  • Collaborate remotely with cross-functional teams to provide expertise on complex compliance and regulatory issues.

  • Develop scenario-based legal questions and answers reflecting current compliance laws, regulations, and industry practices.

  • Identify legal ambiguities, regulatory risks, and potential issues in AI-generated content, providing recommendations for improvement.

  • Contribute feedback to enhance AI training processes and improve the quality of legal datasets.

Required Skills
  • Expertise in U.S. compliance law.

  • Legal document analysis.

  • Legal writing and drafting.

  • Regulatory research.

  • Strong knowledge of U.S. laws and compliance frameworks.

  • Excellent attention to detail.

  • Critical thinking and analytical reasoning.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • Ability to collaborate effectively in a remote work environment.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited U.S. law school.

  • Active attorney license in good standing in the United States.

  • 3–15 years of recent experience practicing compliance law in the United States.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex legal concepts clearly and accurately.

  • Current experience practicing U.S. compliance law.

  • Judicial clerkship experience is preferred.

  • Experience teaching law or legal writing at an accredited law school is a plus.

  • Editorial experience with a law review or legal journal is highly valued.
