Description
We are looking for an organized, detail-oriented Senior Legal Operations & Privacy Specialist to join our growing, distributed team at Coforma.
As our Senior Legal Operations & Privacy Specialist, you will bridge the gap between substantive legal support and operational excellence. One day you'll be digging into evolving state or national privacy regulations; the next, you'll optimize our contract management systems or help shape our data governance framework.

Placement within this range will be based on the competency level of the candidate. To honor our company-wide equitable pay system, the posted salary range and corresponding tier salaries are non-negotiable.
This is a US-based remote position open to applicants in the states listed below with a strong preference for applicants currently residing in Florida, Georgia, or the Greater Washington DC / DMV metro area. Occasional travel for on-site meetings at our headquarters in North Bethesda, MD will be required.
To ensure we remain compliant with all state, county, and local employment and tax regulations, applicants must currently reside in one of the following states to be considered for employment with Coforma. This list will be updated periodically as our PeopleOps team works to open up hiring in additional states.
