AI Governance & Legal Counsel | Remote (UK)

AI Governance & Legal Counsel Spotted Zebra helps large enterprise customers adopt AI-enabled hiring in a way that is practical, responsible and defensible. As AI becomes more central to hiring, our customers need more than a great product. They need to understand how it works, how it is governed, how risk is managed, and how to secure internal approval to use the capabilities in our product from stakeholders across AI governance, legal, privacy, procurement, HR and the business. We are looking for an AI Governance & Legal Counsel to lead this work, reporting directly to our Co-founder & CCO. This is a blended, customer-facing role. Your predominant focus will be helping our enterprise customers navigate AI and data governance from pre-sales through implementation, with particular responsibility for helping them secure the internal approvals required to deploy Spotted Zebra successfully. Internally, you will help Spotted Zebra build and maintain the documentation, processes, regulatory understanding and product-governance requirements needed to support responsible enterprise AI adoption at scale. Alongside these core responsibilities, you will act as Spotted Zebra's primary in-house legal counsel. You will review, draft and advise on agreements with customers and suppliers, help the business take pragmatic and commercially sound positions on contractual risk, and support other general legal matters as they arise. This is not a traditional back-office legal role. You will sit within the implementation team, reporting to our Co-founder & CCO, and spend the substantial majority of your time ensuring that AI and data governance does not become a blocker to successful customer deployment. You will work closely with the Implementation Manager, Occupational Psychology Solutions Consultant and Integration Solutions Consultant, as well as our Commercial, Product and Engineering teams. Our ambition is to reduce AI-governance sign-off from the three to four months it can often take today to closer to one to two months. This role will be central to making that possible. For someone excited by the growth of AI governance, this role offers an exceptional development opportunity. You will work at the intersection of AI, regulation, product, occupational psychology and enterprise implementation in one of AI's most consequential and highly scrutinised applications: hiring and employment. Our ambition is to support you in becoming one of the world's leading practitioners in applying AI responsibly and practically within high-risk HR contexts. Spotted Zebra
