About the role

About The Role We're looking for an experienced and collaborative legal leader to join our growing TechReg Legal team. This is a unique opportunity to act as the lead legal partner for our marketing, messaging and personalization infrastructure. We are always evolving the way we serve our customers, and this role is at the forefront of that work. You'll partner closely with our Product, Engineering, and Design teams, providing clear, practical legal advice that helps us innovate while navigating a complex regulatory landscape. You'll work on everything from product counseling to managing privacy and ad tech issues.

What you'll do

Be a strategic thought partner and advisor: Provide proactive, business-minded legal advice to our senior product leaders on the evolution of our marketing platform, focusing on privacy-by-design principles. You’ll also be something of an investigator: you’ll work on projects that unite our many lines of business, so you’ll drill down into how we do what we do, and why we do what we do, so we can build a better way. You’ll understand the business’ objectives, understand the full landscape and context of the applicable law, and work through unchartered territory as you apply the law to business initiatives.
Navigate the ad tech ecosystem and its stakeholders: Act as the subject matter expert on a wide range of ad tech legal issues, including digital tracking technologies and data management. Advise on data privacy laws and regulations, including the GLBA, CCPA, and evolving state and international frameworks. You’ll need to understand the law and work with our regulatory subject matter experts on novel issues, understand the business (e.g., consumer credit, customer identity management, fraud prevention), understand the technology, and put them all together as a trusted business advisor. You’ll translate between business intent, regulatory requirements, legal guardrails, best practices, etc. You won’t need to know everything about everything, but you’ll need to know a little about a lot, and know how to communicate legal requirements to the business, and business requirements to legal subject matter experts.
Advise on vendor partnerships: Partner with our business team and supplier management team to negotiate complex commercial agreements with ad tech vendors, data providers, and marketing partners.
Build scalable solutions: Help build processes, playbooks, and training materials that enable our marketing and product teams to move quickly and confidently.

Some examples of tasks you would be responsible for:

Reviewing product feature changes for regulatory compliance issues by meeting with business partners to better under the feature, identifying legal obligations or risks, and providing recommendations to manage legal risk, e.g., revising user-facing content, drafting product terms and disclosures, and assisting with strategic partnership integrations,
Performing legal research on the application of existing and new laws to novel implementations of technology, developing legal theories when applying the law to complex use cases, and using your knowledge and expertise to influence business strategy and decisions

Who you are You are an intellectually curious, proactive, business-oriented legal professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You're comfortable being the go-to expert on complex legal topics and can break down intricate legal concepts into simple terms. You have a passion for technology, a desire to own your work, and a collaborative spirit. You are deeply familiar with the nuances of data privacy and the digital advertising ecosystem.
