The role

The Paralegal (Privacy and Compliance) will be part of a dynamic Legal team, providing essential legal and compliance support for our growing operations in the USA.

As our Paralegal (Privacy and Compliance), you'll need a strong foundation in legal support. You'll possess exceptional organizational, research, and analytical skills, along with excellent written and verbal communication. We highly value a collaborative approach and the ability to adapt to different situations. Your excellent attention to detail will be crucial for ensuring accuracy in legal documents and compliance work.

We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you’re the right person for the job, we’ll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you’ll be working with an exceptional team.

Responsibilities

  • Assist with US school district vendor assessment questionnaires.
  • Support the evaluation and implementation of Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) including the National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA) for US school districts.
  • Support the implementation and use of data privacy and security compliance tools (e.g. Drata).
  • Draft and review US commercial contracts and agreements.
  • Conduct US legal research, in particular laws and regulations relating to student data privacy (e.g., FERPA, COPPA).
  • Track developments in US data protection law and advise the legal team on impacts.
  • Ensure compliance with US non-profit registration and reporting requirements.
  • Manage DPIAs for the Foundation’s US operations, using the OneTrust platform.
  • Develop and maintain US-specific legal templates and guidance.
  • Provide general administrative support to the legal team.

Experience and personal attributes

We recognise that everyone has the potential for growth, and we welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate that they have some, but not all, of the experience and personal attributes listed here.

  • Demonstrable experience working in a legal setting, with exposure to US data security and privacy compliance.
  • Understanding of US student data privacy requirements (e.g., FERPA, COPPA) and vendor assessment processes is highly desirable.

View company profile

The Raspberry Pi Foundation's journey began in 2008, born out of a concern shared by a group at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. They noticed a decline in the number and skill levels of students applying for computer science courses. Their vision was to reignite the passion for computing and digital creation among young people. This led to the formal establishment of the Raspberry Pi Foundation as a UK-based educational charity in May 2009. The co-founders, including Eben Upton, Rob Mullins, Jack Lang, Alan Mycroft, David Braben, and Pete Lomas, aimed to create a low-cost, programmable computer that could make learning about technology accessible and exciting, reminiscent of the early days of personal computing with platforms like the BBC Micro. Their idea was to strip away the complexity of modern PCs and provide a hands-on experience with the inner workings of a computer system.

The first Raspberry Pi computer, the Model B, launched in February 2012, and its success was immediate and overwhelming, far exceeding the founders' initial expectations. This rapid growth necessitated a new structure. In early 2013, the organization was split into two parts: the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which continues to focus on charitable and educational activities, and Raspberry Pi (Trading) Ltd., a commercial subsidiary responsible for the engineering, manufacturing, and distribution of Raspberry Pi computers and related technologies. The profits generated by Raspberry Pi (Trading) Ltd. are funneled back to the Foundation to fund its educational mission. Over the years, the Foundation has expanded its reach and impact significantly. It has developed a wide range of free educational resources, supports a global network of coding clubs like Code Club and CoderDojo (which merged with the Foundation in 2015 and 2017, respectively), and provides training for educators. The Foundation's work now extends to numerous countries, with a commitment to reaching young people from all backgrounds, particularly those traditionally underrepresented in technology. Their core mission remains to empower young people worldwide to realize their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies.
