Senior Counsel - Technology, Product & Privacy

Job Description:

Overview:

We don’t simply hire employees. We invest in them. When you work at Chatham, we empower you — offering professional development opportunities to help you grow in your career, no matter if you've been here for five months or 15 years. Chatham has worked hard to create a distinct work environment that values people, teamwork, integrity, and client service. You will have immediate opportunities to partner with talented subject matter experts, work on complex projects, and contribute to the value Chatham delivers every day.

We are seeking a senior in-house attorney with 10+ years of experience to support the company’s global technology platform, digital products, and data-driven initiatives in a highly regulated financial services environment. This role will partner closely with the business and technology teams in development and maintenance of our client-facing technology platform and expected to provide practical, solutions-oriented legal advice that enables innovation.

This is not a policy-only role. The successful candidate will work directly with product, engineering, and business leaders to solve problems and deliver legally defensible solutions that allow the business to move forward. The environment is fast-paced, collaborative and innovative. The ability to balance multiple stakeholders and priorities is essential. This role is expected to partner upstream with product and engineering teams throughout product discovery and design, contributing to real-time decisions on how enterprise software and data-driven features are built, not just whether they can launch.

Role and Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary legal advisor to technology and product teams with an emphasis on practical, business-oriented guidance

• Own the company’s global privacy and data protection legal framework (GDPR, UK GDPR, U.S. state privacy laws, and other global regimes)

• Advise on legal implications of regulatory requirements affecting technology, products, and websites

• Draft, review, and negotiate technology, data, and platform agreements

• Draft and advise on platform Terms of Use, user agreements, and website legal disclosures

• Identify and flag potential compliance issues and coordinate with Compliance to develop workable solutions

• Monitor legal and regulatory developments and translate them into actionable guidance

• Advise senior management on strategic technology initiatives

Contributors to Your Success:

• 10+ years of legal experience, including in-house experience in a regulated financial services or similar global regulated environment

• JD and active bar admission

• Experience engaging effectively with technology and product teams, including the capacity to understand and evaluate technical concepts sufficiently to provide informed, actionable legal advice

• Experience advising on enterprise software and data-driven products, with demonstrated comfort engaging directly in product discovery and design discussions (e.g., consent flows, data models, system architecture, AI use cases), rather than operating solely as a downstream legal reviewer at launch

• Demonstrated ownership of privacy and data protection legal programs

• Experience with website compliance, cookies, online disclosures, and platform terms

• Practical, solutions-oriented mindset with strong commercial judgment

• Ability to start work on an expedited basis; near-term availability strongly preferred

• Experience advising on AI governance or advanced analytics in regulated environments
