The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education to addressing the needs of our local communities. Our mission is to build a more inclusive, just, and healthy future for everyone.
The Team
Across our work in Science, Education, and within our communities, we pair technology with grantmaking, impact investing, and collaboration to help accelerate the pace of progress toward our mission. Our Central team provides the support needed to push this work forward.
The Central team at CZI consists of our Finance, People & DEI, Real Estate, Events, Workplace, Facilities, Security, Brand & Communications, Business Systems, Central Operations, Strategic Initiatives, and Ventures teams. These teams provide strategic support and operational excellence across the board at CZI.
The Product, Privacy and Intellectual Property (PPIP) Team, a critical part of CZI’s Legal and Grants Management team, is composed of attorneys and legal compliance professionals who provide day-to-day counsel to teams across CZI on intellectual property (IP), technology, and data privacy matters. We also partner closely with scientists and researchers across the CZ Science ecosystem, including the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network, to support their work to build the future of science by advancing biomedical research and leveraging advances in artificial intelligence (AI). This AI work includes, for example, building one of the most powerful high-performance AI computing systems for nonprofit life science research in the world.
The Opportunity
As the Senior Counsel of Intellectual Property and Technology, you will be a senior member of the PPIP Team and play a key role in developing and executing the IP and technology strategies for CZI and the Biohub Network, including strategies around technology transactions, AI and licensing. You will manage and lead negotiations to help us establish key collaborations and partnerships with universities, research institutions, and commercial companies. You will also help mentor and develop more junior members on the team.
