3. Drive high-profile and high-impact projects involving privacy analysis and compliance with cross-functional stakeholders across Facebook's business, policy, legal, communications, security, and other departments
4. Support members of the legal, business, and policy teams on privacy and security-related legal matters, including areas related to partnerships, acquisitions, integrations, and other business development opportunities
5. Develop global regulatory strategy in connection with new product features and initiatives and maintain Facebook's ongoing privacy-by-design processes
6. Manage internal privacy compliance programs and processes to ensure we meet our obligations under those programs
7. Help to develop and conduct role-specific privacy trainings
**Minimum Qualifications:**
8. J.D. degree (or foreign equivalent) and membership in at least one US state bar
9. 5+ years of legal experience, including at a law firm and/or in-house or government experience
