Director of Legal, Product Foundations at Vercel

This is a high-impact leadership role for a seasoned legal professional with **12+ years of experience**, specifically within the high-growth B2B SaaS or infrastructure space. The ideal candidate is a "technical lawyer" who understands cloud architecture and data flows as well as they understand global regulations. You should have a proven track record of managing privacy programs and regulatory strategy while supporting rapid product shipping cycles. The compensation is highly competitive, with a base salary ranging from **$310k - $340k plus equity**. While the role requires a **3-day weekly presence in the San Francisco office**, it offers the chance to shape the legal foundation for a category-defining company in the AI-native web space. You’ll lead critical functions including IP, litigation, and incident response, reporting directly to the VP of Legal. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have deep expertise in **Privacy and Regulatory frameworks** (GDPR, CCPA) within cloud/PaaS environments. * Are comfortable making high-stakes risk assessments with "imperfect facts" to maintain developer velocity. * Have prior experience managing legal teams and navigating **IPO readiness or M&A**. * Possess a JD and California Bar admission (or eligibility for registered in-house counsel).
