๐Ÿข About Axiomtalentplatform

Their focus on flexibility and high-impact projects makes them an attractive option for experienced attorneys seeking autonomy and variety in their work.

About This Role

This role involves advising clients on complex privacy compliance matters, including GDPR and CCPA, and shaping their privacy programs. As a key legal resource, you'll collaborate directly with business teams to implement practical solutions and drive data protection strategies.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a client call to discuss a new privacy impact assessment, followed by drafting a data-sharing agreement. You'll then review a vendor contract for compliance gaps and end the day by updating a training module for a client's employees, all while coordinating with Axiom's support team remotely.

  • A seasoned privacy lawyer with 4+ years of deep experience in U.S. and EU privacy laws, particularly GDPR and CCPA.
  • An expert in drafting and standardizing privacy policies, contracts, and training programs, with a track record of improving compliance.
  • A collaborative advisor who thrives on direct client interaction and can translate legal requirements into actionable business guidance.
  • An active bar member in their state, ready to work remotely and independently while maintaining strong stakeholder relationships.
