• Proactively update and maintain compliance documentation with attention to detail.
• Deploy and maintain tools to track compliance related OKRs and measure and optimize the effectiveness of compliance programs and training initiatives.
• Monitor, analyze and report on evolving global laws and regulations affecting the SaaS space, maintaining a specific focus on U.S. and EU developments.

• 5+ years of experience in privacy or compliance management within a B2B SaaS or cloud-native environment, heavily regulated industry or at a law firm or government agency.
• Strong operational understanding of global data protection laws (such as GDPR and CCPA), emerging AI laws, traditional consumer protection frameworks, and the willingness to learn other global regulatory frameworks applicable to SaaS.
• Demonstrated capability to work cross-functionally understanding the priorities of the business as a whole and of each department to thoughtfully implement compliance policies and procedures.
• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills with a demonstrated ability to translate complex legal and regulatory frameworks into plain-language questions, tasks and explanations for all departments at Lucid.
• Exceptional analytical skills to proactively spot control gaps, policy violations, and prioritize remediation paths.
• A highly responsive and self-motivated professional with a genuine curiosity for technology, a rapid learning curve, and a proven ability to take immediate initiative, prioritize multiple urgent tasks, and provide suggestions when navigating complex, ambiguous situations.
• A strong foundational understanding of how modern cloud software is built, how SaaS companies operate and how to navigate regulatory requirements around business realities.
