Overview

The organization is hiring a Corporate Counsel, Product Privacy to support high-impact privacy work across consumer and business product areas, including tax privacy and key product areas such as Money, Mid-Market, and Intuit Services.

This role provides product-forward privacy counseling to help teams design and launch customer experiences that are transparent, intuitive, and compliant—while protecting customer trust.

Responsibilities

• Provide practical, product-focused counseling to teams building consumer and business experiences across tax, money, mid-market, and Intuit Services.
• Embed privacy into product development by partnering with Product, Design, Engineering, Data Science/Analytics, Security, and Marketing from early concept through launch.
• Advise on privacy-by-design controls including data minimization, purpose limitation, transparency, and customer choice.
• Support privacy requirements tied to tax and financial data handling, including advising on tax return information confidentiality (e.g., IRC 7216 and related rules) and related internal governance expectations.
• Help teams navigate privacy implications of sensitive data, identity verification, and customer support/service journeys that touch regulated datasets.
• Counsel on customer-facing disclosures and UX patterns (e.g., just-in-time notices, consent flows, preference centers, permissioning, and in-product education) to ensure experiences are clear, consistent, and defensible, and to reduce “dark pattern” risk.
• Conduct and document privacy impact assessments and provide launch guidance, including risk framing, mitigations, and durable decision records.
• Support data sharing and ecosystem questions (first/third-party, vendors, partners, internal platform services), including governance and contractual expectations (in partnership with commercial counsel as needed).
• Build and improve scalable tools—templates, playbooks, intake paths, and training—to help product teams move faster with confidence.
• Establish strong working relationships with key stakeholders and drive alignment across competing points of view to reach practical outcomes.
• Contribute to internal communication of the Privacy Team’s mission and vision to partners and stakeholders.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of relevant legal experience (in-house and/or at a law firm).
• Strong working knowledge of relevant data privacy laws in the US (e.g., CCPA/CPRA, other state privacy laws, GLBA, etc.).
• Ability to coordinate cross-functionally, and with outside counsel in domestic and international markets, on issues related to data privacy, product design and functionality, transactional issues, and other technology initiatives.
• Proven ability to translate complex legal requirements into forward-looking and actionable policies, frameworks, and guidelines.
• Ability to engage in and document detailed analysis of data-driven products to understand and assess privacy and other legal risks.
• A learning mindset and comfort operating in the gray.
• Ability to communicate with business partners about regulatory obligations, risk management processes, and drive change.
• Concise and efficient communicator.
• JD and membership in good standing with at least one US State Bar.
