What the job involves
- This role, reporting into our Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, will be responsible for all of our privacy and product counseling legal work for Glean’s growing business
- You will be a pivotal player in our company's growth, responsible for identifying, analyzing and mitigating risk and enabling the success of our product and our customers
- You will collaborate closely with our leadership to deeply understand our overarching business objectives and provide top notch legal advice
- This role is an Individual Contributor role at this time, with the potential for building out a team as Glean scales
- Counseling and Advising: Serve as the company’s go-to expert and resource on privacy and product counseling. Advise product, engineering, operations, and marketing teams on meeting strategic objectives while complying with laws, regulations, best practices, and customer requirements. Work closely with product leadership and product pods in developing best-in-class methods for legal and privacy review of our product development process
- Privacy Compliance: Lead Glean’s privacy compliance program, including data-mapping, risk registers, and documentation of the company’s current processes and areas of focus

Design, implement, and iterate on policies, processes, and procedures to improve the legal team’s engagement model with the product and engineering organizations

Advise on frontier technologies relative to our product plans, including but not limited to AI, large language model usage, and other integration of third party products into our product offerings
Our take
Glean is an intuitive digital assistant which allows employees to search across all their apps and find the information and tools that they need more quickly.
With so many SaaS apps being used by modern day companies, overwhelm and inefficiency inevitably enter the equation. Glean’s search engine is proving popular for how it unifies and centralizes all these distributed tools and data.
It’s been quite a start to life at Glean, having only emerged from stealth in 2021, it received a $1 Billion valuation in early 2022, thus achieving unicorn status, and has received nearly $400 million in funding so far. The SaaS platform is already used by some major companies including Grammarly, databricks, and Rubrik.
That Glean was co-founded by a quartet with senior experience at Google, Microsoft, Uber, and Facebook stands the company in good stead. However, it’s the fact that its search engine is solving a new, but very real problem in the workplace that’s seen its popularity surge so quickly, which it’s likely to continue to do in the future. Its adaptability to include new AI capabilities to its platform, such as generative AI, has Glean well set to see further growth.
