  • Working knowledge of GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA frameworks, plus AI/technology regulatory matters and basic employment law.
  • Ability to understand AI, data center, and cloud infrastructure concepts well enough to translate them into legal language.
  • Ability to operate independently without a legal team at the start and provide clear, actionable guidance in an evolving environment.
  • Preferred: prior in-house experience at a technology, AI, data center, or deep tech company.
  • Preferred: familiarity with NVIDIA's product ecosystem, hyperscaler contracting, or GPU infrastructure agreements.
  • Preferred: experience with real estate transactions at a university or state-affiliated campus such as Texas A&M, UT System, or similar.
