• Translate complex data, privacy, and security requirements into clear, actionable guidance for cross-functional partners, ensuring compliance with regulatory obligations.
• Comfort partnering with security and information-security teams on vendor risk assessments, data protection, and incident response

Requirements

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar
• Strong communicator who proactively updates stakeholders and builds relationships across teams, able to explain a legal risk to an engineer, a data question to an analyst, and a regulatory nuance to a business leader with equal clarity
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, own work end-to-end, manage competing priorities, and deliver clear legal guidance under tight timelines
• Experience advising on data-sharing arrangements, privacy notices and opt-outs, and data retention
• Experience working in a ticketing or project management system (e.g., Linear, Jira, Asana)
