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. ## The Role As Legora's Senior Manager, Physical Security and Safety, you'll help protect our people, workplaces, executives, and operations across a fast-growing global footprint. This role exists to build right-sized security programs that scale with Legora, strengthening office security, travel risk, executive protection, and incident readiness without losing the welcoming, open culture we want employees and guests to feel. You'll work across Workplace, People, IT, Security, Legal, Compliance, Comms, business leaders, vendors, and building partners, balancing hands-on operations with repeatable program design. Travel to Legora offices, events, and other locations is expected up to 30% based on operational needs. ## What You'll Do Corporate Security, Executive Protection & Event Security - Own security operations across Legora's offices, including access control, visitor management, badging, surveillance, guard services, emergency procedures, and facility protection, with baseline standards adapted to each site's local context and risk. - Build and run risk-based executive protection for the CEO and other senior leaders, including protective intelligence, travel risk, ground transportation, advance planning, residential considerations when appropriate, and protection scaled to actual threat and exposure. - Partner with Legal and Compliance to align security and safety programs with applicable requirements and company policies, involving them in relevant decisions, risks and incidents. - Manage security vendors and integrators, including contracts, pricing reviews, staffing models, service quality, and performance, as well as CCTV and alarm maintenance and infrastructure projects. - Own the security budget and forecast, including OPEX and CAPEX, aligning spend to Legora's risk and business priorities.

Threat Monitoring, Intelligence & Emergency Communications - Set up right-sized monitoring of global events, including geopolitical developments, civil unrest, crime, severe weather, and other emerging issues that could affect Legora employees, travelers, offices, or events. - Define clear protocols for incident intake, triage, verification, escalation, and executive briefing, using vendors and tools where they make more sense than building in-house. - Own Legora's emergency communications approach, including mass notification tools, escalation criteria, message approval, and regular testing, so we can reach employees and leaders quickly during critical events. - Turn threat information and incident trends into short, clear updates that give leaders the risk, the recommended action, and the decision needed. Incident Response, Crisis Management & Business Continuity - Lead first response to physical security and safety incidents, document findings clearly, and escalate to the right partners. - Build and maintain relationships with local law enforcement, emergency services, and building security in every city where we operate. - Build practical crisis, emergency, and business continuity plans, then test them through tabletop exercises and track gaps to closure. - Track a small set of meaningful metrics and report risks, incidents, and program progress to leadership. ## What You Bring - 7+ years of experience in corporate security, physical security, executive protection, or a related field, ideally at a fast-growing tech company - Experience owning security programs across multiple sites or regions - Hands-on knowledge of access control, video surveillance, and visitor management systems - Experience building travel risk or duty of care programs - Background in executive protection, either delivering protection directly or managing protection providers - Sound judgment under pressure and the discretion to handle sensitive matters - Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to scale programs to fit the moment - Clear writing and the ability to influence leaders, vendors, and cross-functional partners - Willingness to travel and to respond to incidents outside business hours when needed ## Nice to Have - Experience building a security function from scratch at a startup or scale-up - Experience supporting both US and European operations - Familiarity with protective intelligence or online threat monitoring tools - Certifications such as CPP or PSP - Experience using AI tools to cut down on busywork and sharpen communications What’s In It For You - Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestic and internationally. - Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success. - Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily. - In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders. - Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision - Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente - HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection) - Dental plans via MetLife - Vision plans via Vision Care Family Support - Generous parental leave - Free access to Maven Clinic - Dependent Care FSA - Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents Additional Perks - Pre-tax commuter benefits - Life Insurance + STD/LTD - 401(K) with generous company match - Unlimited PTO - Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience.
