Senior Counsel, Product & Privacy

Title: Senior Counsel, Product & Privacy Location: United States

The Team

Stability AI’s Legal team works on exciting cutting edge questions of law.  You’ll join Legal as the main legal partner to our product, research, and engineering organizations. Day to day, you’ll work with product managers, engineers, researchers, release management, security and infosec, and our commercial team on products across audio, image, video, and 3D. We’re building toward a consistent, documented legal review for every data and product release, and a privacy program that keeps up with a growing global business.

The Work

• Lead product and privacy counseling for multiple generative AI product teams. You’ll learn our models, products, and development processes well enough to spot legal, security, and ethical risks early and recommend practical ways to handle them.
• Build and run the policies, processes, and documentation that govern data and product releases. You’ll work with product, engineering, release management, and security.
• Advance our global privacy and data security compliance program, and partner with infosec on incident response and data security practices.
• Advise on copyright across the model lifecycle: licensing and use of training datasets, rights in generative output, and content-hosting obligations such as the DMCA and Article 17 of the EU Copyright Directive.
• Track global AI regulation, such as the EU AI Act, and help product teams put ethics and safety initiatives into practice. You’ll also guide compliance with trade rules, including US export controls and the Trade Agreements Act.
• Equip the commercial team to understand our technology, licensing frameworks, and IP strategy so they can answer customer questions with confidence.

At Stability AI, we aim to pay fairly and competitively, and we believe you should know what a role pays before you invest time in getting to know us. The annual base salary range for this role is $200,000 - $270,000 USD. It reflects our good-faith expectation for the role as posted and applies to candidates hired within the United States.

Where you fall within that range depends on the depth and relevance of your experience, your skills, and how you perform in our interview process. Because great candidates don’t always map neatly to a single level, we may also consider someone for a level above or below the one posted. If we do, the range will be adjusted to match, and we’ll talk it through with you openly.

Base salary is also just one part of your total compensation. Eligible employees take part in our equity program and receive the benefits described above. We’d rather talk about all of this early than leave you guessing, so your recruiter is happy to walk you through the range, how offers come together, and anything else that matters to you, at any point in the process.
