We believe passionately in the importance of growth and development for lawyers; and that every lawyer is entitled to a job from which they derive high levels of personal satisfaction.

He or she will develop the tools and techniques to deliver internal privacy capability at scale which subverts the expectations of stakeholders regarding privacy and AI governance laws (i.e. that it is bureaucracy) and drives tangible business outcomes.
