Chief Risk Officer

About ATI Global

ATI Global is a world-leading LegalTech organisation dedicated to empowering lawyers and their teams. For more than 30 years, we’ve developed integrated software and information-services solutions that streamline legal workflows and enhance productivity and profitability. Our portfolio includes market-leading brands such as LEAP Legal Software, which delivers a comprehensive cloud-based practice management, document automation and accounting platform for law firms, and InfoTrack, a SaaS innovator providing end-to-end searching, e-filing and litigation workflow services. Together, these solutions give us a unique, end-to-end offering - from law-firm productivity tools through to litigation and conveyancing workflow infrastructure. 

Working alongside our global team of passionate high achievers, you’ll join a fast-growing technology business where things seldom stay the same for long. With a group of smart, caring and ambitious professionals across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, Canada and the USA, you’ll be in good company - and well-placed to make a real impact. 

What you'll do

As our new Chief Risk Officer, you’ll lead and elevate the risk and compliance function across our major brands, including LEAP Legal Software and InfoTrack. You’ll refine and mature our enterprise risk framework, uplift controls and reporting, modernise systems, and build a scalable, high-performing capability for a global SaaS group. 

Reporting to the Group CFO, you’ll play a pivotal role in preparing ATI for an ASX listing within the next 18–24 months. This is a hands-on leadership role covering all major tech risk categories where you’ll influence globally, partner with executives across regions, and help shape the governance foundations of one of Australia’s next major listed tech companies. 

To make this happen, you will:

• Lead the enterprise risk strategy and embed a strong risk culture across a fast-moving SaaS and legaltech environment. 

• Define and manage the company’s risk appetite, ensuring alignment with regulatory, data privacy, and client-driven requirements. 

• Own risk identification and assessment, including cybersecurity, data protection, AI/ML risks, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance. 

• Build and maintain the risk framework, including risk registers, dashboards, controls, and incident response processes. 

• Partner with product, engineering, security, and legal to manage risks across product development, integrations, and customer deployments. 

• Strengthen internal controls and oversee business continuity, disaster recovery, and vendor risk management. 

• Ensure compliance across jurisdictions, particularly relating to data privacy, legal practice management, and cloud security standards. 

• Provide clear, actionable risk reporting to the CFO and executive team. 

• Lead and mentor the risk and compliance team, shaping capabilities that support rapid scale and evolving client expectations. 

What you'll bring

• Senior experience in governance, risk and compliance within a complex, multi-entity organisation - ideally as a 2IC ready to step up into your first CRO-level role. 

• Background in a listed company or highly regulated environment, with a strong understanding of ASX-level expectations, reporting standards and risk protocols. 

• Experience in a services or technology-led business (e.g., SaaS, fintech, banking, finance, information services) with solid exposure to cybersecurity and technology risk. 

• Proven ability to uplift and mature an enterprise risk framework - refining processes, improving controls, modernising systems and introducing automation or new platforms. 

• Experience working in a multinational organisation (ANZ, UK, North America) and navigating varied regulatory, operational and business environments. 

You are the type of person who

• Is strong in stakeholder engagement, with the credibility and communication skills to influence senior leaders across multiple regions and diverse personalities. 

• Has a hands-on, pragmatic approach - comfortable being the “doer” while also building out a small team as the function scales. 

• The drive to shape and build something significant - taking a growing tech group through IPO readiness and into life as a listed entity. 

LEAP is an inclusive, people-first company committed to breaking down institutional barriers that keep people from reaching their potential. If you meet some, but not all the requirements above, we encourage you to still submit your application.
