Description:

We're looking for a seasoned Principal Counsel to join the Product & Tech Legal Team as part of the Consumer Product Group. This role reports to the Senior Director, Product & Tech Legal (Consumer) and is based in Los Gatos.

To entertain the world is no small task, so we rely on really smart people who know a lot about how technology and data can create great content and high-quality member experiences globally.

We drive strategic, effective collaboration with cross-functional and regional legal partners and think critically about how we can keep scaling the impact of our team.

As Principal Counsel, you are passionate about helping our business partners discern a practical real-world risk from a theoretical one. You have the diplomatic skills to unite people together and guide them through impasses by fostering confidence. You thrive in a loosely-coupled world where thoughtfulness and creativity govern, not rule.

Coordinating with stakeholder partners (including cross-functional, cross-regional, and specialist teams) to share context on product and legal strategy, ensuring we are supporting stakeholder needs effectively
Becoming an expert on our consumer product to help ensure we remain helpful thought partners and advance business objectives
Helping to scale our team and legal organization by developing innovative processes to support the above

Requirements:

7+ years of experience in product legal roles, working directly with product managers, engineers, and designers to provide practical and risk-calibrated legal guidance
Deep experience counseling on consumer protection, privacy, IP, marketing and other issues
