About the role

  • Provide strategic legal counsel on international expansion, entity and market‑entry pathways, compliance, and risk considerations for operations in new and existing jurisdictions.
  • Advise on global privacy and data protection requirements, including cross‑border data transfers and localized requirements including on user terms, notices, privacy impact assessments, vendor contracts, and consent approaches.
  • Help harmonize regional requirements into global standards with pragmatic country‑level deviations that facilitate the ability to quickly expand into new jurisdictions.
  • Partner with Regulatory Affairs and Product to align on regulatory pathways and compliance considerations for new features and markets.
  • Build, maintain, and socialize scalable legal templates, guardrails, and playbooks that streamline international launches and reduce cycle time.
  • Manage multi-jurisdictional launches, including coordinating with outside counsel across regions and consolidating country-specific advice into clear, actionable guidance that can be communicated with and operationalized by internal technical and non-legal stakeholders.
  • Serve as a primary point of contact and lead for regulatory authority inquiries, enforcement matters, risk-related considerations, and policy interpretation; coordinate strategy and communications with outside counsel as needed.
  • Advise on advertising and promotional compliance, substantiation requirements, and labelling considerations to ensure alignment with regulatory clearances and applicable consumer protection laws.
  • Provide counsel on global trade compliance for product and data flows, including export controls (EAR/ITAR), sanctions/embargoes, customs/import classification (HTS), ECCN and dual‑use analysis, restricted‑party screening, and distributor/partner diligence.
  • Support the design, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of policies, training, and controls to support prompt cross‑border launches and supply chain resilience.
  • Drive legal program enablement by helping to develop simple intake, triage, and review lanes; clear escalation paths; and metrics that demonstrate business enablement, internal compliance, and risk management.

Requirements

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) and good standing with at least one U.S. state bar (or international equivalent in a common law jurisdiction).
  • 10+ years of relevant legal experience, including advising on international expansion and global privacy and/or product regulatory matters.
  • Demonstrated ability to counsel cross‑functional teams (Product, Regulatory, Marketing, Sales, Engineering, Operations) in a fast‑paced environment with pragmatic, business‑forward guidance.
  • Strong working knowledge of major global privacy frameworks and cross‑border transfer mechanisms, and familiarity with international consumer and marketing law considerations. Comfort translating complex, multi‑regional rules into actionable, product‑ready requirements.
  • Experience building scalable legal processes (templates, playbooks, SLAs), communicating with regulators, and managing outside counsel across regions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; capable of simplifying complexity for executive and non‑legal audiences.
