State Farm Mutual is offering an opportunity to join our Privacy and Information Security Unit (PISU) within our Corporate Law Department.

Attorneys in this unit provide legal advice on federal and state privacy and information security requirements, enterprise risk management, and the compliance and ethics program. Lawyers also advise on other programs including information retention, crisis management, AML/OFAC, and business continuity along with general technology-related legal matters. These practice areas evolve rapidly due to changes in law, technology, and business objectives and efforts. PISU lawyers collaborate closely with each other, peers in other legal practice groups, and with business leaders throughout the enterprise.
Located in Bloomington, IL, this position is classified as a hybrid role, meaning that the work arrangement calls for hours in the office and virtually. Everyone in a hybrid role is required to spend significant time in the office. Work arrangements could change over time based on business needs.
