• Collaborate with Information Security on best practices for protecting confidential and personal information.
• Draft, review, and negotiate privacy-related agreements (vendor agreements, customer contracts, DPAs, BAAs).
• Continuously improve standard privacy agreements and scale legal operations and processes.
• Support the broader needs of a growing legal team and business.

• Experience counseling on product issues beyond just privacy and data protection.
• Experience with AI and other emerging technologies.
• A self-starter mindset with the ability to juggle multiple projects in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
