Job descriptionMake Magic : You're making magic when you dream big, sweat the details, make the complex look elegant, and the final result is one that puts a smile on everyone's face. People are drawn to working with you and your work. Rise to the Moment : You're rising to the moment when you show up, answer the call, make the extra effort, and appreciate the fact that we are working with the coolest technology, in the biggest space it'll impact, and we're in pole position. Connect the Dots : You've done the work to prioritize, understand, and tie your work to your team, to students, and to the people who support them. You're driving tangible outcomes and can connect your work to meaningful, tangible business results and goals. You're connecting the dots when you've thought deeply and have a throughline narrative for your work. Make High Leverage Bets : Always consider the board in front of you – using data, instinct, honed expertise, and user problems to pick the best move and maximize the impact of every resource.

Lead Data Privacy and Compliance : Oversee compliance with FERPA, COPPA, and state-specific student privacy laws, as well as international frameworks such as GDPR. Navigate AI-Related Legal and Regulatory Topics : Stay ahead of evolving domestic and international laws governing artificial intelligence, data use, and algorithmic accountability. Partner with product and engineering to ensure responsible innovation and ethical use of AI in education. Manage Intellectual Property : Safeguard SchoolAI's IP portfolio, including trademarks, copyrights, and software IP. Support Corporate Governance : Partner with Finance and the executive team on board matters, equity, and investor relations. Collaborate Cross-Functionally : Advise People, Product, and Engineering teams to balance innovation with legal integrity. Build Scalable Systems : Develop contract templates, playbooks, and scalable legal processes to support growth. Engage and Manage Outside Counsel : Retain specialized law firms for complex or high-risk matters (e.g., data privacy, AI regulation). Be a Trusted Partner : Offer practical, business-oriented counsel that helps teams move quickly while managing risk effectively. J.D. and active license to practice law in the United States. 8–12+ years of legal experience, including time at a law firm and in-house at a tech company (SaaS or edtech preferred). Deep expertise in education-related compliance and data privacy laws and frameworks, including FERPA, COPPA, GDPR, and state-specific laws. Strong background in SaaS contracting and intellectual property management. Demonstrated curiosity and commitment to staying current on emerging AI laws, regulations, and ethical standards both in the U.S. and internationally. Proven ability to balance risk and speed, using legal insight to accelerate rather than obstruct business progress. Comfortable operating as the sole legal leader in a startup willing to handle both strategic and hands-on work. Exceptional communicator and collaborator who can partner effectively with leadership and teams across disciplines. Genuine passion for improving education and a belief in technology's potential to empower teachers and students. Competitive compensation Stock options to share in our success. Health and dental insurance. Generous PTO for balance and rest. A passionate, supportive team and the chance to transform K12 education with AI.
