Protege is the trusted source for AI-ready, real world data and expertise at every stage of the AI lifecycle. Backed by a16z and CRV.
About the role
We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You've negotiated and closed complex technology or data transactions end-to-end — ideally including data licensing, and ideally opposite technical counterparties
- You've run a high-volume legal queue where you were personally accountable for turnaround — you know how to triage, when 80% today beats 100% next week, and when to slow down because it matters
- You thrive in ambiguity and are proactive in finding the information you need to make informed decisions and guide the business forward
- You've operated in a fast-moving, scrappy, high-growth environment where priorities changed weekly and structure didn't exist until you built it — templates, playbooks, intake, or workflows that outlasted you. Extreme ownership is a mentality we embrace
- You work the way we work: Slack, Notion, Google Drive, and AI systems in daily use. Someone who works exclusively in Word attachments and email chains will struggle here, someone tech-native will thrive

We're hiring our second attorney: a hands-on counsel who will work directly with the CLO and own a large share of Protege's day-to-day legal work. This is not a narrow specialist seat. On any given week you'll move between a data licensing agreement with a hospital system, a de-identification question under HIPAA, an NDA for a frontier lab, a vendor BAA, and a cross-border transfer analysis — often several of these in the same...
