In this role, you will be a key partner to our business and legal teams, focusing on vendor contract review and the governance of outbound data sharing with third parties.

We value partnership, teamwork, and creative thinking.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Reviewing and negotiating vendor contracts and data processing agreements (DPAs), with a focus on privacy, data use, and security provisions.
- Advising on outbound data sharing arrangements with third parties, including conducting data transfer risk assessments and ensuring appropriate contractual safeguards are in place.
- Supporting the build-out of scalable processes and playbooks for vendor privacy review and third-party data sharing.
- Consulting with business partners on privacy considerations arising from new products, partnerships, and data initiatives.
- Tracking legal developments in privacy law, including U.S. state privacy regulations and international frameworks such as GDPR, and advising on their practical implications.
- Partnering with members of the legal and privacy team on a range of data governance and privacy matters, including drafting guidelines and contributing to training materials.
- Growing into broader privacy and data governance responsibilities as the program evolves.
What We Need To See
- J.D. degree with a record of strong academic performance.
- 8+ years of privacy law experience, including hands-on work with vendor contracts, DPAs, and/or data sharing agreements, gained at a law firm, in-house, or both.
- Working knowledge of major privacy frameworks, including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
- A license to practice law in California required.
