VeraSafe frequently hires for lawyer and consultant positions on a rolling basis. We are growing rapidly and seek to proactively build a strong talent pool to meet sustained, increasing client demand.

About the Role:

This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney with 4-6 years of experience who wants to join a team working on the cutting edge of privacy and data protection, and who wants to further develop a practice in an in-demand, high-tech area of law. We are inundated with business from clients who love the way we advise on privacy compliance (hence the need for you!).

While this role requires professional experience in privacy law, we are prepared to welcome you to our team with a robust and established onboarding and training process. We typically advance people more quickly than your typical law firm, and we do it on an individual basis (no lockstep promotions or compensation).

Note: We include skills assessments in the recruitment for this position. We know this is a burden, but we think it’s worth it, and we appreciate you taking the time to complete it. We’ve found it enables us to find the best attorneys, regardless of their experience, where they went to law school, or where they were trained. We want smart, kind, creative lawyers, plain and simple, and this assessment is a crucial part of our ability to hire this way.

We are not your typical legal job. We use project managers to keep our remote team organized and our projects streamlined and on-track. We encourage our team members to travel and to make use of our ability to work as digital nomads, whether that means spending a few months abroad or on extended trips to be near family. We collaborate closely (you won’t feel like you’re working in isolation) and we actively encourage sharing of credit for work well done, resources, and advice (and penalize the reverse). We are not biglaw. We do top-notch work for interesting clients, yet we pride ourselves on our team members being happy, with time and energy for a life outside of work, which we believe makes us better attorneys who don’t burn out.

Responsibilities Include:

• Assessing client information systems for compliance with data protection laws and regulations
• Drafting data protection agreements, addenda, and amendments
• Advising clients on privacy-related product improvements
• Researching legal issues and composing legal opinions/memoranda
• Writing privacy law related articles and blog posts
• Assisting in the development of in-house legal templates
• Contributing to the development of internal procedures and methodologies
• Collaborating with a team of intellectual peers who value cooperation and community

What We Need From You

Need to Have:

• License to practice law (active and in good standing) in your jurisdiction
• Experience in privacy/data protection of 4-6 years or experience in the field of life sciences of at least 4 years
• Team player, interested in contributing to a growing enterprise
• Strong writing/editing skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work remotely
• Willingness to learn new skills and receive direction and feedback from partners
• Willingness to pursue privacy certifications (e.g., CIPP/E, CIPM)

Nice to Have:

• Experience working in a law firm
• Previous contract drafting and negotiation experience
• Privacy certifications of some kind (e.g., CIPP/E, CIPP/US, specialty from law school, etc.)
• Professional involvement in the privacy and/or data security space (attendance at privacy conferences; membership or publication in the IAPP, etc.)
• Detail-oriented and highly organized with a strong work ethic
• Tech-savvy and comfortable using a variety of software applications
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage your own schedule in order to work successfully with international teams and meet deadlines
• Ability to work independently and fully deliver on all commitments
