About The Position

Help shape the legal foundation of a fast-growing AI company. You'll partner closely with Product and Engineering to provide pragmatic guidance across the product lifecycle—advising on data collection, retention, consent, and privacy-by-design. You'll own Parallel's privacy and data protection program, from policies and DPAs to data mapping and compliance across GDPR, CCPA, and emerging AI and state privacy laws. Along the way, you'll build the templates, playbooks, and self-service tools that scale the function.
