decisions in a hyper-growth environment.

Responsibilities

• Turn business priorities into a forward-looking people agenda for your client group, and keep a clear read on its health, capability and culture
• Advise on team structure, role design and scaling, working closely with Talent Acquisition on hiring needs
• Make sure new hires land with clarity, clear expectations and a fast path to contribution
• Coach managers on setting expectations, giving feedback and leading through change, and spot capability gaps early
• Apply our performance framework consistently, drive calibration, address underperformance early and lead formal processes where needed
• Apply compensation and levelling frameworks fairly and consistently, and flag anomalies as we enter new markets
• Notice when culture shifts and act before small issues become systemic ones
• Manage ER matters, including investigations and organisational changes, and advise on employment law across EMEA
• Translate business needs into clear input for our global People team, and make sure what gets built creates impact rather than process for its own sake

Requirements

• Several years as an HR Business Partner, ideally in a fast-growing or international environment, supporting leaders and managers across the full employee lifecycle
• Experience supporting teams across several European countries, with a good sense of when to apply a standard approach and when to adapt locally
• Ability to build credibility quickly and challenge constructively when it matters
• Enjoy helping managers set expectations, give feedback and lead through change
• Ability to move quickly while keeping documentation and process standards high
• Make people decisions that serve the business and care about outcomes, not just activity
• Collaborate across the People function, escalate complex cases when needed and share the patterns you see
