Our products, business, and workplace culture have received numerous awards, such as being named to the Forbes Cloud 100 and a Fortune Best Workplace in Technology.

Protecting Lucid and our users is core to our business. We’re looking for a Regulatory & Product Counsel to join our close-knit legal department working on our Compliance team. This role will work directly with our cross-functional teams as the legal point of contact to advise on the implementation of privacy and other compliance requirements across the business (including engineering, marketing, growth and product), and will be responsible for ongoing compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The ideal candidate will be an analytical thinker who asks lots of questions, is able to efficiently interpret emerging and existing legal requirements, and is adept at providing actionable and practical compliance advice to Lucid’s cross-functional teams.

• Manage, develop and improve Lucid’s compliance programs.
• Ensure ongoing compliance with Lucid’s compliance programs by monitoring emerging laws, regulations and changes in business operations and product development.
• Serve as Lucid’s subject matter expert on global laws and regulations relevant to SaaS operations, with an emphasis on data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), in addition to AI compliance, marketing and sales outreach, and other key compliance areas.
  • Explain and apply these requirements to cross-functional teams across the business.
• Responsible for tasks such as risk-based privacy compliance assessments, organization-wide controls to track compliance with relevant laws and contractual commitments, and assisting with creating and maintaining compliance resources and policies.
• Continuously engage with and advise teams across Lucid to help them navigate compliance requirements and relevant privacy controls related to product development, vendors and business operations.
• Promote the principle of least privilege and privacy best practices across Lucid.
• Exercise a high degree of independent judgment and discretion in supporting our business teams.
• Develop deep expertise in our products and technology stack, and how they use and process information.

• J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school with excellent academic credentials; admission to a State Bar and an active license to practice law in that State.
• 3-5 years of relevant legal experience dealing with global regulatory regimes relevant to the SaaS technology industry, with an emphasis on data privacy laws and advising cross-functional teams to ensure legal requirements are honored and implemented.
• Experience formulating advice that balances legal risk and business impact with an ability to distill and effectively communicate risks and impact to non-legal business partners (e.g. engineering, product, and marketing).
• Ability to research, interpret and provide actionable analysis about complex regulations and legal requirements to Lucid management.
• Experience working with product, technology, and other internal teams to operationalize compliance requirements, with the ability to influence across functions and track and manage the project through completion.
• Demonstrated ability to learn quickly, prioritize multiple urgent tasks, take action, and provide clear direction in the face of ambiguity.
• Willingness to take initiative, be accountable and interface with Lucid’s cross-functional teams as a key point of contact on the Compliance team.
