This position offers the opportunity to shape a growing legal function while directly enabling business growth in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
Accountabilities:
  • Partner with Product and Engineering teams to provide proactive legal advice on new products, features, and AI-driven initiatives, addressing privacy, PII handling, transparency, bias mitigation, and equal opportunity considerations.
  • Own privacy compliance, including global DPA playbooks, privacy policy updates, and streamlining data subject access request (DSAR) processes.
  • Respond to customer security and compliance questionnaires, creating scalable processes for high-volume responses.
  • Develop customer-facing compliance documentation, FAQs, and go-to-market materials in collaboration with internal teams.
  • Collaborate with Security and Customer Success teams on security incidents, drafting communications and ensuring regulatory alignment.
  • Stay up to date on relevant privacy and AI regulations, including GDPR, the EU AI Act, and US federal/state AI/privacy laws, and provide actionable guidance.
  • Advise on data practices, cross-border transfers, retention policies, and vendor compliance.
  • Contribute to broader legal matters such as IP, employment, global expansion, fundraising, and shaping the operations of the legal function.
Requirements:
  • JD from an accredited law school and active license to practice law in the US (or equivalent qualification in a relevant jurisdiction).
  • 68 years of legal experience, with strong focus on product counseling, privacy, and data protection.
  • In-house experience at a fast-growing technology or SaaS company, working closely with Product, Engineering, and Security teams.
  • Technical curiosity and ability to understand product architecture, SaaS platforms, and data flows to provide practical guidance.
  • Commercial mindset, enabling product velocity while managing legal risk.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex regulations into clear, actionable guidance.
  • Proven experience in privacy compliance, including DSARs, policy drafting, and regulatory monitoring.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and ability to build effective relationships across teams.
  • Bonus: Privacy certifications (CIPP, CIPM, CIPT), experience scaling a privacy or product legal function, or familiarity with legislative tracking platforms.
Benefits:
  • Competitive salary and equity with a 10-year stock option exercise window.
  • Unlimited PTO, with recommended vacation guidelines to ensure work-life balance.
  • Paid family leave (12 weeks in the US, expanding globally).
  • Comprehensive health insurance for employees and dependents in the US, with all premiums covered.
  • Generous equipment, software, and office setup budget.
