  • Support cross-functional teams — including Marketing, Partnerships, and Product — on commercial and vendor transactions
  • Assist with additional legal projects as needed to support Signifyd's rapid growth and expansion
  • Manage numerous projects simultaneously against competing deadlines and pressures
  • Exercise sound legal judgment and solve problems in a practical, business-minded way

  • Strong organizational and project management skills
  • Comfortable working in lean teams and wearing multiple hats
  • Able to successfully manage workload and priorities with minimal oversight

  • Experience with global privacy frameworks (e.g. GDPR, CCPA, LGPD)
