General Counsel

Who are we?

At UpGuard, we are replacing manual security bottlenecks with AI-driven precision. Fresh off a US$75M Series C, we are scaling our infrastructure to process 100 billion risk signals daily. This isn’t just growth; it’s a total reimagining of how the world manages cyber risk.

We build the Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform that security teams actually love. By integrating security ratings, threat intel, and agentic AI, we empower organisations to stay ahead of an ever evolving attack surface.

We aren’t just building another tool; we’re defining a category. We provide the autonomy to ship world-class technology and the resources to do it at a global scale.

Our Legal team’s mission is to preempt, identify, and resolve legal risks on time 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 organisation 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.

Why are we hiring this role?

We are looking for a hands-on General Counsel to lead our in-house legal function to support our evolving needs as we scale toward long-term operational maturity and category leadership. Reporting to the COO, the GC will serve as a strategic legal advisor to executive leadership while remaining deeply connected to the day-to-day work of the business. This role lives at the intersection of strategic counsel and hands-on execution. You’ll inherit a small, capable legal team already managing the day-to-day commercial legal operations and work beside them as a true player-coach. This is a perfect position for an ambitious lawyer who moves fluidly between board-level counsel and day-to-day operations, and wants to lead a function at a rapidly scaling company that’s defining how the world manages cyber risk.
