About Us

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. 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.

2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.

We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.

Joining Legora means three things.

We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.

If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will own Legora’s assurance program end to end: certifications, AI governance, and the risk decisions leadership acts on. It’s a senior IC seat in the Security organization. You make the judgment calls, and you’re the one in the room with auditors, regulators, and customer security teams. Your peer, the AI GRC Engineer, builds the platform underneath — the evidence pipelines and agents that carry the repetitive work.

Build controls that outlast any single framework. When a new obligation lands (an EU AI Act deadline, a state AI law, the next agent-assurance standard), it should map onto controls you already run and can evidence. Measure the program in loss-event terms, the same language our supply-chain-risk program uses, so leadership can weigh security against any other investment.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Certification & assurance portfolio

Own our SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO/IEC 42001 certifications: recertification cycles, auditor relationships, and remediation, run off continuously collected evidence — and expand the audit boundary as new products, entities, and acquisitions come into scope.
Own the AI-agent assurance roadmap: track the emerging agent-certification standards and get us certified for the agents we ship.
Design and maintain a unified controls library mapped across frameworks so one control satisfies many obligations.
Be the authoritative source behind the Customer Trust team: your certifications, control descriptions, and evidence feed the trust portal and response library they run.

AI governance & regulatory

Operate the AI governance program: the AI system and agent inventory, risk classification, and alignment to NIST AI RMF.
Track the AI regulatory landscape (EU AI Act provider and deployer obligations, US state AI laws, bar and professional-responsibility guidance for legal AI) and translate it into concrete controls with Legal.

Risk, policy & resilience

Own the enterprise risk register: risk assessments, treatment decisions with system owners, and risk reporting leadership actually uses.
Own the policy lifecycle, and turn written policies into enforced checks with the AI GRC Engineer wherever a rule can be automated.
Consume the supply-chain-risk program’s vendor assessments for compliance scope; vendor risk itself is owned by the Supply Chain Risk Lead.
Own the BCDR program: business impact analysis, recovery objectives with Engineering, and regular tabletop exercises and recovery tests.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

6+ years in GRC, security compliance, or IT audit, including at least one B2B SaaS environment where you owned SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 end to end.
Working knowledge of AI governance frameworks (ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF) and the EU AI Act, or a demonstrated ability to get deep in a new regulatory domain fast.
A continuous-assurance operating model: you have run (or built toward) monitored controls and pipeline-collected evidence, and treat compliance platforms as plumbing rather than the program.
Ability to read code and infrastructure-as-code well enough to verify a control yourself.
Experience running enterprise risk processes that leadership uses to make decisions.
Clear, precise writing — you will produce policies and risk narratives read by lawyers.
You use AI tools daily in your own work and have specific, grounded views on which GRC workflows AI can run today and which it cannot.

NICE TO HAVE

ISO 42001 Lead Auditor, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, CISA, or CISSP (or equivalent experience).
Experience selling trust to law firms, financial services, or other heavily regulated buyers.
Experience with GDPR/CCPA and cross-border data transfer requirements.
Exposure to AI-agent assurance or certification of AI products.
Exposure to public-sector assurance (e.g., FedRAMP, IRAP).

Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
