About the role

As chemists ourselves, we know what it's like when software doesn't work the way you do - stuck with systems built by people who never spent a day at the bench.
Advise on governing law strategy and cross-border contracting nuances across our key markets (US, EU, Japan).
Advise on AI-related contracting issues including data usage rights, model training restrictions, and output ownership.

Own our standard contract forms and keep them current as the product, regulatory environment, and deal structures evolve.
Support procurement contracting on the vendor side - SaaS, professional services, and infrastructure agreements.
Data privacy & AI compliance Serve as day-to-day privacy counsel: maintain our GDPR, CCPA, and cross-border data transfer compliance posture, including SCCs and transfer impact assessments.
Support compliance efforts under the EU AI Act and sector-specific requirements relevant to our partners' regulated workflows.
Partner with engineering and product on privacy-by-design reviews for new features.
IP & technology licensing Manage Albert's IP strategy: prosecution coordination with outside counsel, freedom-to-operate analysis, and competitor monitoring.
Support our global mobility function on work authorization and immigration matters for key hires.
Corporate & Operations Support corporate governance across our four-entity structure (US, Germany, Japan, India): board consents, subsidiary maintenance, and corporate records.
Own relationships with outside counsel: scope work thoughtfully, manage costs, and consolidate where it makes sense.
Build and improve legal ops infrastructure - contract management, intake workflows, template libraries, and playbooks.

Comfort with ambiguity: you can issue-spot, make a call, and move-without waiting for perfect information.

Experience with regulated industries (life sciences, chemicals, manufacturing, or similar).
Familiarity with CFIUS, export controls (EAR/ITAR), or government contracting considerations in the context of technology companies.
International contracting experience-particularly Germany, Japan, or India.
Prior involvement in Series B or later financing rounds, or M&A transactions.
Immigration law background or hands-on experience supporting work visa processes.
Key Competencies Autonomy: Does not wait to be asked.
Builder mindset: Has worked in environments without a playbook and made something from nothing.
Energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it.

Employment & people Advise HR and management on employment matters across US jurisdictions - offer letters, PIIAs, equity arrangements, performance and separation issues.
Partner on equity plan administration and employee benefits questions as we scale.

Persistent, resilient, and genuinely invested in outcomes.
Does not mistake movement for progress.
We have a huge impact.
Albert is a growing team with a global reach.
We're building toward a future where discovery feels like exploration, not administration.
Where chemists can pursue their most ambitious ideas without friction.
We love our global team.
Albert's home-base is in the California
