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.

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 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.
