Privacy Attorney

Job Description

Latitude Legal is seeking a Privacy Attorney with EU data protection experience to join the in-house legal team of a global consumer cybersecurity company on a fully remote engagement basis. The role is expected to start on a part-time basis (approximately 25 hours per week), with availability up to full-time hours preferred, and has potential to convert to a permanent position if there is a mutual fit. Candidates should be available during Eastern Time business hours, and New York-based candidates are preferred.

The company is a publicly traded technology company whose brands operate in the security/identity management space. The company has a significant European presence and operates in one of the most heavily regulated corners of tech: consumer data, privacy, AI and consumer finance. The Privacy Attorney will partner directly with product, engineering, security, and business teams, translating privacy requirements into clear, workable guidance, and handle a varied mix of work, from privacy reviews of new initiatives and vendor agreements to cross-border data transfers and evolving regulations. This role suits a practical, business-minded privacy attorney who can step into a busy in-house team and take ownership of the company's US and EU privacy matters quickly.

What You'll Do Includes:

Serve as a day-to-day privacy resource for product, engineering, marketing, security, and business teams on EU and global data protection requirements
Lead privacy reviews of new products, features, and initiatives, including data protection impact assessments and legitimate interest assessments
Advise on international data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses, transfer impact assessments, and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework
Review and negotiate data processing agreements and the privacy and security terms of vendor and commercial agreements
Support the company's privacy compliance program, including privacy notices, consent and cookie practices, records of processing, and data subject requests
Advise on privacy incidents and breach notification, and engage with regulators and data protection authorities as needed
Monitor evolving EU privacy and AI regulation and translate new requirements into practical guidance for the business

Who You Are:

U.S.-licensed attorney with 7+ years of data privacy experience, ideally a mix of in-house and law firm experience
Strong working knowledge of the GDPR and the ePrivacy framework, with hands-on experience advising on cross-border data transfers, DPIAs, and data subject rights
Experience engaging with supervisory authorities and managing privacy incidents is a plus
Familiarity with the EU AI Act and other emerging EU digital regulation is a plus
CIPP/E, CIPM, or AIGP certification is a plus
AI-literate, curious, and comfortable using AI tools in your legal work
A self-starter who spots opportunities to improve processes and acts on them
Commercially minded, with the judgment to give clear, practical guidance to non-lawyers
Able to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fully remote environment
Active bar admission in good standing in any U.S. jurisdiction
J.D. from an accredited law school
Outstanding references
