Corporate Counsel
Why We Have This Role
Qualtrics is looking for a Corporate Counsel that has competitive drive, strong work ethic, tenacity, and visionary “whatever it takes” attitude. You will be primarily responsible for litigation and privacy, while also handling compliance, export controls, and bankruptcy matters.
How You’ll Find Success
Success in this role is about more than just legal acumen; it's about becoming a trusted, pragmatic business partner who drives results across a wide range of critical legal functions. We are looking for a skilled lawyer who thrives on complexity and ownership. You will succeed by demonstrating excellence in the following areas:
- Ownership and Autonomous Execution: You will operate and execute independently on a diverse and complex portfolio of legal matters, from litigation and privacy to export controls and bankruptcy. We expect you to always deliver results with incredible ownership, managing your projects with a reasonable amount of oversight and checking in regularly to align on strategic direction.
- Becoming a Go-To Expert: You will quickly become a highly proficient and go-to resource for the company. This means developing a deep specialization in several of the legal areas you manage, enabling you to handle novel questions and provide nuanced analysis. Your ability to learn quickly and master new domains will be critical to your success.
- Pragmatic and Trusted Partnership: You will build deep trust across the organization by being a responsive, helpful, and solutions-oriented partner. With a high EQ, you will translate complex legal requirements into actionable business guidance. Success means you are consistently sought out by internal clients who value your pragmatic advice and enjoy working with you.
- Strategic Business Acumen: You will move beyond purely legal advice by developing a sophisticated understanding of our company's products, organization, and risk tolerance. Your counsel will be not just legally sound but commercially astute, helping the business navigate challenges and achieve its goals in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
- Mentorship and Team Collaboration: As a key member of the team, you will contribute to a positive and inclusive environment. You will become a helpful mentor to more junior members of the Legal team and a respected advisor to colleagues across the business.
How You’ll Grow
You’ll know you’re doing a phenomenal job when:
- You are the company's go-to expert, autonomously managing complex litigation, privacy, and compliance matters.
- You translate complex legal matters into clear, actionable advice that empowers confident business decisions.
- You are a trusted, pragmatic partner, proactively sought out by teams across the business to help them navigate challenges.
Things You’ll Do
As a key member of our legal team, you will be responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of complex legal matters. Your core responsibilities will include:
- Litigation and Disputes: Managing all phases of litigation, pre-litigation disputes, and responses to third-party or government inquiries. You will develop and execute case strategy in collaboration with internal stakeholders and outside counsel.
- Privacy and Data Protection: Advising on global privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), managing our data privacy compliance program, and developing and maintaining key resources like our privacy policy and related notices.
- Growth Opportunities: This role primarily focuses on litigation and privacy, with significant opportunities for growth to support in additional areas such as trade compliance (export controls and sanctions), compliance, and bankruptcy.
- Process Improvement and Legal Resources: Developing and implementing processes to increase the overall effectiveness of the Legal team and maintaining a repository of legal resources, templates, and training materials for the business.
- You will be expected to remain up-to-date on relevant legal and regulatory developments across your areas of responsibility to ensure the team can provide robust and forward-looking legal advice.
What We’re Looking For On Your Resume
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree or equivalent international qualification.
- 4-9 years of experience in a similar or relevant role at a top law firm or company.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills and attention to detail.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and adapting to shifting priorities.
- Solution-oriented mindset able to work with teams to ensure they are able to accomplish their objectives while still meeting standards.
- Ability to manage and advise senior leadership.
- Strong preference for relevant litigation and privacy experience.
