Job Overview

The Opportunity
This is a key opportunity for a proven, visionary, and hands-on CISO to shape the security foundation for a rapidly innovating Legal Technology industry. You’ll build and lead a world-class security organization that protects dozens of petabytes of the most sensitive legal and regulatory data on the planet.
As both a builder and an operator, you’ll design the blueprint for "built-in" security—deeply integrated into our architecture, culture, and processes. You will partner across engineering, product, corporate functions, and operations to accelerate our cloud transformation, ensure trust in our generative AI capabilities, and set the industry standard for what great security looks like.

Job Description and Requirements

Key Outcomes & Deliverables (Success Metrics)

This role will be evaluated on the following measurable business results:

• Security Strategy & Risk: Define and execute a global security roadmap aligned with growth, cloud transformation, and AI initiatives. Deliver risk dashboards and reporting for executives and boards, translating cyber risk into measurable business impact.
• Compliance & Trust: Ensure enterprise-wide compliance with SOC 2, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, GDPR, and emerging global regulations. Maintain transparency and exceed customer/regulator expectations for data protection and privacy.
• Security by Design: Embed secure architecture and controls into the SDLC and platform layers—making security intrinsic, not additive.
• Operational Excellence: Oversee threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management with measurable SLAs (Service Level Agreements). Deliver tested incident response playbooks and business continuity plans.
• Organizational Maturity: Build a scalable security organization with clear KPIs for resilience and maturity. Deliver integrated security frameworks for cloud-native and AI-driven environments.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Vision: Own and evolve the global security strategy, aligning it to our growth trajectory, cloud transformation, and AI-driven roadmap.
• Build the Team: Build and lead a high-performance security organization, balancing governance, innovation, and enablement.
• Drive Integration: Embed “security by design” principles into every layer of our platform and SDLC—ensuring security is built-in, not bolted-on (a core focus on DevSecOps).
• Lead Enterprise Risk: Lead enterprise risk management, including cyber risk, regulatory compliance, and data protection for a global business.
• Enable Velocity: Collaborate with product and engineering leaders to drive secure architecture decisions and scalable controls that accelerate, not impede, our technical stack evolution.
• Champion Culture: Drive a security-first culture across the organization—educating, inspiring, and enabling teams to move fast without compromise.
• External Leadership: Represent the company externally as a thought leader in data security, privacy, and AI governance within the legal tech space, our customer base, and the broader SaaS community.

What You Bring Core Experience

• Deep experience leading information security for cloud-first or hybrid SaaS companies at scale.
• Proven success building and transforming security programs—especially in high-growth, complex environments.
• Expertise across application security, cloud (Azure), DevSecOps, and AI model governance.

Required Expertise

• Deep knowledge of global compliance frameworks: SOC 2, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, and global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA).
• A builder’s mindset: Comfortable rolling up your sleeves, diving into architecture, and establishing foundational controls while strategically scaling a world-class function.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM are strongly preferred.

Leadership & Influence

• Exceptional communication and leadership skills with a proven track record influencing engineers, executives, and customers alike.
• Ability to influence at all levels—from engineers to boards—with clarity and authority.
• Passion for innovation, collaboration, and excellence in a mission-critical environment.
