Who are we?
UpGuard’s mission is to protect the world’s data. We obsessively seek out elegant, robust ways to enable our customers to find, acknowledge, and remediate cyber risk. With UpGuard, organizations leverage our security expertise and software to automate what was once laborious, spreadsheet-driven processes–whether it's monitoring the attack surface of hundreds of vendors or assessing the security of their own infrastructure. UpGuard is used by some of the world’s largest, fastest-growing, and most innovative companies.
Our Legal team’s mission is to preempt, identify, and resolve legal risks in a timely manner to accelerate business goals. Legal is responsible for keeping UpGuard's operations compliant with all current laws and regulations. The Legal team exists to ensure that accountable decisions are taken at the right level and function in the organization and that individuals making decisions are informed about the level of legal risk inherent in them. Our Legal team works closely across the entire organization in support of various legal matters, with a primary focus on supporting our global sales teams. We’re looking for individuals who desire exposure to a wide variety of issues and the opportunity to grow alongside a high-growth cybersecurity SaaS business.
Where does this role fit in?
We are looking for an experienced General Counsel (GC) to lead our in-house legal function to support our evolving needs as we scale our pre-IPO business.
