• Help educate and train internal business partners on legal and regulatory requirements and best practices.

• Other duties and assignments to support internal stakeholders and enhance and improve processes for execution of the company's strategies.

• Expertise in data privacy and protection laws, including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, export control regulations, and other global frameworks. Familiarity with intellectual property law, open-source software licensing, and AI related regulations.

• Demonstrated experience in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex commercial and technology agreements.

• Exceptional interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work in a cross-functional and geographically dispersed environment with multiple stakeholders and teams.

• Strong business judgment and the ability to provide pragmatic, business focused legal advice to both legal and non-legal audiences. Strategic thinker with ability to work independently through issues, evaluate risks and choices and make sound judgments even in face of uncertainty.

• Proven ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic, and rapidly scaling global environment. Highly organized, great attention to detail, ability to work independently and adept at managing and completing several simultaneous projects in a team-oriented environment.
