• Managing regulatory engagement by handling inquiries, complaints, and investigations from EU and UK authorities, while ensuring credible, timely, and aligned responses

• Serving as the local legal authority on GDPR, UK GDPR, AI regulations, and evolving frameworks, reducing enforcement and reputational risk through expert guidance

• Counseling cross-functional teams on Privacy by Design, infrastructure transparency, data residency, and other core trust-building initiatives — including AI and generative technologies

• Overseeing key compliance programs and assessments, including DPIAs, LIAs, TIAs, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and contractual reviews, while supporting training, reseller programs, and global transparency initiatives

What we’re looking for

• Manage complex legal matters, including regulator engagement, escalated customer issues, and strategic product counseling

• Collaborate with engineering and product teams using strong technical fluency to align legal guidance with product development
