Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience (law firm and/or in-house), ideally in B2B SaaS or cybersecurity
- Familiarity with legal and regulatory frameworks relevant to AI products and systems, as well as general privacy regulations in the SaaS space (e.g., GDPR, CPRA, EU AI Act, etc.)
- Experience in reviewing and implementing global privacy compliance programs
- CIPP/CIPM certification an advantage
- JD and active membership in at least one state bar
- Strong communication skills, business acumen, and a pragmatic mindset
- Ability to work under pressure and manage workloads to meet deadlines in a challenging and fast-paced environment
- Professional presence and the ability to engage with senior stakeholders, both internally and externally
- Interest in growing into a broader leadership role within a scaling legal function
What the job involves
- As we scale, we need legal leadership that can move with the business while protecting what matters most: our customers, our reputation, and our mission
- We’re looking for a Senior Counsel who can step into a strategic role and help us build for the future
- You’ll report to our General Counsel and work closely with our product, IT, security, procurement and sales teams
- This role isn’t just about privacy or AI - it’s about earning trust with some of the most security-conscious organizations in the world and helping us scale responsibly
- You'll work closely with our product, engineering and security teams to provide guidance on issues related to privacy, AI, intellectual property and open source in new and existing products throughout the entire product development lifecycle
- Work with stakeholders across the Company to assess privacy and AI risks and develop and implement related governance policies and best practices
- Draft and maintain user-facing legal documents, including Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, DPAs, etc
- Draft and negotiate commercial and intellectual property agreements affecting the company’s products and services
- Aid in our global compliance program and monitor emerging AI/privacy legislation (e.g., GDPR, CPRA, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF)
- Develop internal playbooks and training to raise awareness of privacy and AI considerations
Our take
Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated. For example, zero-day cyberattacks leverage vulnerabilities that are unknown even to the users and creators of a system. Tens of billions of dollars are being invested in protection, but OPSWAT delivers security solutions that nip the need for extra cyber defence in the bud.
The company's products focus on threat prevention, enacting a zero-trust mentality to ensure that technology systems are watertight from threats. For example, OPSWAT's MetaDefender platform incorporates advanced malware threat protection to detect vulnerable files and emails, as well as software, before it is even installed.
It’s this philosophy of “Trust No File, Trust No Device” that makes OPSWAT such a robust partner for the likes of AMEX and the United States Department of Justice. In addition to cyber protection products, the company also helps train future cyber defenders through its academy, which has trained 70,000 professionals so far.
