surge-ai - IP and Data Privacy Counsel

Remote - United States2d ago

Remote Senior NA Legal Privacy Counsel Lawyer

Requirements

• 5-10 years of experience as a lawyer, at a law firm (mid-level associate or higher) or in-house. • Hands-on experience with US and EU/UK privacy laws, including filings, compliance programs, and following new legislation. • Strong working knowledge of trademark and copyright, and of current case law, especially the cases shaping how AI companies use and produce content. • Clear, practical communication. You give a recommendation and explain the risk in plain language, not a memo that avoids a call. • Comfortable with ambiguity. You can structure a question nobody has answered yet and keep moving. • Able to work with engineers, researchers, and business teams who want to move fast, and find a path that holds up legally. • Genuinely curious about AI and how models are built and evaluated. • Willing to do the work yourself, from drafting to filings, while the team is small, and interested in leading and developing new talent as we grow.

Responsibilities

• Advise on data privacy across US and EU/UK law, and build and maintain our privacy program, including policies, notices, data processing agreements, and our approach to cross-border transfers. • Handle privacy filings and registrations, and respond to regulator, customer, and contributor inquiries. • Advise on copyright, trademark, and other IP questions that come up in AI data work, including how IP flows between Surge, our customers, our vendors and our contributors. • Track litigation, legislation, and regulation on AI, data, and IP, and act as an early warning indicator for any issues that impact our business. • Work with our corporate counsel to set IP and data terms in customer and vendor agreements. • Partner with product, engineering, security, and HR on new data flows and features. • Manage outside counsel, and decide what we handle in-house. • Write guidance that people can actually use.
