Wikimedia Foundation
Summary Wikimedia envisions a world where the sum total of human knowledge is available to everyone. The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit home of Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and other free educational projects, serves as the hub of a global movement of hundreds of thousands of contributors collaborating to collect and share the sum of all human knowledge with the world. As Wikimedia pursues a new global strategic direction, our Legal department is tasked with solving many legal questions, including some that no one has fully considered before. We are looking for a privacy-focused lawyer to join our in-house legal department as Privacy Fellow. The Privacy Fellow will provide research and drafting on a variety of topics, as well as gain experience in product counseling, data governance, and privacy-related public policy work.

Skills and Experience: - Graduate degree in law, public policy, or related fields and excellent academic credentials. (Equivalent experience will be considered.) - Ability to work in English. - Experience working across borders, on matters in non-U.S. jurisdictions, or for clients outside the U.S.. - Deep understanding of privacy and other internet law issues. - Experience with large and comprehensive research projects, especially on legal topics. - Ability to adhere to deadlines, and complete work independently. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail. - Experience working with a remote team. Please note, this role may call for travel, including internationally, and for travel or work on weekends if and when needed, due to conferences, legal needs, etc. This is not a requirement, and alternate arrangements may be made where appropriate. Qualities that are important to us: - Appreciation for and alignment with Wikimedia’s mission. - Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills and ability to work well on a team. - A desire to learn, stretch, and grow. Additionally, we’d love it if you have: - Fluency in a language other than English. - Licensed to practice law in the United States or another jurisdiction globally. - Training, knowledge, or experience with global data privacy law. - Experience working internationally, for international clients, or on international law. - Experience with public policy or government relations. - Experience with open source, free culture, free software, or online communities. - Experience with wikis or Wikimedia projects. - Experience working in the technology or nonprofit sector.
