Experience advising on domestic and international privacy requirements like GDPR and CCPA, product legal matters, and supporting marketing initiatives is also necessary. Crisis management experience with platform incidents or regulatory matters, along with demonstrated ability in independent judgment, balancing legal risk with business objectives, and cross-functional collaboration, are essential.
