About the role

Role Overview

Some of the world's largest companies and their law firms use Harvey's AI capabilities to deliver world-class client services at unprecedented scale and efficiency. Harvey allows high-performing professionals to gain deep domain knowledge faster, understand the big picture, and tackle more complex challenges in less time.

Our customers depend on us to deliver a secure, trustworthy, and compliant platform. Earning the trust of our customers is a business enabler and we value it more than anything else.

In this role, you'll report to the Head of Trust and own Harvey's end-to-end compliance programs. You will be accountable for establishing and scaling certifications and compliance programs critical to Harvey's expansion into regulated markets. You will work cross-functionally with Engineering, Product Security, Legal, Sales, and external assessors, advisors, and government partners to build a best-in-class compliance practice, and will recruit and lead a small, high-impact team to operate it at scale.

What You'll Do

  • Build the business case and strategic roadmap for compliance investments, articulating ROI, certification sequencing, and market opportunity to leadership
  • Lead gap assessments and compliance readiness evaluations across applicable frameworks, producing maturity baselines and prioritized remediation roadmaps
  • Select, onboard, and manage third-party assessors and compliance advisors; hold partners accountable to timelines and escalate risks early
  • Drive audit readiness — coordinating evidence collection, continuous monitoring, and audit documentation management with Engineering and Security
  • Support customer security reviews, RFP responses, and due diligence conversations as the authoritative internal voice on Harvey's compliance posture
  • Build and lead a small team: hire, set direction, develop members, and scale program operations as Harvey's footprint grows

What You Have

  • 10+ years in information security or compliance, with 5+ years leading compliance programs for commercial SaaS or PaaS
  • Deep command of the compliance lifecycle -- scoping, gap analysis, control documentation, assessment coordination, and continuous monitoring
  • Proven cross-functional influence at the senior level; able to drive compliance outcomes across Engineering, Product, Legal, and Sales without slowing the business
  • Track record selecting and managing third-party assessors and compliance advisory firms
  • Experience building and leading small teams in fast-paced environments, with a bias for hiring exceptional people and creating clarity from ambiguity
  • 1–2+ years using AI tools to improve program efficiency (evidence automation, gap analysis, continuous monitoring)
