Job Description

Job Description: 

We are seeking a Director, Legal to provide hands-on legal leadership across four core areas: (i) product counseling; (ii) marketing, AI governance and privacy; (iii) public-company readiness, including building the technology and software development compliance processes and policies, such as open source software, AI and other authorized usage policies; and (iv) general corporate project work, including helping manage employment matters and litigation. The goal is to help the business move at the speed of the mission while managing risk in a highly regulated environment. 
 
This is a builder’s role in one of the fastest-moving defense technology companies in the world. You will be a primary legal partner to the teams that build, ship and sell Hivemind and Shield AI’s other software, and to People Experience (PX), Marketing and IT. You will stand up the programs, policies and playbooks that let those teams launch products, run campaigns, adopt AI, and you will be accountable for making Legal an enabler of rapid development and growth. 
 
Three qualities are non-negotiable: 
  • Executive and external credibility. You must have the presence, judgment and technical fluency to advise C-suite and executive leaders directly, and to represent Shield AI with confidence to partners, customers and outside counsel on AI, software, data and product questions.
  • Action orientation under shifting priorities. You must be able to run many projects and workflows at once, move quickly on urgent requests, re-prioritize without losing track of anything, and see matters through from intake to completion. In Shield AI’s words: be rigorous and go fast.
  • Practical, needs-driven program building. You must understand what product, engineering, marketing and PX teams actually need, and then proactively build scalable processes, policies and self-serve guidance that meet those needs, while doing what honor dictates when the answer is hard. 
The role is on-site at one of the Shield AI offices listed above. You will report to the Senior Director, Legal, who leads legal support for PX, Marketing, IT and many aspects of the Hivemind software business, including partnerships. You will work closely with the Chief Legal Officer and the broader Legal and Security teams, with opportunities to mentor attorneys and legal professionals, and manage outside counsel as the business expands.
