• Have experience advising on AI, ML, or emerging technology products and are comfortable navigating ambiguity in fast-moving technical environments.
• Are both strategic and hands-on. Comfortable both setting legal strategy, developing talent, building scalable programs, and reviewing a DPA redline when needed.
• Stay current on global privacy and AI regulations; CIPP/US and/or CIPP/E certifications are preferred but not required.
• Bring genuine enthusiasm for Webflow’s mission and a collaborative approach to legal work — operating as a trusted partner, not a blocker.

Responsibilities

• Lead Webflow’s global privacy and product legal strategy, including privacy policies, data handling practices, compliance programs, trainings, documentation, and scalable legal processes.

• Advise on AI-powered features and emerging technologies, including model training data, output liability, responsible AI governance, third-party AI tools, and the intersection of AI, IP, and privacy law.
• Lead privacy reviews, PIAs/DPIAs, data subject request processes, law enforcement request processes, privacy hygiene assessments, and cross-functional risk mitigation efforts with Security, Engineering, and Operations.
• Draft, review, and negotiate privacy-related agreements and terms, including DPAs, while providing privacy expertise across commercial deals, strategic partnerships, and M&A diligence.
• Monitor and interpret evolving global privacy and AI regulations, translating complex legal requirements into practical guidance that helps teams move quickly while managing risk.
