To carry this out, our team approaches problems systematically, creatively, deeply and broadly. Our team members must be curious, and unafraid of technical, organizational, and legal challenges.

• You don’t mind getting into the details (and hopefully enjoy) determining how data is a part of everything these days.
• You consider implementation as important as conception and measure your own success by how well your work product optimally mitigates risk, while minimizing negative impact to the user experience.

What we're looking for:

• At least 5 years of Privacy and Information Security law. (Records Retention, Data Deletion or Destruction, Wiretapping/Monitoring, or Data Transfer law would also be useful).

• Able to establish relationships and consensus among cross-functional and cross-level groups and bring initiatives to conclusion.
• Membership in a state bar required (California, preferred), and eligibility for and acceptance as California Registered In-House Counsel

What you'll be doing:

• Review business activities that collect, use, share, or dispose of data for compliance with law, policy, and best practices.
• Draft consumer notices, intra-company agreements and contract terms, and negotiate data-related contract provisions.
• Develop standardized policies, tools and processes, and implement them (in conjunction with InfoSec, Data Governance, etc.) into operations to mitigate data processing legal risks and reduce the volume of one-off reviews.
