Senior Legal Counsel (AI and Technology)

The Role

What You’ll Own

• Act as a day-to-day product partner to AI, Data, and Engineering teams, contributing directly to product design and decision-making
• Translate legal and regulatory requirements into clear product and engineering constraints that can be implemented in real systems
• Build and operationalize AI governance frameworks that enable rapid experimentation while managing risk (not slowing it down)
• Lead compliance readiness for emerging AI regulations (including the EU AI Act) in a way that is practical, scalable, and product-aligned
• Advise on AI system design decisions including model usage, training data, outputs, and user-facing functionality
• Own legal strategy for AI-related IP, including generated content, training data, and third-party model integrations
• Partner with Engineering and Data to implement privacy-by-design and safety-by-design patterns
• Draft and negotiate technology, data, and vendor agreements, with a strong bias toward enabling product velocity
• Continuously monitor the AI regulatory landscape and translate developments into actionable product guidance, not theoretical summaries
• Build lightweight, usable legal processes that integrate into existing product workflows (PRDs, launch reviews, experimentation cycles)

• Strong business operator who happens to be a lawyer. You prioritize outcomes over theory
• 7–10 years Post Qualification Experience with meaningful in-house or product counseling experience in a tech environment

• Comfortable operating at a technical depth with Product and Engineering teams. You can engage in discussions about how systems actually work
• Demonstrated ability to convert complex legal requirements into simple, executable guidance
• High ownership and autonomy. You make decisions and move work forward without waiting for perfect information
• Experience working in fast-paced environments where speed and judgment both matter
