- • The People Program Manager for Market Expansion will coordinate the People workstream across multiple market launches, connecting Legal, Business Operations, People Operations, People Tech and local external partners to ensure every dependency is understood, owned and delivered.
- • This role will turn ambiguity into an executable roadmap, anticipate risks before they become blockers and drive stakeholders towards decisions and outcomes.
- • The People Program Manager will help build a repeatable market-expansion model that allows Legora to enter new countries quickly without compromising employee experience, compliance or operational quality.
- • The role will own the People workstream for multiple market expansions, from initial scoping and planning through launch and operational handover.

- • The People Program Manager will establish governance and operating rhythms that create visibility, accelerate decisions and keep delivery on track.
- • The role will track progress, risks and interdependencies across markets, escalating blockers early and driving them to resolution.
- • The People Program Manager will define People-readiness criteria for each launch, covering areas such as employment setup, payroll, benefits, policies, systems, employee data, onboarding and internal communication.
- • The role will clarify ownership across central teams, local stakeholders and external providers so that nothing falls between functions.
- • The People Program Manager will build and continuously improve a scalable market-expansion playbook, including standard plans, checklists, templates, decision logs and handover requirements.
- • The role will ensure new processes are operationally viable, documented and handed over cleanly to the teams that will own them after launch.
- • The People Program Manager will prepare clear updates and decision material for senior stakeholders, making complex issues easy to understand and act on.
- • The role will use insights from each launch to simplify future expansions, reduce manual coordination and improve speed and quality.
🎯 Requirements

- • A strong track record of leading projects with multiple workstreams, stakeholders, dependencies and deadlines.
- • Exceptional ability to turn ambiguity into structured, executable plans.
- • Strong project-management discipline combined with the judgment to adapt when priorities or assumptions change.
- • Experience coordinating senior stakeholders and driving progress without relying on formal authority.
- • Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex topics into clear decisions, actions and narratives.
- • A proactive approach to identifying risks, resolving blockers and ensuring accountability.
- • Strong documentation skills and experience building practical playbooks, governance structures and repeatable ways of working.
- • Comfort operating at pace in an environment where several high-priority initiatives run simultaneously.
- • High ownership, sound judgment and an uncompromising attention to delivery quality.
- • Experience with international employment, entity setup, payroll implementation, global People Operations or market expansion is highly valuable.
- • Experience using AI tools or building agentic workflows to improve program delivery is a plus.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Opportunity to help build the operating infrastructure behind one of Europe’s fastest-scaling companies.
- • Chance to create a market-expansion model designed to scale far beyond the next launch.
