About the Opportunity

We are looking for a practical, versatile attorney to join our Product, Privacy and Regulatory Legal team. You will have a clear center of gravity in consumer protection and a flexible mandate across product counseling, privacy, regulatory matters, marketing, subscriptions, and international expansion.

This is not a narrow subject matter role. You might advise on a new consumer product flow one day, assess an advertising or subscription practice the next, and help respond to a regulator or customer escalation after that. You will work directly with Product, Engineering, Growth, Marketing, Support, Security, GRC, Policy, and Communications.

The right person can identify the legal issue quickly, learn the product deeply, and give the business a practical path forward. You will own matters independently and help turn recurring questions into clear guidance and durable systems. This role Reports to the Senior Director, Product, Privacy and Regulatory Legal.

What You Will Do

• Serve as a primary legal partner for consumer products and features from early design through launch and post-launch review

• Advise on consumer protection issues, including unfair and deceptive practices, disclosures, pricing, subscriptions, renewals, refunds, promotions, advertising claims, dark patterns, and customer support practices

• Review marketing, growth, and advertising initiatives, including adtech and martech integrations, audience practices, email and messaging campaigns, and product claims

• Counsel product and engineering teams on privacy, data use, consent, retention, security, AI transparency, age-related protections, and other legal requirements
