  • Collaborate with front‑end counsel and product counsel to integrate privacy considerations into model development and product planning.
  • Maintain relationships with key regulators and stay abreast of emerging legal and regulatory developments in the global privacy landscape.
  • Collaborate closely with our privacy program team on the maintenance and maturation of our global privacy compliance program, governance framework, accountability documentation, internal and external policies and related training.

Qualifications

  • A JD and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar (California preferred).
  • At least 8 years of global privacy and data protection legal experience, preferably in hyper‑growth global technology environments.
  • Deep subject matter expertise in privacy and data protection law and its practical application in a global context.
  • Extensive experience advising on privacy, data protection, and direct marketing laws, regulations, and guidance.
  • Strong understanding of the interplay between privacy, security, and AI, and the ability to provide strategic guidance in these areas.
  • Excellent leadership skills and the ability to drive projects forward in a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment.
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with regulators, internal teams, and external partners.
  • A proven ability to think strategically and translate complex legal concepts into practical business solutions.

Strong candidates may also have

  • Experience with privacy regulations in other international jurisdictions, enabling them to support the organization’s global data protection compliance efforts.
  • Experience with privacy‑enhancing technologies and their implementation in a business setting.
  • Knowledge and experience with AI‑specific regulations and their interplay with privacy frameworks.
  • A network of contacts within the data protection community, allowing them to stay informed about best practices and share knowledge with peers.
