The posting

INTRODUCTION:

TheZebra.com http://TheZebra.com meets customers right where their search for car and home insurance begins: online. We provide easy-to-use tools and services, plus friendly, licensed agents who offer advice and guidance at any point along the way. The Zebra has helped customers compare over 74 million quotes since 2012. At its heart, both insurance and tech industry veterans collaborate together to simplify insurance shopping for customers. In today's digital world, The Zebra's customer-centered approach offers people the choices they want and simplicity they need.

The Zebra was recently named Austin Business Journal's 2026 Best Place to Work. Our motto is "All Stripes Welcome." Building the best product, the best teams, and the best company comes from inviting a diverse array of voices, backgrounds, and perspectives to contribute, making everyone feel welcome. Our Zeebs are passionate about learning, growing, and working together to tackle exciting problems.

The Zebra is looking for a pragmatic, technically curious Senior Counsel, Privacy, Regulatory & Product to join our Legal team! Reporting to our SVP, Legal, who sets legal strategy, you will be the company's on-the-ground privacy expert and the day-to-day legal partner to our Technical Compliance, Product and Engineering teams.

You will take complex and novel privacy, AI and compliance questions and turn them into clear, actionable advice in plain, non-legal language, then work alongside the teams who build and implement it.

Much of this work is new territory. You'll advise on novel questions about AI in insurance and other regulated industries, where the law is still taking shape. The best candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, finds the technical detail interesting rather than an obstacle, and sees their role as a partner to the business, not a blocker.

LOCATION:

Our company headquarters are in Austin, TX, but our employees work remotely across the US. For folks who live around Austin, we offer the option to join us in our office or opt for a hybrid setup. Whether you prefer the structure of an office, the convenience of remote work, or a mix of both, we support what works best for you!

Please note: at this time we are not able to hire in Massachusetts.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Privacy & Data Use

- Lead day-to-day privacy counseling and carry out the privacy strategy set by the SVP, Legal. Advise on GLBA, CCPA/CPRA, other U.S. state privacy laws, TCPA and consumer consent.

- Advise on how we can use consumer data, including aggregation, de-identification and contractual limits.

- Own our privacy policy, GLBA notices, cookie and tracking controls, and terms of use. Help teams design consent flows and respond to consumer rights requests.

AI in Insurance

- Advise on emerging AI laws and insurance regulator guidance. Help teams design and launch AI features, including agents that act on a consumer’s behalf.

- Help build and run our AI governance program, including review processes, acceptable-use guidelines and risk assessments.

Product & Technical Compliance

- Partner with Technical Compliance, Product and Engineering from concept through launch. Review product specs and data flows, translate legal requirements into practical controls and help resolve open compliance questions.

- Advise on quote and comparison flows, rewards programs, SMS/RCS and email messaging, carrier and partner integrations, and identity and authentication.

Marketing & Legal Team Support

- Advise on consumer protection and insurance advertising, review marketing materials and serve as the escalation point for marketing questions.

- Partner with Legal on privacy, data and AI terms in partner and vendor agreements.

- Build playbooks and intake processes, train teams on privacy, responsible AI use and compliance, and manage outside counsel on specialized questions.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

As we evaluate candidates across all roles, we look for folks who have a strong sense of ownership, great communication and collaboration skills, and a dedication to continuous improvement.

- JD from an ABA-accredited U.S. law school and active membership in good standing in at least one state bar.

- 5–7 years in privacy, product counseling or regulatory compliance. In-house tech or consumer internet experience is ideal.

- Hands-on privacy counseling and working knowledge of GLBA, CCPA/CPRA, other state privacy laws, TCPA and Section 5 of the FTC Act.

- Experience advising on AI or data use and making practical recommendations when the law is unsettled.

- Experience working directly with compliance, product and engineering teams.

- Comfortable reviewing product specs and discussing data flows and APIs.

EXPERIENCE THAT WILL IMPRESS THE HECK OUT OF US:

- Experience in insurance, fintech, financial services or another regulated consumer industry.

- Familiarity with state insurance regulation.

- Experience building an AI governance or privacy program at a growth-stage company.

- IAPP certification, such as CIPP/US or AIGP.

WHY WORK HERE?

- When we say "All Stripes Welcome," we mean it. Considering viewpoints outside of our own creates a better, more inclusive experience for everyone.

- We live and breathe inclusion. You will be part of a wide array of voices, opinions, and experiences that inform everything we do.

- We believe in innovation. You will be part of experimentation, creative problem solving, cross-functional collaboration, and testing new approaches, tools, and ideas.

- We trust our teams. You'll own your work, balancing personal accountability with team accountability.

- We care about each other. You'll join a team that truly lives their values, both in and out of the office.

- We take thoughtful action. You will be empowered to do the right things as efficiently as possible.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
