• Minimum 5–7 years' experience, including at least 3 years as Product Counsel with a US- or EU-based software/SaaS company.
• Demonstrated product counseling experience, including (i) advising product teams on all related aspects including privacy, commercial, intellectual property, open source, and consumer protection issues; (ii) reviewing and drafting tech transaction documents; and (iii) assessing issues of first impression.
• Substantive experience advising on data privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and comparable frameworks) in a product or technology context.
• Direct experience advising on AI/ML products or features, including familiarity with AI regulatory developments (EU AI Act, U.S. state AI laws) and their practical application.
• Experience reviewing or negotiating AI-related contract terms (data processing addenda, AI schedules, model usage rights) is strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with procurement, supply chain, or enterprise B2B SaaS platforms is a plus.
• Strong business judgment and ability to translate complex legal and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable product guidance.

Key Responsibilities

1. Product/Services

• Serve as primary legal counsel to the Product and Engineering teams, embedding in planning, design, and sprint cycles to provide real-time legal input on new features and products.
• Advise on legal and compliance aspects of GEP's managed services and consulting offerings through use of AI and GEP Products, including service descriptions and client-facing service commitments.
• Review product features and releases across all legal topics - including data privacy, AI/ML functionality, intellectual property, consumer protection, and accessibility - before launch.
• Partner with Product Managers and Engineers to build legal and compliance review into the product development lifecycle, rather than as a late-stage gate.
• Translate legal and regulatory requirements into practical product requirements, working directly with engineers on implementation (e.g., consent flows, data retention controls, model logging, opt-outs).
• Build trusted, responsive working relationships with Product, Engineering, Design, and Security leadership.
• Deliver training and practical guidance to product and engineering teams on regulatory, legal and compliance related requirements within the Product.

2. AI Governance & Privacy

• Review AI-powered features and functionality for legal and regulatory risk, including model training data sourcing, output accuracy and liability, bias and fairness testing, and transparency.
• Advise on responsible AI use and emerging regulation, including the EU AI Act, U.S. federal and state AI laws, and sector-specific requirements, as applied to GEP's products.
• Own privacy review of new products and features and advise on compliance with global data privacy laws as they apply to GEP's platform and AI capabilities.
• Maintain GEP's internal AI governance framework, risk-tiering methodology, and product review checklists, updating them as the regulatory landscape evolves.

3. Contracts Escalation

• Serve as the legal escalation point for the Global Contracts Team on AI schedules and other AI-related contract provisions.
• Resolve non-standard AI schedule requests and negotiation escalations, ensuring contractual commitments accurately reflect current product and model capabilities.
• Maintain and update GEP's standard AI schedule, fallback positions, and playbook guidance in coordination with the Contracts Team and Product organization.
