Drive responsible innovation across Coveo

Coveo is seeking a privacy and compliance professional to join its Privacy, Intellectual Property (IP) and Legal Compliance team. In this role, you'll help a fast-growing AI company stay ahead of evolving privacy and responsible AI requirements by guiding corporate teams through complex regulatory questions and embedding trust and compliance into daily operations. You'll be part of a small, collaborative function where your expertise will directly influence how Coveo protects data, assesses risk, and operationalizes privacy and AI governance across the organization.

We're looking for a pragmatic, adaptable thinker who enjoys solving complex issues and offering grounded, business-oriented guidance, not just applying the letter of the law. You thrive in ambiguity, stay composed in a rapidly changing environment, and excel at translating complex regulatory concepts into clear, actionable direction for teams across the company.

As our Senior Legal Counsel, Privacy & Compliance, your responsibilities will include:
  • Advise cross-functional stakeholders (HR, IT, Security, Marketing, GTM, Finance, Support) on privacy, responsible AI, and related regulatory risks, serving as a trusted partner able to simplify complex issues and provide clear, business-oriented guidance.
  • Operationalize, and enhance Coveo's privacy and responsible AI programs, including vendor due diligence, internal audits, privacy notices, policies and processes, risk documentation and internal audits.
  • Develop and deliver internal training and awareness initiatives to help corporate teams mature their understanding of privacy and responsible AI. 
  • Support the Legal commercial and Procurement teams with privacy or AI-related inquiries, vendor privacy reviews (e.g. DPAs, security documentation), and internal contract guidance as needed.
Here is what will qualify you for the role:
  • Over 5 years of experience in privacy, data protection and/or AI governance.
  • Bachelor of Laws (L.L.B.) or Juris Doctor (J.D.) or equivalent law degree and eligibility to practice law where located. 
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to break down and operationalize complex privacy or AI regulatory questions. 
What would make you stand out:
  • In-house experience in a SaaS or AI-driven company.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively and build trust with diverse cross-functional teams.
  • Experience applying privacy-by-design principles, especially in technical environments. 
  • CIPP certification preferred.

Do you think you can bring this role to life? Or add your own color? You don't need to check every single box; passion goes a long way and we appreciate that skillsets are transferable.
