Job description

Amplemarket's premise is that a lot of the playbooks used by B2B sales teams that worked 5 years ago don't cut it anymore.

In today's environment, sales teams need to have a tremendous amount of information about their prospects to decide when is the best moment and channel to reach out in the most relevant way. You can't do this with 5 different data/sales enablement point solutions that don't share the same data schema and barely communicate with each other. Amplemarket is the all-in-one compound solution that enables this.

Our AI-powered sales platform helps B2B companies generate more opportunities thanks to our advanced lead generation engine, hyper-personalized sequencing, omnichannel outreach, and AI-powered smart actions. We are backed by Y Combinator, and we are powering the sales teams at some of the fastest-growing companies in the world like Deel, Moveworks, H1 and Vanta.

As our Head of Legal & Compliance, you will be the owner of how we handle data, how our dialer and AI calling work, and how we get through enterprise legal and security reviews. This is a build-from-scratch role, and you'll do it as part of the product conversation rather than after it.

The Role As our Head of Legal & Compliance, you will be the owner of how we handle data, how our dialer and AI calling work, and how we get through enterprise legal and security reviews. This is a build-from-scratch role, and you'll do it as part of the product conversation rather than after it.

What you'll do

Dialer & AI Calling Compliance

• Own our TCPA position and the state telemarketing statutes that stack on top of it — consent, DNC, call recording, and the disclosure rules around AI-generated voice
• Partner with Product and Engineering on how consent and suppression are actually enforced in the platform, not just documented
• Manage a specialist TCPA firm on retainer, deciding what we elevate and what we handle in-house

Privacy & Data Sourcing

• Own the privacy program end to end — GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and the expanding US state patchwork, DSARs, opt-outs and data broker registration
• Own where our data comes from and on what basis: supplier diligence, lawful basis, legitimate interest assessments, DPIAs and transfer impact assessments
• Hold the DPO designation and set our approach to AI governance as we ship more agentic features
• Draft and negotiate customer and vendor contracts, DPAs and everything around them
• Own enterprise security and privacy reviews and take them off the critical path of a deal
• Be the person our customers' counsel talks to, and make that a reason we win rather than a reason things stall

Product Partnership

• Sit in roadmap planning and shape what we build, rather than reviewing it afterwards
• Turn regulatory constraints into clear product requirements the team can act on
• Flag what's coming early enough to design for it, and tell the difference between a real constraint and a cautious read that costs us speed

Who you are

• 8+ years combining law firm and in-house experience, qualified to practise in the US
• Deep, hands-on privacy experience — GDPR and CCPA/CPRA as tools you've used, not topics you've read about
• Proven experience advising product and engineering teams, and comfort being in the room when technical decisions get made
• Track record of building a legal or compliance function from scratch, with the judgment to know what to formalise and what to leave alone
• Strong, direct communication — much of this job is making regulatory constraints legible to people who don't read statutes
• Experience in early-stage or high-growth environments, comfortable wearing both strategic and tactical hats
• TCPA, telephony or dialer regulatory experience is a significant plus; if you don't haveit, you should want to own it
• Background at a sales-tech, B2B data or privacy-tech company, and certifications like CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPM or AIGP, are all welcome but not required
• Experience in Business Analytics, even if in college

More about Amplemarket:

• Last year we raised a $12M back-to-back Seed round+ Series A
• We are a fast-growing startup with product-market fit
• We have a great team spirit

We offer:

• Nice work environment
• Health Insurance
• Stock Options
• Annual company offsite in a secret location
• and more

Amplemarket is committed to creating an inclusive employee experience for all.

Regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or if you're parenting the next generation of innovators, we firmly believe that what truly matters is how your skills, knowledge and personality fit our company.
