- Advise teams on key emerging areas for our core product, with a particular focus on generative AI, content acquisition, IP/copyright, open source, and privacy issues.
- Develop and drive implementation of practical measures to mitigate risk, increase speed and efficiency, and advance the long-term goals of Pinterest.
- Implement scalable legal processes, automation, and AI-enabled solutions that improve efficiency, reduce cycle times, and help deliver high-quality guidance to product and engineering teams with greater speed and consistency.
What we’re looking for:
- JD with 8+ years relevant work experience in a demanding and innovative legal environment; at least 2 years in-house at a tech company preferred.
- Experience counseling on issues related to artificial intelligence, IP/copyright, safety, and privacy.
- Exceptional judgment and impeccable integrity with excellent communication skills.
- Process-driven and results-oriented with proven ability to identify, prioritize and resolve issues quickly and independently.
- Strategic thinking, with a track record of delivering creative and pragmatic solutions to novel issues.
- Strong project management skills, with ability to build sustainable programs and processes for scale and drive strategic, cross-functional initiatives to completion.
- An AI-forward mindset, with experience using AI as a tool to accelerate analysis, simplify complex problems, and uncover more effective ways to support fast-moving product development.
