Senior Operations Manager - ESG & Sustainability
Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden On-site
Salary not listedJobFig found this opening at its original source and checks that it remains available.
About 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 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.
- 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.
- A great, direct communicator, strong in slides and analytics — preferably an MBB / top-tier strategy consulting background.
