Head of Information Technology & Security

Please note: this is a 5-days-a-week, on-site role based in our Manhattan (Union Square), NYC office.*

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.

Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.

1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR , with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.

We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

The IT and AI Enablement function exists to make Legora itself run as well as the product we sell: secure, automated, and compounding over time.

The Director of Workplace Technology owns the on-site technology experience across every Legora office — the rooms that connect, the day-one onboarding that just works, the buildouts that come up clean — and leads the Workplace Technology Leads who own each major site (Stockholm, London, New York, Sydney, Denver). You set the standards the sites run on, own the function's budget and vendor framework, and are the technology counterpart to Workplace. Lead and grow the five Workplace Technology Leads — one per major site (Stockholm, London, New York, Sydney, Denver) — hiring, developing, and holding a consistent bar across all of them.

Set and own the global standards every site runs on — hardware, AV and conferencing, network, physical-security infrastructure, and the day-one onboarding bar — so a Legora office feels the same wherever it is.

Own the Workplace Technology budget and vendor framework globally: forecast with Finance, standardize vendors and contracts, and feed the site budgets that Workplace owns.

Partner with Workplace on every buildout and expansion — owning the technology scope (AV, network, and badge / camera / cabling commissioning) within their fit-outs, from requirements at kickoff to a clean first day of business.

Work with Information Security on access, network, and device controls, with IT Systems on the network spine and endpoint estate, and with People on onboarding.

Run the function on Legora's shared service desk and AI-native ITSM (Serval) — common SLAs, automated routing, and the agentic automation that lets small on-site teams punch above their weight — and decide when each site needs its own Lead, and when Leads need staff.

10+ years in IT / workplace technology, AV, or facilities-adjacent technical operations, including multi‑site or global responsibility and managing managers or senior ICs.

A builder of functions — you've set standards, hired teams, and made distributed sites feel like one company.

Comfortable across time zones — you keep five sites from Sydney to Denver aligned, and build the async habits that make that work.

Standards‑minded and pragmatic — you know when to enforce one global way and when to let a site adapt.

Global or multi-site workplace technology / corporate IT leadership.

AV and conferencing, office network (Meraki), and physical-security platforms (e.g. Office buildouts and fit-outs end to end, partnering with Real Estate / Workplace and Security.

ITSM and AI-assisted, agentic service operations — we run an AI-native ITSM (Serval); ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, or Freshservice transfers well.

Budget ownership and vendor / contract management across regions.

Experience with Neat, Zoom, Meraki, Verkada, Jamf, Apple Business Manager, Okta / Microsoft Entra ID, and 1Password.

Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.

Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.

Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente

HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)

Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents

Life Insurance + STD/LTD

Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more
