Senior Legal Counsel, Data & Privacy at Kit

About Kit

Kit is the email marketing platform experts choose to grow their audience, deepen their relationships, and build a business around the work they love. For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there is not a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products, all within one platform.

We are on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote. We are proud to have built a product that our customers love, and we look for people who have enthusiasm and belief in our mission, vision, and values to join our team. We are also embracing AI thoughtfully, both in how we build and how we hire, to ensure our team is adaptable, innovative, and ready for what is next.

The Role

Kit is growing, and so are the legal complexities of our business. We are looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to help us navigate them with clarity, speed, and commercial savvy. You will serve as in-house legal subject matter expert, partnering closely with the executive team to lead product legal strategy and execution, especially around privacy, data, AI and compliance, commercial contracts, customer security requirements, and scalable legal support for our teams.

A key focus will be helping Kit respond to a growing volume of privacy questions, particularly as one of our newer products, Subscriber Signals, evolves, by building practical, repeatable systems that provide timely and consistent guidance at scale. You will help shape the legal backbone of a fast moving tech company with multiple revenue streams, including SaaS, digital commerce, paid recommendations, and advertising, and a rapidly growing platform for creators.

To advise the business effectively, you will develop a deep understanding of Kit, SparkLoop, Subscriber Signals, and how creators get value from our connected ecosystem of apps and tools. You will be at the center of complex, cross functional problems where product, business, and legal strategy meet, all in service of helping creators build more valuable businesses.

Your Support System

You will report to our Chief Operating Officer, Brian Bevel, and partner regularly with leaders across product, sales, finance, and people operations. You will own our core legal work in house, reduce the need for outside counsel, and know when specialized outside counsel is truly needed.

What You Will Do

• First week: Get up to speed on our business model, current goals, and products. Learn about the product, SparkLoop, Subscriber Signals, and how creators get value from our connected ecosystem of apps and tools. Meet key internal stakeholders and our external counsel. Review our most common legal agreements, privacy questions, and customer security requests to assess where we have risk, opportunity, ambiguity, or recurring work that can be handled more efficiently.
• First month: Get your arms around active data processing, privacy, AI, and other legal initiatives, and build a what is on deck view of upcoming legal needs. Map the recurring privacy support questions arising across Kit, particularly around Subscriber Signals, and begin designing a scalable intake, guidance, and escalation system. Partner with Sales, Sponsorships, Security, Product, and Engineering to move faster without cutting corners. Take ownership of GDPR and data compliance vetting and establish a clear process for responding to customer security questionnaires.
• First six months: You are the go to partner for legal considerations across the business, particularly for our product, engineering, security, and GTM teams. Build scalable systems, such as playbooks, templates, intake processes, and self service guidance, for answering recurring privacy, data use, and compliance questions. Partner throughout the product lifecycle on initiatives and feature releases, with particular attention to Subscriber Signals and our connected ecosystem of products. Prioritize our biggest legal risks, reduce unnecessary reliance on outside counsel, and streamline legal workflows to increase speed, confidence, and self service.
• First year: Help Kit operate at a higher level of legal maturity across privacy, compliance, product counsel, commercial contracts, and security support. Establish durable systems that allow teams to answer common questions independently while escalating higher risk matters appropriately. Help us treat privacy, data, and compliance as strategic enablers, not just boxes to check, and significantly reduce our reliance on outside counsel for work we can handle effectively in house.
