5. Draft, review, negotiate, and manage commercial agreements or analyses required to enable product development.

6. Draft, review, negotiate, and manage privacy-related legal documents, including privacy notices, data processing agreements, data transfer agreements, business associate agreements, etc. Where applicable, complete privacy impact assessments and documentation to manage risk vis-a-vis business value within a global privacy program.

7. Collaborate with other legal and privacy team members to offer consistent guidance on key areas that cross the organization such as data use rights, data governance, consent, machine learning, data science, platform integration, contracts, etc.

8. Stay on top of regulatory trends for cutting-edge technologies, understand their potential implications to the digital health solutions of ResMed, and navigate the business through the complexity of such new areas to success.

Let’s Talk About Qualifications and Experience

1. 5 or more years of relevant legal experience in-firm or, preferably, in-house in a product or privacy counsel role. Experience in the digital space, particularly in SaaS, digital health technology, or the medical device and/or technology sector, is also preferred.

2. A juris doctorate (J.D.) with privacy experience and good standing in a state bar association or equivalent. One or more privacy certifications from recognized institutions, such as one of IAPP’s Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP) certifications, preferred.

3. Strong knowledge of and experience with healthcare regulations, privacy laws, and leading data protection frameworks, particularly those applicable to digital healthcare. Experience with HIPAA/HITECH is preferred, particularly in a business associate capacity.

4. Exceptional communication and organizational skills with a growth mindset including a strong desire and ability to make complex topics understandable for various audiences.
