  • Strategic mindset that balances proactive action and pragmatic risk management within resource constraints
  • Excellent writer and communicator who can tailor the message to the audience
  • Willingness to take on any project, from large to small
  • Experience with scaling processes and procedures for a fast-growing company
  • Demonstrated experience managing projects, prioritizing, and consistently achieving results
  • Curiosity and ability to jump into less familiar areas and learn while doing
  • High emotional intelligence with an attitude of open-mindedness, collaboration, flexibility, growth-mindset, kindness, and being humble

  • In-house experience at a consumer-facing technology platform
  • Experience with regulatory investigations
  • Experience with litigations in regions around the world, including Brazil, Israel, Europe and the UK
  • Experience with eDiscovery including complex eDiscovery projects for messaging applications involving voice, video and text
