About the role
Serve as embedded product counsel for a portfolio of Ironclad products and features, with particular focus on AI-enabled, agentic, data-intensive, and workflow-integrated capabilities. That means you will join product development early—during roadmap, discovery, PRD, design, and testing—to identify legal, regulatory, privacy, IP, ethical, and customer trust considerations before they become launch blockers.
What they're looking for
- JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership, with substantial legal experience spanning a leading law firm and high-growth technology company. 12+ years of legal experience preferred with at least 5 of those in-house
- Deep experience in at least one of product counseling or privacy/data protection
- Demonstrated ability to advise on complex, ambiguous matters involving product design, data, AI systems, emerging regulation, IP, security, and commercial risk
- Experience building or improving scalable legal programs, including governance frameworks, review processes, playbooks, templates, decision tools, training, or knowledge systems
- Strong understanding of how AI products are built and operated, including model or provider selection, training and evaluation, benchmarking, retrieval, prompt or agentic workflows, human oversight, testing, monitoring, and change management
- Ability to translate technical, legal, and regulatory complexity into clear recommendations, workable product requirements, and business decisions
