Data Privacy focuses on protecting personal information and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations, while Data Security emphasizes technical measures to prevent unauthorized data access. Both roles are essential for comprehensive data protection but differ in their primary objectives and skill sets.

What is data privacy?

Data privacy refers to the protection of personal or sensitive information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. It involves implementing policies, procedures, and technologies to ensure that individuals’ data is collected, stored, and processed in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Data privacy professionals help organizations mitigate risks, maintain customer trust, and avoid legal penalties by ensuring proper handling of data. This field is especially important in industries that handle large volumes of personal information, such as healthcare, finance, and technology.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in data privacy roles?

Professionals in data privacy roles often encounter challenges such as keeping up with rapidly changing regulations, ensuring organization-wide compliance, and balancing data protection with business needs. They frequently collaborate with IT, legal, and business teams to develop and implement privacy policies, manage data subject requests, and respond to potential data breaches. Staying informed about new technologies and emerging threats is also essential, making continuous learning a key part of the role.

What is a data privacy job?

Data privacy jobs focus on helping a company manage and protect information. This has two primary focuses: company information and customer information. In these roles, you may study industry sources to evaluate potential risks, help ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and determine the best response to any violation of these rules. Data privacy jobs often involve using encryption to manage and store sensitive information, determining when or if to share information with others, and creating company policies to help ensure employees do not inadvertently violate privacy protection laws. Some industries—most notably healthcare—have additional data privacy requirements that you may be responsible for enforcing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a data privacy professional?

To thrive as a Data Privacy professional, you need strong knowledge of data protection laws (like GDPR and CCPA), risk assessment, and compliance best practices, often supported by a relevant degree or certifications such as CIPP or CIPM. Familiarity with privacy management tools, data classification systems, and legal research databases is typically required. Attention to detail, ethical judgment, and effective communication are key soft skills for managing sensitive information and educating stakeholders. These skills ensure organizations remain compliant, protect customer trust, and mitigate the risks of data breaches.

About the job

The Senior Attorney will join our in-house legal team. Reporting directly to the General Counsel, you will serve as a trusted business partner across the organization-advising on corporate transactions, employment matters, and the privacy implications of our expanding digital and loyalty platforms. This role offers meaningful ownership, a collaborative culture, and the chance to shape legal strategy for a fast-growing company at a pivotal moment.
This position requires broad legal expertise across multiple disciplines, including corporate governance, regulatory compliance, employment law, intellectual property, data privacy, litigation management, commercial contracting, and real estate. The Senior Attorney will exercise independent judgment while collaborating with global stakeholders to ensure legal compliance and support business objectives across multiple jurisdictions.
 
Candidates for this role are required to be based within 50 miles of one of the following established Blue Bottle Coffee geographic locations: The San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles
You Will:
Corporate & Commercial
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements including supplier contracts, real estate leases, licensing arrangements, and partnership agreements.
  • Support corporate governance activities including board meeting preparation, entity management across multiple jurisdictions, and subsidiary structuring.
  • Advise on regulatory compliance matters affecting multi-state retail operations, food and beverage regulations, and franchise law.
  • Work closely with Finance, Operations, and Business Development teams to provide timely, practical legal guidance on day-to-day transactions.
Labor & Employment
  • Manage a wide range of labor and employment matters including wage and hour compliance, workplace investigations, disciplinary actions, and terminations.
  • Advise HR on hiring practices, employee classification (exempt/non-exempt, employee/contractor), leave administration, and accommodation requests.
  • Handle employment-related disputes including demand letters, EEOC charges, state agency complaints, and civil litigation, coordinating with outside counsel as appropriate.
  • Draft and maintain employment policies, handbooks, and training materials that reflect current federal, state, and local law requirements.
  • Monitor legislative and regulatory developments in employment and labor law across key operating states and proactively advise the business on required adjustments.
  • Support union-related matters and collective bargaining processes where applicable.
Data Privacy & Technology
  • Serve as a primary legal resource on data privacy and security matters, advising on compliance with CPRA, CCPA, and other applicable US and international privacy regulations.
  • Review and negotiate data processing agreements, SaaS contracts, and technology vendor agreements with a focus on data risk allocation and security obligations.
  • Partner with the Technology, Marketing, and Customer Loyalty teams to conduct privacy impact assessments and implement privacy-by-design principles.
  • Develop and maintain internal data privacy policies, records of processing activities, and incident response protocols.
  • Lead the company's response to data subject requests and coordinate breach notification procedures in compliance with applicable law.
  • Monitor emerging privacy legislation and regulatory guidance, advising leadership on compliance implications and required policy updates.
General Legal Support
  • Manage outside counsel relationships and legal spend across practice areas.
  • Assist the General Counsel with special projects, board-level matters, and cross-functional legal initiatives.
  • Contribute to building and refining legal department processes, templates, and knowledge management systems.
You Are:
  • Comfortable with Structured Autonomy. You are confident in managing the full breadth of day-to-day US legal matters independently, and equally comfortable operating within a clear governance framework where material decisions are made in partnership with senior management. You escalate proactively and see close collaboration with leadership as a strength, not a constraint.
  • A Cross-Cultural Communicator. You possess exceptional communication skills and emotional intelligence, enabling you to translate complex U.S. legal concepts into clear business guidance for global stakeholders across cultures and time zones.
  • A Collaborative Partner. You enjoy mentoring business teams, increasing legal and risk awareness, and building trusted relationships across corporate and retail functions. You are viewed as a strategic business partner who enables informed decision-making.
  • Committed to Excellence. You have developed deep legal expertise throughout your career and are motivated by ownership, continuous learning, and the opportunity to serve as the primary legal advisor supporting a dynamic and growing U.S. business.
You Have:
Required
  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school, active bar admission, and good standing to practice law in California or New York.
  • 8-10 years of post-qualification experience (PQE), with a meaningful mix of law firm and in-house legal experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated expertise across at least two of the three core practice areas: corporate/commercial, labor and employment, and data privacy.
  • Strong transactional skills with hands-on experience drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements.
  • Solid understanding of US employment law across multiple jurisdictions, including familiarity with California employment requirements.
  • Practical knowledge of US data privacy frameworks, particularly CCPA/CPRA, and experience advising on digital products and consumer data programs.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills with the ability to explain legal concepts clearly to non-legal business partners.
  • Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.
Preferred
  • In-house experience at a consumer retail, food and beverage, restaurant, hospitality, or franchise business.
  • Familiarity with franchise disclosure documents (FDDs), franchise regulation, and multi-unit franchise operations.
  • Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese (written and spoken) is a plus, as the role involves communication with counterparts and stakeholders in connection with the company's international sourcing operations and business expansion activities.
A few benefits we offer:
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage for eligible employees starting on your first day
  • 401(k) plan
  • Paid time off & paid volunteer hours
  • 50% discount on all products, both online and in-cafe; this includes food, beverages, whole-bean coffee, and merchandise
  • Flexible spending account & commuter benefits
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Additional benefits information
