Born out of a long-standing imbalance of power, and coupled with a political climate that resulted in fewer rights being afforded to RCMP members as the force expanded, the National Police Federation was founded to represent members of the RCMP and help move the organization forward in the decades to come. Some of the core areas that will be addressed and challenged during the negotiation process include: a shift to fair and competitive wages being paid to members, providing for proper staffing and training for new members, as well creating a more modern benefits package. The founders and executives of the NPF have long held the position that members of the RCMP deserve a viable, representative voice, similar to the ones afforded to other police organizations across Canada and around the world. In a historic vote that took place in late 2018 with the results being announced in July 2019, voting members of the RCMP elected, with an overwhelming majority, to certify the National Police Federation as their new bargaining agent. The National Police Federation has assembled a team of well-researched, knowledgeable, professional and credible members who are passionate about advancing all members’ rights and protecting all members’ interests and benefits. The NPF Board met in early January 2020 in Ottawa to further buildout the framework for how the Federation will function and sustain itself as it advances the interests of its members. The NPF’s Board is comprised of 17 elected leaders from across Canada, including the organization’s co-founder, Brian Sauvé who serves as the President. The NPF is the largest police association/union in Canada by far and second in North America only to the NYPD.

Our mission within the Legal Team is to work behind the scenes to help Shopify make commerce better for everyone. We must be able to apply our knowledge and experience in order to protect Shopify’s interests in a way that allows our business to stay agile and competitive.   About the team Shopify’s Privacy & Intellectual Property Team is a small but growing part of our broader Legal Team, tasked with working closely with senior management and Shopify’s brilliant R&D teams to address and mitigate legal risks relating to Shopify’s products and data. In particular, we are responsible for managing Shopify’s privacy and data protection program, building Shopify’s IP portfolio, and managing disputes, regulatory inquiries, and litigation relating to either privacy or intellectual property.   About You Are you an experienced in-house privacy counsel ready for a new challenge? Do you have experience dealing with data protection authorities, consumer protection regulators, law enforcement, competition authorities, and other types of regulators? Are you comfortable providing pragmatic guidance on privacy and data protection requirements to PMs and devs moving a million miles a minute? Shopify is looking for a senior privacy lawyer with extensive privacy and regulatory experience to help us build our privacy program. This is not a “compliance” role - we want privacy lawyers who think big picture, who can help our R&D teams appreciate risks 5-10 years down the road, and who can provide pragmatic advice beyond the letter of the law. We also are looking for someone who has extensive experience working with regulators, and can help us strategically respond to and engage with relevant regulators and law enforcement around the world.   Your primary responsibilities will be to oversee our regulatory interactions relating to data, privacy, law enforcement, and competition. You will help us decide when and how to proactively engage with regulators, and when we receive an inquiry you will help us respond thoughtfully and strategically. You will also help with more generic aspects of Shopify’s privacy program, including product counseling, managing potential security incidents, helping our commercial team with data and privacy intensive negotiations, assisting with data protection impact assessments, etc. This role will be located in either our Ottawa or Toronto offices.

You need to be a self-starter who thrives without regular oversight as your lead will be remote, and you should be comfortable with that An exceptional ability to communicate verbally and in writing with a wide variety of audiences about extremely complex technologies and legal requirements, using plain language The ability to build and maintain strong relationships with a variety of people and teams, both internal and external. You will need to be able to gain the trust of a wide range of folks at Shopify, to speak to each team “in their language,” and to make them feel comfortable enough to reach out when things go wrong. You will also need to build trusted relationships with key external stakeholders. The ability to talk about highly technical products and services with both technical experts and regulators with no technical background A desire to work on an agile, pragmatic team. This is not “compliance” work. This is a risk management role, and you will need to be comfortable providing pragmatic responses to a team that is moving quickly and does not have the time for a law school lecture Bonus experience: A CIPP certification (CIPP/C, CIPP/US, and/or CIPP/E) Litigation experience Experience with tech policy work, particularly relating to privacy and data protection. Examples include participating in regulator-led workshops, working with legislators on proposed legislation, or meeting with or submitting comments to regulatory bodies to discuss proposed rules An appreciation for Halloween, Karaoke and Trivia night.
