• Risk Spotter: Identify potential legal risks in contracts, policies, and operational procedures and propose practical mitigation steps.
• Project Contributor: Support policy creation (privacy-focused product language, terms of service, contributor agreements) and help with IP and open-source compliance tasks.

Key Objectives:

• Timely Deliverables: Produce high-quality legal drafts, memos, and research on time to meet business and regulatory deadlines.
• Risk Reduction: Identify and reduce legal and compliance risks through proactive review and clear recommendations.
• Compliance Enablement: Create or refine templates, checklists, and playbooks to make legal compliance practical.
• Organized Records: Maintain accurate and searchable legal files and contract databases.
• Collaboration: Work closely with product, engineering, and leadership to integrate legal considerations early in the development lifecycle.

• Strong legal research, drafting, and document-management skills.
• Proven ability to turn legal requirements into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers.
