Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. For us, life's not about a job, it's about purpose. We believe real change starts with conversation. Here, your voice matters. Come as you are and together we'll do what's right (not what's easy) to serve the public conversation.

Who We Are:

The Experience Counsel team is a team of product attorneys who are key advisors to Twitter’s product, platform, engineering, security, data management, and machine learning/AI teams and partner closely with legal and business colleagues. We are passionate about the law and growing our business in a way that makes us proud.

What You’ll Do:

• Work as part of a cross-functional team delivering best in class privacy, cybersecurity and product counseling to Twitter’s Data Management Organization, Security, Engineering and Technology teams.

• Provide legal advice to our core services teams, such as information security, data management, and platform engineering, to ensure the Twitter products, services, platforms, and technology delivered by those teams are compliant with applicable laws, regulations, standards/controls, contractual obligations, and industry best practices.  You will be the lead legal advisor to executives, product managers, engineers, and compliance professionals.

• Act as one of the main points of contact for the Experience Counsel team on incidents involving potential data disclosure.  Collaborate with Security and Privacy on incident preparedness, investigation, communication, and remediation.

• Build and maintain scalable and effective processes for providing legal input to clients and standards for strategic initiatives related to core infrastructure, privacy by design, incident response management, data governance and related compliance processes, machine learning, and other cross-platform projects. 

• Collaborate with other product counsel and data protection teams to ensure we have visibility across business units and offer consistent guidance on key areas that cross the organization such as data governance, retention and deletion, anonymization/pseudonymization of data, security, geolocation, SDLC, privacy by design, and machine learning.

• Create and provide guides and training to legal team members, clients, and cross-functional stakeholders on how our foundational systems work and how we think about relevant laws, regulations, and self-regulatory frameworks with respect to those systems.

• Work collaboratively across multiple functions, including Legal, Engineering, Policy, Internal Audit, Design & Research, and Communications.

• Stay up-to-date on relevant U.S. and international laws and regulations, especially those related to cybersecurity, ML, privacy, data governance, and other applicable areas.
