  • Establish governance standards aligned with regulatory, security, and business requirements

Risk Compliance Management

  • Identify and assess data-related risks across cloud platforms and enterprise solutions
  • Review and strengthen security and privacy controls to safeguard firm data against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure
  • Collaborate with Information Governance, Office of General Counsel, Security Architecture, and GRC teams to align directives, track risks, and support compliance initiatives
  • Stakeholder Leadership Translation

  • Serve as a critical liaison between Information Security, IT, and legal stakeholders, translating technical security concepts into business-friendly guidance
  • Partner with attorneys and business teams to design secure, compliant data access and sharing solutions
  • Deliver training and enablement on data governance best practices to employees across the firm
  • Cloud Platform Expertise

  • Provide thought leadership on data governance across Office 365 and other cloud platforms
  • Design secure patterns, manage reporting and alerting, and guide the firm's cloud data strategy
  • Stay current with evolving cloud architectures, security technologies, and threat landscapes
  • What We're Looking For

    Experience Background

  • 7+ years of combined experience in IT, information security, risk management, or data governance
  • Demonstrated expertise in cloud architecture, security, and data protection in cloud environments
  • Law firm operations experience highly preferred; candidates from other highly regulated industries (healthcare, finance, insurance) considered
  • Strong understanding of risk management frameworks and security technologies
  • Technical Analytical Skills

  • High-level technical understanding of security applications, cloud platforms, and data governance architectures
  • Proficiency in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) practices with strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Purview and other governance and data loss prevention tools
  • Knowledge of information security standards and frameworks (CSF, NIST, ISO 27001) and awareness of the evolving cyber threat landscape
  • Core Competencies

  • Exceptional collaboration, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences and business-focused guidance for technical teams
  • Strong project management capabilities with experience managing risks associated with technology solutions
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to balance security, compliance, and business enablement
  • Education Certifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Information Assurance, Computer Science, or Information Systems preferred
  • Professional certifications such as CISA, CISM, GSEC, CISSP, or CRISC preferred
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, Visio, and PowerPoint
  • Work Environment

  • Remote position with flexibility (subject to change)
