• Develop and implement the privacy function's foundational standards, processes, and playbooks, including privacy notices, data processing agreement templates, incident‑response and data‑subject‑request procedures, and negotiation guidance for vendor and technology matters, ensuring consistent application of policies, adherence to enterprise legal frameworks, and effective documentation and records integrity.

• Mentor attorneys and legal professionals supporting privacy matters and help scale the team as the function grows, providing guidance on complex matters, reinforcing best practices, and supporting professional development and performance expectations.

• Serve as a key legal partner to business leaders, collaborating across functions to anticipate legal risks, support initiatives, and deliver timely, practical legal solutions aligned with organizational priorities and values.

• Demonstrated experience building or helping build a data privacy program or support team, including drafting policies, standing up processes, and advising business stakeholders directly.

• Privacy certification (CIPP/US, CIPM, or equivalent) preferred.

• Experience advising executive leadership on complex legal, regulatory, and risk‑management matters.

• Strong leadership presence, with experience managing outside counsel and, ideally, mentoring or supervising junior legal team members.

• Experience negotiating vendor, SaaS, and data processing agreements at volume, balancing speed against risk.

• Exceptional negotiation, analytical, and communication skills.

• Ability to operate at both strategic and operational levels, balancing legal risk with business growth.
