What they're looking for
- A J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in at least one state bar (California or Texas preferred)

- A minimum of 10 years of privacy-focused legal practice, with substantial in-house experience leading a privacy program. CIPP/US and CIPP/E (or equivalent) strongly preferred
- Deep, hands-on expertise with HIPAA (Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules), including BAA negotiation and the privacy dimensions of clinical research (IRB processes, informed consent)
- Demonstrated command of GDPR, UK GDPR, and the US state privacy law landscape, including international data transfers and DPO/representative obligations
- Track record of running Privacy by Design with engineering and product teams — PIAs, DPIAs, data mapping, and embedding privacy into product development
