Welcome to Canva, the world's leading design platform.
We are a global company with offices in Sydney and San Francisco, and we offer flexible working arrangements so our team members can choose what works best for them.
This role is focused on being a Senior Legal Counsel within the Product and Privacy team. As part of this team, you will provide product counselling for our GenAI Supergroup and AI projects in our Design Experience group.
Specifically, you will:
* Lead product counselling for our GenAI Supergroup and AI projects in our Design Experience group.
* Support our AI governance initiatives, working closely with an AI governance focussed lawyer on training and resources to empower our AI teams to deliver great products safely and efficiently.
* Deliver impactful goals, remove blockers for the business and facilitate escalations to leadership of key risks.
* Support Canva's mission to become the most trusted platform by keeping the team accountable for their goals that reduce risk.
* Provide regular training, FAQs, cheat sheets, process documents and guardrails for AI product and engineering teams.
* Monitor and report on the AI landscape - both regulatory and industry practices.
* Contribute to the product, AI and privacy risk registers.
* Support our Canvanauts (and leadership) in sales and marketing, many of whom are based in San Francisco.
You will be a match for this role if you have hands-on experience advising AI and product launches at a rapidly growing global technology company. You should also have deep expertise in the EU AI Act, privacy and intellectual property risks of AI, as well as a pragmatic approach to risk based on likelihood, consequences and balancing non-legal risks.
A certified Information Privacy Professional or AI Governance Professional is highly regarded, but not required. We encourage async communication, but Zoom calls out of business hours will be required to connect with the teams you support and collaborate with.
