Role
Law firms and legal teams trust Lexroom with sensitive work, and AI has changed the pace of security: vulnerabilities now surface in hours, not months.

You’ll report to our engineering leadership and work closely with our IT and Infrastructure teams.

- Customer Security Requirements: Support our teams in meeting the security and compliance requirements of our customers.
- Building the Function: Set the foundations of security at Lexroom and spread security habits across engineering.
What we’re looking for
- Experience: 5+ years in in security compliance or information security, ideally in a tech company of 200-500 people, or in fintech, payments, or banking.
- ISO 27001 & Compliance: Hands-on experience leading ISO 27001 certifications or audits, with solid knowledge of GDPR.
- Vulnerability Management: A track record of designing or running vulnerability management and patching processes.
- Risk Assessment: Comfort making pragmatic risk trade-offs and explaining them clearly to engineering and leadership.
- Process & Ownership: You build processes that last, and you bring your own view on how security should work in a product company.
- Language: Fluent in English; Italian is a plus.
Rewarding your contribution
- Compensation: €70,000–100,000
- Equity: meaningful equity on top, in line with the seniority of the role
Benefits That Matter
- Hybrid Work: Hybrid with office presence in our Milan hub.
