The projects you'll coordinate will primarily be privacy and data security compliance projects, and your team members will largely be privacy attorneys and other infosec professionals. Above all, this role demands excellent writing and note taking skills, technical facility, interest in infosec and data protection, fast typing skills, organizational abilities, attention to detail, and communication skills. We are particularly interested in candidates looking to grow into a project manager role with a tech or infosec background or interest. Experience with Agile or other project management methodology is a plus but not required.We have always been and will continue to be a remote team. We collaborate closely (you won't feel like you're working in isolation) and you'll learn from our experienced attorneys, project managers, and IT security auditors, but in a much more collaborative and friendly environment than your typical large law firm. We think using project management methodology in a legal setting is a no-brainer, though we are fairly unique in doing so, and we're always looking for ways to improve what we do, including how we utilize our project management team. We'd look to you, as we do all our team members, to think creatively about ways to improve the efficiency and excellence of the work product we deliver to clients. Finally, but very importantly, we pride ourselves on recognizing that our team members also have lives outside of work, and prioritize no-work weekends and work-life balance generally. If you love working with new technology, interesting clients and team members, you want to work in a fast-paced and remote environment, and you're interested in tech, cybersecurity, and privacy, this may be the perfect job for you.
