protege - Sr. Counsel, Commercial and Data

• We care about what you've accomplished, not how many years you spent in a particular seat: • You've negotiated and closed complex technology or data transactions end-to-end — ideally including data licensing, and ideally opposite technical counterparties. • You've owned real pieces of a privacy program but see the whole picture and how it all hangs together: HIPAA and de-identification decisions, GDPR/CCPA compliance, DPAs and BAAs — not just reviewed someone else's work. And you keep up to date on emerging regulations and have a sense of not only where the puck is but where it’s going. Plus, you understand not just the what but the why behind key statutes. • You've run a high-volume legal queue where you were personally accountable for turnaround — you know how to triage, when 80% today beats 100% next week, and when to slow down because it matters. • You thrive in ambiguity and are proactive in finding the information you need to make informed decisions and guide the business forward. • You've operated in a fast-moving, scrappy, high-growth environment where priorities changed weekly and structure didn't exist until you built it — templates, playbooks, intake, or workflows that outlasted you. Extreme ownership is a mentality we embrace. • You work the way we work: Slack, Notion, Google Drive, and AI systems in daily use. Someone who works exclusively in Word attachments and email chains will struggle here; someone tech-native will thrive. • You bring high EQ to hard conversations — counseling colleagues under deadline pressure and negotiating across cultures and company sizes with practical, calm, solution-focused advice. You communicate in bullet points rather than paragraphs. • JD and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. • 6+ years of relevant legal experience with significant depth in technology transactions and privacy (healthcare/HIPAA/GDPR/CCPA experience strongly preferred). • Speed and throughput. You turn documents fast, juggle many matters simultaneously, and know when 80% today beats 100% next week. • Genuine comfort with ambiguity. You're self-directed, you make judgment calls with incomplete information, and you don't wait to be handed a process — you build one. • Fluency with modern tools. Our legal work lives in Slack, Notion, and Google Drive, and we use AI systems daily for triage and drafting. Someone who works exclusively in Word attachments and email chains will struggle here; someone who's tech-native will thrive. • High EQ. You'll counsel colleagues under deadline pressure and negotiate with counterparties across cultures and company sizes. Practical, calm, solution-focused advice is the job. No jargon. • In-house experience at a technology company shipping products with novel legal risk, ideally involving AI, training data, or health data. • Experience negotiating data licensing agreements or other data-centric commercial deals. • Familiarity with de-identification standards (Expert Determination, Safe Harbor) and the healthcare data ecosystem. • Experience being an early or solo in-house lawyer — building intake, templates, and outside counsel relationships from scratch. • Pass the Loved Ones’ Test • We act with integrity and do the right thing — especially when it’s hard and no one is watching. • Always Find a Way • We are resourceful, resilient builders who solve hard problems and push through obstacles. • Go Fast and Grow Fast • Velocity matters. We move with urgency, learn quickly, and continuously improve as individuals and as a company. • Practice Kindness and Candor • We communicate directly and respectfully, building trust through honest feedback and genuine care for one another. • Deliver Together • We win as one team. Collaboration, accountability, and shared ownership drive our success. • Own the Outcome. Hone the Craft. • We take pride in our work, sweat the details, and continuously raise the bar for excellence.
