- Drive our corporate governance and compliance initiatives, ensuring we're operating effectively while adhering to applicable laws and regulations
- Develop and implement scalable legal processes, templates, and policies that improve efficiency while maintaining appropriate risk management
- Help identify and proactively address legal risks across the business as we scale internationally and expand our data partnerships

- J.D. from an accredited law school and active license to practice law in the U.S.
- 8+ years of legal experience, with a minimum of 4 years in-house experience (at a high-growth B2B SaaS or AI company preferred)
- Strong track record drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, particularly in the technology sector
- Demonstrated ability to handle diverse legal matters independently while maintaining excellent judgment
- Clear communication style with a business-minded, pragmatic approach to problem-solving
