📋 Description

• Own the company’s global disputes portfolio end to end — from early assessment and pre-litigation strategy through resolution — including commercial, employment, intellectual property, and non-practicing entity matters. • Lead the company’s response to government and regulatory inquiries, including regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, subpoenas, preservation and takedown demands, escalated privacy complaints, and requests from domestic and international law enforcement. • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Sales, Security, Finance, and People to identify potential disputes early and provide practical recommendations that balance legal exposure with business objectives. • Advise the People team on employment matters and dispute avoidance, and support the commercial team when claims or threats surface in negotiations and customer escalations. • Counsel executives and, where appropriate, the Board on litigation risk, risk tolerance, and emerging legal and regulatory developments. • Select and manage outside counsel across multiple jurisdictions, and build the scalable processes, playbooks, and legal hold and discovery practices that support a high-growth global business.

🎯 Requirements

• Approximately 6–10 years of litigation or disputes experience at a leading law firm, an in-house legal department, or a combination of both. • Experience managing complex commercial disputes independently, from early case assessment through resolution. • Demonstrated success managing outside counsel, litigation budgets, discovery, legal holds, and eDiscovery. • Sound judgment, strong ownership, and the ability to navigate ambiguity while delivering practical solutions that help the business scale responsibly. • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, and the ability to distill complex legal issues into practical business advice. • Composure and credibility in high-pressure situations, including direct interaction with law enforcement, regulators, and opposing counsel. • Ability to quickly learn adjacent practice areas and manage multiple high-priority matters in a fast-paced environment. • Exposure to employment disputes, internal investigations, or government and regulatory inquiries is a plus. • In-house experience supporting enterprise software, cloud services, data centers, artificial intelligence, or cybersecurity is a plus. • J.D. and active bar admission required. A mix of law firm and in-house experience preferred.
