Senior Legal Counsel (Max Term Contract - 1 year)

at  Linktree

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Be qualified to practise law in Australia – any other additional jurisdictions (UK, USA) would be highly beneficial
• Have at least 8 years of strong experience, with an emphasis on product and privacy law (including ideally some consumer law experience)
• Be able to overlap some working hours with the United States west coast (Pacific Standard Time)
• Have great attention to detail and organisational skills to manage numerous initiatives at once
• Be a self-starter
• Have strong business acumen - this is an entrepreneurial start-up, where you’ll be expected to weigh risks and come at problems from a commercial angle
• Have great communication skills - your job is to make the complex simple; and
• Be comfortable with ambiguity, a fast-paced culture, and have a practical, solutions-oriented focus

This role would be suited to someone who is passionate about joining a rocket ship start-up in the technology and creator space, and who thrives on acting as a true business partner, advising on a diverse range of cutting edge legal issues.
You’ll need to have experience advising on innovative products and legal issues for an international technology company, with a detailed understanding of privacy laws (particularly GDPR).

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Reviewing new products, and advising on necessary changes
• Advising on privacy laws, notably GDPR and potentially CCPA
• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements
