Neuralink
South San Francisco, TX
Job Description
Role Overview

We are a small, dedicated legal team deeply embedded in the business. You will be a vital part of a collaborative and adaptive team that embraces a growth mindset. We handle a wide range of legal issues, and you will have the opportunity to take ownership of key projects and make a tangible, company-wide impact on the business.

What You Will Do

As our Associate General Counsel, Privacy & Compliance, you will lead Neuralink’s privacy program across the United States and international jurisdictions, including governance, policies, training, vendor diligence, incident response, and data subject rights.
