  • Support the management of external disputes, claims and investigations
  • Contribute to strategic initiatives, including potential M&A activity and other high-impact projects

Requirements

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited US law school, preferably a T14 law school
  • Active membership in good standing with at least one US state bar (preference for California, Texas, New York or Florida)
  • 3–5 years’ experience as a practicing attorney, including time at a leading law firm in a technology, commercial or privacy-focused practice
  • Demonstrated experience advising on commercial technology transactions, including SaaS or cloud-based software
  • Strong working knowledge of US and international privacy laws, including CCPA/CPRA, GDPR and Québec privacy legislation, with the ability to give clear, actionable compliance advice

Nice to have

  • Exposure to information security frameworks (e.g. ISO, SOC 2, GDPR security certifications)
  • Fluency in another language, particularly French

What we offer

  • A genuinely commercial legal role with visibility across the business
  • High-growth SaaS environment with real momentum in North America
  • Ability to work remotely from anywhere in the US, with leadership based in Sydney, Australia
  • Opportunity to influence product, partnerships and go-to-market strategy early
