Job Description
Join Dojo, a fast-growing consumer tech company focused on creating innovative products for children. As the Head of Legal, you will be a key member of the leadership team, working directly with the co-founders and overseeing all legal aspects of the business. You will have the opportunity to shape the future of kids' tech and make a meaningful impact on children's lives.
- Assumer la responsabilité de tous les aspects juridiques de l'entreprise, y compris le produit, la confidentialité, le commercial, le corporate, l'emploi, la propriété intellectuelle, la réglementation et le contentieux.
- Diriger et développer une petite équipe interne de juristes, tout en gérant les avocats externes pour respecter le budget et les normes de qualité.
- Mettre en œuvre l'intelligence artificielle dans le travail quotidien sur les contrats, les accords de données et les examens de la confidentialité, afin d'améliorer l'efficacité et la qualité.
- You turn a messy problem into the two or three decisions that matter, and you write short. You hold a position without starting a war, and you change your mind when the facts change, and you move decisions on trust rather than title
- You move fast enough to make people slightly nervous, and you raise the bar on ambition as much as on rigor
- Product and business leaders who've worked with you say, unprompted, that you made them faster and found answers they hadn't seen. You end your advice with what you'd do, and once the call is made you own it
- You've led legal at a consumer tech company of 100 to 1,000 people, where product and engineering create most of the value
- You've led talent-dense teams and managed several outside firms to budget. You know the right specialist for almost any problem and can get them on the phone today
- You're comfortable running M&A, financings and board work alongside a CFO
- You've rebuilt legal work with AI yourself, and can explain concretely how three lawyers plus specialists can match fifteen
- You've owned privacy for a consumer product, ideally one for kids, across COPPA, FERPA, state student privacy laws, CCPA/CPRA, GDPR and the new rules on AI. If your depth is narrower, you learn fast and already think about it clearly
- You won't match every line here. If these problems make you want to start tomorrow, apply anyway
- You can tell Dojo's story to a regulator, a reporter or a partner and leave them on our side
- You've stepped into an existing legal function and made it markedly better, or led a distributed team
- Time spent in strategy consulting, operating, finance or engineering
- 10+ years in law, ideally including child-directed products or student data
