Canada Optable Technologies Inc. Full time

Optable - A World-Leading Privacy-Safe Advertising Technology Company
Optable is a leading Canadian, VC-backed, adtech company, revolutionizing the advertising industry with privacy-safe advertising SaaS services across North America and EMEA. Founded in 2020 by industry veterans, our mission is to restructure the advertising industry for a privacy-conscious era, ensuring publishers and media owners can grow their advertising revenues while equipping advertisers and agencies with the tools needed for efficient, privacy-safe campaigns.
The Role - Director of Legal Affairs and Privacy Compliance
As the Director of Legal Affairs and Privacy Compliance, you'll play a pivotal role in navigating the complex legal landscape of the advertising technology industry, especially as it undergoes significant shifts due to modern privacy regulations and technological advancements (e.g., the deprecation of third-party cookies and MAIDs). This is not just a role of strategic oversight; it demands a proactive, hands-on approach to legal challenges, directly involving all aspects of legal affairs, privacy, and compliance within the organization.
Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, you will lead the development and implementation of legal strategies, oversee compliance with privacy laws, and manage all aspects of corporate governance and contract management. This role requires close collaboration with senior leadership across the company to ensure legal alignment with business goals.

**Key Responsibilities**:

- Legal Strategy and Advisory: Develop and implement legal strategies that align with our mission and business objectives, providing legal advice to the COO and other senior leaders.
- Privacy and Compliance Leadership: Ensure compliance with privacy regulations across all operations, responding proactively to the evolving legal landscape of adtech. Oversee the company's privacy policies and practices, ensuring they meet or exceed regulatory requirements.
- Contract Management: Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with customers, partners, and vendors, ensuring legal and commercial risks are appropriately managed.
- Corporate Governance: Oversee all aspects of corporate governance, ensuring the company adheres to the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct.
- Legal Operations: Build and refine legal processes and operations to support the company's growth, including developing a plan for future legal team expansion.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Work closely with departments such as Sales, Product, and Engineering to provide legal support, ensuring integrated and compliant solutions for our customers.
- External Legal Liaison: Engage in effective coordination with both international and domestic legal service providers, specializing in corporate law and privacy issues, to ensure seamless legal operations and compliance across our global and local business landscapes.

**Qualifications**:

- 5+ years of legal experience in corporate law and privacy and compliance. Ideally with significant experience in adtech, SaaS, or related technology industries.
- Demonstrated expertise in privacy laws and contract law
- Hands-on, proactive approach to legal challenges with a strong problem-solving orientation.
- Proven ability to lead legal strategies and manage a diverse workload in a fast-paced environment
- Licensed to practice law in Canada
- Bilingualism (French, English) is a strong asset

**What We Offer**:

- A chance to be part of a dynamic team at the forefront of the privacy-safe advertising revolution.
- Competitive salary and benefits package, reflecting the importance and impact of the role within the industry.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development in a company that values innovation, creativity, and diversity.

Be part of Optable, where we’re not just adapting to the new era of privacy in advertising - we’re leading it. If you're ready to take on this challenge and make a significant impact, we want to hear from you.
