Cyber Risk & Compliance Legal Associate

Galactic Advisors
Nashville, TN Full Time
POSTED ON 3/3/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/2/2025

At Galactic Advisors, we help MSPs navigate cyber liability, compliance frameworks, and risk documentation to protect themselves and their clients from legal exposure. As cyber threats evolve, MSPs must have a structured compliance approach that aligns with legal and regulatory requirements.

We are seeking a Cyber Risk & Compliance Legal Associate to support our partners in understanding cyber liability, risk documentation, and compliance frameworks. This role will focus on educating MSPs on cyber risk—helping them navigate cybersecurity-related contracts, regulatory frameworks, and liability protections—without providing direct legal representation.

About the Role

In this role, you will help our MSP partners reduce their legal exposure by structuring compliance and security documentation best practices. You’ll work closely with MSPs, security professionals, and compliance teams to ensure that cyber risk is properly documented and managed.

What You’ll Do

  • Support MSPs in structuring cyber liability and risk documentation.
  • Educate partners on cybersecurity best practices, compliance frameworks (NIST, CIS, SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC), and legal risk mitigation.
  • Develop playbooks, training, and resources to help MSPs align their security programs with regulatory expectations.
  • Analyze cyber insurance requirements and guide partners on how to document security measures for policy compliance.
  • Work with internal teams to refine compliance offerings and help MSPs implement structured security validation.
  • Monitor cybersecurity regulations and legal trends that impact MSPs and their clients.

What We’re Looking For

  • JD from an accredited law school (bar admission not required, but a plus).
  • LL.M. in Cybersecurity or Privacy Law preferred, but JD candidates with cybersecurity experience will be considered.
  • 1-3 years of experience in cybersecurity law, compliance, or risk management (law firm, in-house, or regulatory background).
  • Strong understanding of cyber liability, risk documentation, contracts, and compliance frameworks.
  • Ability to explain complex legal and compliance concepts in a clear, actionable way to non-lawyers.
  • Experience developing risk frameworks, policies, or compliance training is a plus.
  • Compensation :

    90,000- $120,000, based on experience.

    Benefits :

  • Healthcare : Health, Dental, and Vision (Galactic covers all premiums)
  • 401K (with 3% employer match)
  • Flexible schedule and paid time off
  • Permanent, remote-only position (we reconnect in person quarterly for a strategic offsite team-building meeting, which always includes some crazy adventure!)
  • About Galactic :

    Galactic Advisors is here to assist, advise and educate Managed Service Providers (MSPs) on how to best protect their clients from cyberattacks. We provide tools and assessments to help MSPs determine just how vulnerable they and their clients are to attack, and strategies to improve and build out their cyber stacks.

    We’re an agile, fully-remote company, and we’re growing fast. We all want to make a difference in our company's mission to help protect a Million people.

    We’re looking for people who :

    Take Extreme Ownership : Our team owns their issues, successes, and challenges. We have grit and step up to the plate. We look for ways to say, yes – we can do that.

    Do It Better : We constantly look for ways to make life easier (and fun), often through process improvement, and automation.

    Make It Fun : If it isn’t fun, it isn’t worth doing. Even the hard stuff is fun to do if you have the right mindset and the right people around you. Doing it better and making it fun go hand in hand.

    Do The Right Thing : It’s much harder than sitting back or cutting corners—that is why it’s called the right thing, rather than the easy thing.

    Why Join Us?

  • Work at the intersection of cybersecurity, compliance, and risk management in a rapidly growing industry.
  • Remote, flexible work environment with a team of security and compliance professionals.
  • Opportunities for growth into strategic compliance leadership roles.
  • Salary : $90,000 - $120,000
