Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As Vibe, Inc.'s first dedicated Legal Director and Data Protection Officer, you will serve as the cornerstone of the company's legal and compliance strategy, reporting directly to the CFO in New York City while anchoring legal operations across both US and European jurisdictions. This role exists because data is Vibe's core currency, and the company is expanding into complex, regulated verticals such as gambling, pharma, and enterprise partnerships — areas where legal precision and proactive compliance are non-negotiable for market entry and sustained growth. You will not merely advise but actively build the legal infrastructure that enables Vibe to operate with confidence in high-stakes, regulated environments.
• On a day-to-day basis, you will negotiate high-stakes Master Service Agreements (MSAs) and Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with global clients, ensuring contracts are structured to accelerate sales cycles while containing risk; you will direct and manage outside counsel on corporate and specialized legal matters to maintain cost efficiency and strategic focus; you will design and implement automated contract workflows that scale with Vibe’s rapid expansion into new markets and verticals, reducing manual overhead and increasing consistency.
• In your Data Protection Officer (DPO) mandate, you will own end-to-end compliance with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and SOC2 frameworks, conducting privacy impact assessments for new product features — especially those involving recommendation and creative engines — and managing complex data-sharing inquiries from enterprise partners with technical precision and regulatory awareness.
• You will build legal playbooks for safe entry into regulated verticals such as gambling and pharma, maintain continuous compliance across SOC2 and regional standards through proactive audits, and monitor global regulatory shifts in streaming TV advertising to ensure Vibe’s infrastructure remains ahead of emerging legal requirements.
• You will join a high-performance, mission-driven team at a category-defining AdTech platform backed by elite investors including Hedosophia, Elaia, and Illusian, and trusted by over 10,000 brands reaching 120+ million households. Vibe has achieved a $100M revenue run rate in under two years and is recognized as the fastest-growing software company in its class, offering a rare opportunity to shape legal strategy at the forefront of performance-based streaming TV advertising.
• In this role, you will develop deep expertise in the intersection of AdTech, data privacy, and global regulatory frameworks, gaining hands-on experience in building compliance programs for a high-growth tech company navigating complex verticals. You will sharpen your ability to translate legal risk into business enablement, positioning yourself as a strategic leader who doesn’t just protect the company but actively powers its expansion into new markets with confidence and agility.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of post-qualification experience in corporate law, with a strong focus on data-driven businesses where data privacy is core to the product (e.g., AdTech, streaming TV advertising, MarTech, FinTech, or large-scale consumer platforms)
• Deep, hands-on expertise in GDPR and US privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA), demonstrated through direct implementation and management, not just theoretical knowledge
• Proven experience negotiating commercial contracts, including MSAs and DPAs, with Tier 1 global brands and agencies
• Experience leading a technology company through SOC2, ISO 27001, or equivalent security and compliance certification

🏖️ Benefits

• Base compensation ranging from $200,000 to $275,000, based on experience
• Variable pay tied to measurable objectives, with no arbitrary targets
• Hybrid work model requiring 3 days per week in the NYC Flatiron District office
• Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan with company matching contributions
• Unlimited paid time off (PTO), with emphasis on results over hours worked
• Paid parental leave for all parents
• Annual company offsite retreat to foster team connection and strategic alignment
