What are the responsibilities and job description for the Privacy Counsel (+ Business Development Duties) position at VeraSafe?
Due to rapid growth and increased demand for our international privacy and data protection compliance and legal services, VeraSafe is seeking a creative, motivated, and collaborative Business Development Specialist to join our team and support our Commerical department. This is a fully remote position and will remain a fully remote position. The ideal candidate will have a background and an interest in sales, privacy, data protection, and the future of legal services delivery.
About the Role :
The Business Development Specialist will play a key role in contributing to VeraSafe’s sales strategy across various markets. Given the nature of our services, we are particularly interested in candidates with substantial legal experience. Ideally, you have worked as an attorney and are now eager to leverage your expertise in a sales-driven role. In this position, you will play a crucial role in building new client relationships and contributing to the growth of our firm. Your legal experience will be key in understanding client needs and providing tailored solutions. As part of our small team, you'll be a critical player in driving sales efforts and helping us expand our presence in the privacy and technology compliance and legal sectors.
The role will have a significant focus on proposal writing related to privacy and data protection issues and will require attending sales calls and interacting with prospective clients. Additionally, you’ll be staffed as an attorney or consultant on some client privacy and data protection compliance projects.
This is a full-time role with a schedule centered around the U.S. East Coast time zone (GMT -5). While this is a remote position, the small size of our sales support staff makes this role such that your consistent availability throughout each workday is very much required.
