Chief Information Security Officer

Orlando, Florida, United States

At Morgan & Morgan, the work we do matters. For millions of Americans, we’re their last line of defense against insurance companies, large corporations or defective goods. From attorneys in all 50 states, to client support staff, creative marketing to operations teams, every member of our firm has a key role to play in the winning fight for consumer rights. Our over 6,000 employees are all united by one mission: For the People.

About the Role

Morgan & Morgan is the largest plainti/-side law firm in the United States, with 140+ offices nationwide, more than 1,000 lawyers, and over $30 billion recovered for clients. Our scale is matched by a strong culture of speed, innovation, and in-house technology development, where software, data, and AI-enabled platforms are core to how we serve clients and win cases. We operate in a high-stakes, litigation-driven environment where technology decisions directly affect outcomes, reputation, and client trust. As a result, cybersecurity is not a support function it is a core business capability.

We are seeking a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead a modern, business-aligned security program that protects highly sensitive data while enabling rapid software development, AI-driven workflows, and continuous innovation across legal-technology platforms.

This role is designed for a security executive who believes strong security should accelerate innovation, not constrain it. The CISO will partner deeply with engineering, product, legal, and operations leaders to embed security into fast-moving delivery cycles through pragmatic guardrails, clear risk ownership, and modern security architecture. Security at Morgan & Morgan plays a direct role in protecting the trust of the people we represent—ensuring our teams can fight for clients without distraction, delay, or doubt.

This is an on-site executive leadership role, requiring consistent presence in our Orlando headquarters and active engagement across firm offices. We believe strong security should enable innovation, not slow it down. Our approach is grounded in risk-informed decision-making, pragmatic controls, and shared ownership across technology and the business. We build security as scalable guardrails designed to support rapid software development, AI-driven workflows, and continuous improvement without sacrificing client trust.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
