The area: Legal
Google Legal is a close-knit team of lawyers and legal professionals who operate on a truly global stage. We take pride in working for a company with a clear mission ("to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful") and a real soul ("don't be evil"). Google's innovative services raise challenging legal questions that demand creative and practical answers. We work at the crossroads of new technologies and existing laws to provide those answers, helping Google build innovative and important products for our users around the world. If this sounds like your kind of place, it probably is.
The role: Product Counsel
As Product Counsel responsible for Google's Digital Media initiatives, you'll develop and implement legal approaches and policies for our products, helping YouTube Product teams make decisions based on your sound legal judgment. Entrepreneurial by nature, you'll be responsible for a portfolio of products across many legal subject areas. These include privacy, security, content regulation, consumer protection and intellectual property. Working out of Google's corporate headquarters, you'll also support your colleagues in Legal, Government Relations and Corporate Communications on a range of product matters. Please note that you will not be deeply involved with patent or transactional issues, as these are handled by other Google lawyers. Essentially, you'll perform as the general counsel for an internal business unit, which functions very much like a rapidly growing startup business whose environment is dynamic and intense, with a minimal amount of hierarchy.
Responsibilities:
- Ensure compliance with U.S. laws and regulations dealing with intellectual property, telecommunications, content regulation, consumer protection and advertising.
- Provide legal advice to teams from Engineering, Product Management, Advertising Sales, Marketing and Communications from the initial stages of product development to launch.
- Develop and maintain a repository of legal resources that are required for products, such as terms of service, privacy notices and other disclosures.
- Respond promptly to a wide range of legal requests from Engineering, Product Management, Advertising Sales, Marketing, Client Services and other business groups.
Requirements:
- JD degree with excellent academic credentials from top law school; California Bar membership.
- At least 5 years of in-depth, related experience.
- Solid understanding of Internet architecture and operation.
- Demonstrated ability to complete several simultaneous projects on deadline.
- Exceptional interpersonal skills and a commitment to professionalism and collegiality.
- Flexibility and willingness to work on a broad range of legal matters.
- Superior English writing and oral communication skills.
- Willingness to travel.
