The Role
ImpactShipt is seeking a Director, Privacy, Cybersecurity & AI to serve as a strategic enabler for our product, data, and AI initiatives. This role sits at the intersection of technology, business strategy, and regulation, with a clear mandate: help Shipt innovate faster while managing risk intelligently. While no two days are the same, you will lead the design and execution of scalable privacy, security, and AI governance programs that support high-velocity product development. This role is for a tech-fluent legal leader who understands how modern platforms are built and who can translate regulatory requirements into practical guardrails, not roadblocks or bottlenecks. You will lead a high impact team of two direct reports.

Privacy & Data Strategy: You will own Shipt’s privacy strategy and operating model, ensuring it scales with growth, new data uses, and evolving business models.
AI Governance & Responsible Innovation: You will lead Shipt’s AI governance and Responsible AI program, focusing on real-world deployment of AI systems, including agentic AI, automation, and decision-support tools. You will serve as a trusted internal expert on how AI systems work in practice—and where legal and ethical risks actually arise.
Cybersecurity & Incident Leadership: You will provide executive-level legal leadership on cybersecurity risk management, including alignment with frameworks such as NIST and SOC 2 and lead legal response for security incidents.
Team & Program Leadership: You will serve as a senior advisor to Legal leadership and executives on long-term data, AI, and platform strategy while leading a high performing team of two direct reports.

What You’ll Need to Be Successful

  • Significant in-house experience partnering closely with product and engineering teams

  • Proven ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels

  • Experience leading AI governance or Responsible AI programs in production environments is a plus

Pay Range: $157,000 - $300,000

Shipt Compensation & Benefits Highlights

The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Shipt and has not been reviewed or approved by Shipt.

  • Wellbeing & Lifestyle Benefits Pay is described as reaching higher hourly ranges on strong-tipping days, particularly when stacking well-tipped orders and cultivating repeat “preferred” customers. Flexibility is also positioned as a meaningful non-cash reward for those using the work as supplemental income.
  • Fair & Transparent Compensation Certain protections in California are described as providing guaranteed earnings based on active time and mileage, which can cushion low base offers compared with other states. This creates a clearer earnings floor in that market even when individual offers appear weak.
  • Healthcare Strength Corporate employee benefits are described as robust, including multiple medical plan options alongside dental and vision coverage. Company-paid therapy/coaching sessions and telehealth are also included as part of the healthcare offering.
