Director of Information Technology

About the role

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.

This is a build-the-function role: the standards, the playbooks, and the team are yours to shape.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

• 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.
• Credible hands-on and with the business — you can debug a meeting room and hold a budget conversation with Finance in the same day.
• A strong cross-functional partner across Workplace, Security, IT, People, and Finance — you land shared outcomes without turf wars.
• 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.

Qualifications

• Nice To Have: Global or multi-site workplace technology / corporate IT leadership.
• AV and conferencing, office network (Meraki), and physical-security platforms (e.g. Verkada) at scale.
• 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.
