As IP and Data Privacy Counsel at Surge, you’ll be our in-house expert on the legal questions at the center of our business: how data is collected and handled, who owns the data and content that AI systems are built on, and how our work fits into privacy and IP law that is changing quickly. You’ll be an early member of a new legal team and work directly with our General Counsel.

This role is ideal for a lawyer who wants to work close to the frontier of AI, is comfortable when the law is unsettled, and wants to build programs rather than inherit them.

Advise on data privacy across US and EU/UK law, and build and maintain our privacy program, including policies, notices, data processing agreements, and our approach to cross-border transfers.

Handle privacy filings and registrations, and respond to regulator, customer, and contributor inquiries.

Advise on copyright, trademark, and other IP questions that come up in AI data work, including how IP flows between Surge, our customers, our vendors and our contributors.

Track litigation, legislation, and regulation on AI, data, and IP, and act as an early warning indicator for any issues that impact our business.

Work with our corporate counsel to set IP and data terms in customer and vendor agreements.

Partner with product, engineering, security, and HR on new data flows and features.

Manage outside counsel, and decide what we handle in-house.

Write guidance that people can actually use.
