Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Director of Global Workplace Technology - New York - **Company:** Legora, Inc. - **Location:** New York, NY, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $223,000.0 - $263,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, JIRA, Cyber Security, Software Debugging, IT Management, Azure Active Directory, Okta, Information Technology, Casper Suite, Servicenow - **Published:** July 5, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=0eaf2ce3b8acdc5e ## About the Role * 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. 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. ## Description 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. The Director of Workplace Technology owns the on-site technology experience across every Legora office - the rooms that connect, the day-one onboarding that just works, the buildouts that come up clean - and leads the Workplace Technology Leads who own each major site (Stockholm, London, New York, Sydney, Denver). You set the standards the sites run on, own the function's budget and vendor framework, and are the technology counterpart to Workplace. This is a build-the-function role: the standards, the playbooks, and the team are yours to shape. What You'll Be Doing * 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. ## Related Videos - [Applying Agile Principles to Incident Management ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/101-applying-agile-principles-to-incident-management) - [Beyond the 9–5: Designing Work Around Humans](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1321-beyond-the-9-5-designing-work-around-humans) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [AI in Production: applied AI & enterprise use cases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100130-ai-in-production-applied-ai-enterprise-use-cases) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Best Companies to work for in London: Top 25 Companies in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/187-best-companies-to-work-for-in-london-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix)
