About the Role

Join our rapidly growing Legal team as a Senior Counsel, where you'll be a pivotal privacy co-pilot, transforming global privacy requirements into actionable strategies and ensuring our privacy program thrives without hindering business velocity. If you enjoy practical problem-solving with Sales, Security, Procurement, Product, HR, and Ops, you’ll feel right at home.

Responsibilities

• Own DPA and Security Addendum negotiations end-to-end, partnering with cross-functional teams to resolve complex privacy and tooling procurement challenges.
• Run core privacy program work: update and draft global privacy notices, handle Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), complete Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)/Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), manage cookie compliance, and maintain data maps/inventories.
• Track and implement evolving regulatory requirements (e.g., EU AI Act, NIS2, Cyber Resilience Act, DORA, U.S. state privacy/AI laws) and translate them into practical, business-ready guidance.
• Ensure global data processing complies with all applicable data protection laws, including CCPA and GDPR.
• Provide key privacy/AI insights to partner teams for vendor due diligence and third-party tooling security assessments.
• Partner cross-functionally to level up legal operations through templates, playbooks, regulatory gap assessments, and sales-enablement materials.
• Provide general legal support as needed.

Requirements

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school; active bar in at least one U.S. state (or eligible for in-house counsel registration).
• 6+ years of privacy and/or commercial privacy experience (global law firm + in-house mix ideal).
• In-depth privacy expertise interpreting local and international AI laws, regulations, and frameworks.
• Hands-on experience building out DSAR processes, conducting DPIAs/PIAs, drafting global privacy and employee notices, and overseeing cookie compliance.
• Familiarity with U.S. state privacy laws and comfort with EU frameworks.
• Working knowledge of, or keen interest in, open-source licensing in commercial settings.
• Clear, pragmatic communicator with excellent stakeholder management, thriving in fast-moving, multi-threaded environments.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in technology, cybersecurity, open source, or SaaS companies.
• Incident-response exposure.
• CIPP/US and/or CIPP/E certification preferred.

Role Impact

• High impact at high velocity: your work directly unblocks revenue, strengthens trust, and scales our privacy posture for the future.
• Builder’s mindset welcome: ship practical guidance, iterate on playbooks, and help us do more with less process.
• Cross-functional by default: collaborate daily with Sales, Security, HR, Procurement, Product, and Ops to keep momentum and manage risk smartly.
