About Crosby
Crosby is built on a simple conviction: a great legal system is the watermark of a great society — and the best legal work comes from combining human expertise with the right technology, not replacing one with the other.
Crosby is the first AI-native law firm, helping ambitious companies like Cursor, Ramp, and Cognition sign commercial contracts faster.
Legal work is both art and science, and we're mapping the frontier between the two — codifying what can be systematized, amplifying human judgment where it matters most. That's why the right way to bring AI into law isn't to sell software and walk away. It's to own the outcome together: higher-quality work, delivered faster. We build proprietary tools and human-in-the-loop workflows that change what's possible for corporate legal teams.
Crosby was founded by Ryan (Stanford Law, Cooley, startup GC) and John (Penn, first 15 engineers at Ramp). We work together, in person, in New York City — because the best ideas still happen in the same room. Help us transform one of society's most important industries.
About the role
As Crosby’s first dedicated IT & Security Operations Lead, you’ll own the systems, processes, and day-to-day operations that keep our team productive, secure, and unblocked.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at a fast-growing Series B company. You’ll design and run Crosby’s IT function end-to-end — from onboarding new hires and managing hardware, to securing devices and identities, to building repeatable processes that scale with the company.
You’ll work closely with the founders, engineering, People Ops, and Finance to define how IT operates at Crosby. Your work will directly impact employee experience, security posture, and the company’s ability to scale efficiently.
What you’ll do
Own employee IT from end to end: onboarding, offboarding, access management, and day-to-day support.
Design and operate our endpoint management strategy (laptops, security baselines, patching, encryption).
Manage identity and access systems (SSO, MFA, role-based access, admin separation).
Build and run a lightweight helpdesk system with clear intake, prioritization, and SLAs.
Procure, deploy, and manage hardware inventory and lifecycle (ordering, spares, repairs, replacements).
Support in-person office IT needs (Wi-Fi, conference rooms, AV, printers as needed).
Handle security operations basics: phishing response, lost devices, access incidents, vendor security reviews.
Establish clear documentation, runbooks, and self-service resources to reduce ad-hoc requests.
Partner with People Ops and Finance on tooling, procurement, and compliance initiatives (e.g., SOC 2).
Evaluate and manage vendors, MSPs, and external tools as needed.
