Legatics is one of the world’s leading LegalTech scale-ups. Our legal transaction management platform enables law firms and their clients to collaborate on and close deals in an interactive online environment, providing clarity, reducing risk and saving time.

Our customers include some of the world’s top law firms, such as Allen & Overy Shearman, Hogan Lovells, Herbert Smith Freehills, and King & Wood Mallesons. And we’ve been used on transactions in more than 60 countries  on transactions worth over $1 trillion. 

The role

We’re looking for a dynamic, hands-on Head of Business Development to lead our global new business efforts at Legatics. This is a true player-coach role: you’ll lead and develop our existing sales team across EMEA and North America, while also carrying a personal quota and closing deals with major law firms in EMEA and APAC.

You’ll be responsible for embedding high-performance habits, adding value to key deals, and maintaining a sales engine that delivers repeatable, scalable growth. You’ll work closely with the Chief Commercial Officer and collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Product and Customer teams to bring in new customers, drive expansion, and deliver commercial results.

We’re looking for someone who is both strategic and execution-minded—comfortable in the weeds of a deal one day and coaching the team or refining the go-to-market strategy the next.

What You’ll Be Doing

Sales Leadership & Coaching

• Lead and mentor a high-performing Business Development team across EMEA and North America.
• Run our existing sales management rhythm—1:1s, pipeline reviews, deal coaching—with consistency and rigour.
• Support reps to improve win rates, deal velocity and average deal size.
• Foster a culture of accountability, learning and high performance.

Sales Execution (Individual Contributor)

• Own and grow a personal pipeline, with a focus on top-tier law firms in EMEA and APAC.
• Build relationships with senior stakeholders to uncover needs, influence decision-making and close deals.
• Set the example for consultative selling, stakeholder engagement and value-based conversations.

Sales Strategy & Operations

• Refine and execute the new business strategy, aligning to company revenue goals.
• Use Salesforce and Outreach to drive operational excellence and visibility.
• Partner with the RevOps Manager to track performance, optimise processes and report results.
• Contribute to the annual design and refresh of commission plans and targets.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with Marketing to ensure alignment between campaign activity and pipeline goals.
• Collaborate with Product to feed in market insights and customer needs.
• Coordinate with Customer Success to ensure a seamless experience from sales to onboarding.

Market Development

• Represent Legatics at LegalTech events and industry forums.
• Stay ahead of legal industry trends and competitor activity to inform GTM plans.
