The Bronx Defenders ( BxD ) is an innovative, progressive public defense office in the South Bronx. We are seeking a passionate technology professional with a commitment to public defense to join the Information Technology (IT) Team as an Information Governance & Security Manager. Founded in 1997, BxD is a public defender nonprofit that has developed a nationally recognized model of representation called holistic defense, which provides people with teams of lawyers, social workers, and advocates to defend them zealously in court and address the underlying drivers and enmeshed penalties of legal system involvement. Our office now has more than 400 staff members who defend nearly 20,000 New Yorkers facing incarceration, family separation, eviction, and deportation (among other devastating consequences) in criminal, family, civil, and immigration proceedings each year. We continue reimagining the role of public defense even further, using community organizing and engagement, legislative advocacy, and impact litigation to partner with the communities we represent to bring about long-lasting systemic change. We also share our model and lessons learned on how to move to a holistic model of representation with current and future public defenders throughout the country. Information Technology Our Information Technology (IT) department is our first line of support in assisting our dedicated staff of attorneys, advocates, social workers, and administrative professionals. Ultimately, the work of our department helps to advance the needs of our clients and facilitate the process by which their legal teams support and advocate for them to reach their goals. As the leading office in providing holistic representation, we stay abreast of innovative technological tools and resources that are used to support our staff and clients as they navigate the criminal, family, immigration, and civil court systems. From onboarding new employees to strengthening cybersecurity and modernizing our digital tools, the IT department is dedicated to creating an environment where technology empowers people, minimizes friction, and keeps our organization at the forefront of innovation in public defense. Responsibilities The Information Governance & Security Manager ensures that organizational information (case files, HR data, client records, financial systems) is managed securely, compliantly, and in alignment with regulatory requirements (CJIS, HIPAA, SHIELD). This role develops and enforces information governance policies, manages risk assessments and audits, and coordinates with the MSP and IT leadership to safeguard the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of organizational data.
