[Hiring] Senior Counsel, Product Regulated Verticals @Docusign

Role Description

We are looking for an experienced product lawyer to own the legal and regulatory thesis for Docusign's regulated verticals, and to be the subject matter expert the rest of Product, Engineering, and Product legal draws on when a vertical regulation is the deciding issue on a launch.

• Own the verticals thesis and requirements.
• Define what regulatory defensibility means for the agreement record in Real Estate, Health and Life Sciences, and Financial Services, and translate it into product and engineering requirements at design and roadmap stage rather than launch review.
• Be the subject matter expert for Product legal and own the vertical regulatory depth behind them.
• Build the reusable positions, answer library, and interpretation guidance on recurring questions (21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, GLBA, SEC and FINRA recordkeeping, PCI DSS, NACHA).
• Partner directly on launches where a vertical regulation drives the outcome, and keep the team current as those regimes move.
• Keep commitments and capability aligned and assess whether the compliance commitments Docusign makes are actually deliverable in the product as built.
• Define compensating controls where they are not, and maintain the inventory of commitments measured against real capability.
• Partner with commercial legal, privacy, and AI governance on commitments raised in customer deals.
• Run a light intake so routine compliance questions route themselves rather than queueing behind you.

Qualifications

• Law degree from an accredited law school.
• Admitted to practice and in good standing in at least one US jurisdiction.
• 8+ years of law firm and/or in-house experience.
• Experience advising product and engineering teams directly in a regulated technology environment.
• Experience translating regulatory requirements into product and engineering requirements that shipped.
• Experience in at least one regulated vertical: health and life sciences, financial services, or payments.
• Experience serving as an internal expert other lawyers rely on.
• Experience advising on or approving customer-facing compliance representations.

Requirements

• Experience with electronic signature and transaction law, such as ESIGN, UETA, or eIDAS.
• Experience in one or more of 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, GLBA, SEC or FINRA recordkeeping, PCI DSS, or NACHA standards.
• Experience with AI or AI governance.
• Experience building a knowledge base or answer library that other lawyers actually used.
• Experience solving hard problems with a close-knit team.

Benefits

• Paid Time Off: earned time off, as well as paid company holidays based on region.
• Paid Parental Leave: take up to six months off with your child after birth, adoption or foster care placement.
• Full Health Benefits Plans: options for 100% employer paid and minimum employee contribution health plans from day one of employment.
• Retirement Plans: select retirement and pension programs with potential for employer contributions.
• Learning and Development: options for coaching, online courses and education reimbursements.
• Compassionate Care Leave: paid time off following the loss of a loved one and other life-changing events.
