## About the role

Eight Sleep’s legal team is one person today: our first in-house legal counsel, who handles everything from IP and litigation to privacy, regulatory, and commercial matters. You’d be the second lawyer, reporting to her, and for a while the team is the two of you.

## What they're looking for

- JD and active bar membership in at least one US state
- 8 to 12 years of relevant experience, including meaningful time in-house. This role moves quickly, and we’re not looking for someone coming straight from private practice
- Solid working knowledge of the privacy and regulatory areas that matter to us: US privacy (CCPA/CPRA), GDPR, and FTC and consumer protection
- Above all, a versatile generalist. You’ve worked across more than one area in-house, and you’re comfortable picking up an unfamiliar matter and figuring it out
- A self-starter who works hard, makes decisions independently, and advises the business directly rather than routing everything to outside counsel
- Comfortable in a fast-moving environment where you build rather than maintain
