This role is central to operationalizing scalable governance frameworks and enabling compliant market entry and product launches.
Key Responsibilities:
- Provide strategic legal counsel on international expansion, entity structures, market-entry pathways, and compliance/risk considerations for new and existing jurisdictions.
- Advise on global privacy and data protection requirements, including cross-border data transfers, localized user terms, privacy notices, impact assessments, vendor contracts, and consent approaches.
- Harmonize regional requirements into global standards with pragmatic country-level deviations to accelerate jurisdiction expansion.
- Partner with Regulatory Affairs and Product teams to align on regulatory pathways and compliance for new features and markets.
- Build and maintain scalable legal templates, guardrails, and playbooks to streamline international launches and reduce cycle time.
- Operationalize multi-jurisdictional launches by coordinating with outside counsel across regions and translating country-specific advice into clear, actionable guidance for internal technical and non-legal stakeholders.
- Support responses to regulatory inquiries, enforcement matters, and policy interpretation; coordinate strategy and communications with outside counsel.
- Advise on advertising, promotional compliance, substantiation requirements, and labeling to ensure alignment with regulatory clearances and consumer protection laws.
- Provide counsel on global trade compliance for product and data flows, including export controls (EAR/ITAR), sanctions/embargoes, customs classification (HTS), ECCN and dual-use analysis, restricted-party screening, and partner diligence.
- Implement and maintain policies, training, and controls to support cross-border launches and supply chain resilience.
- Support legal program enablement by developing intake, triage, and review processes; clear escalation paths; and metrics demonstrating business enablement and risk management.
Requirements:
- 7+ years of relevant legal experience, including advising on international expansion and global privacy and/or product regulatory matters.
- Demonstrated ability to counsel cross-functional teams (Product, Regulatory, Marketing, Sales, Engineering, Operations) in fast-paced environments with pragmatic, business-forward guidance.
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) and good standing with at least one U.S. state bar (or international equivalent in a common law jurisdiction).
- Strong working knowledge of major global privacy frameworks and cross-border transfer mechanisms; familiarity with international consumer and marketing law.
- Ability to translate complex, multi-regional rules into actionable, product-ready requirements.
- Experience building scalable legal processes (templates, playbooks, SLAs), communicating with regulators, and managing outside counsel across regions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; capable of simplifying complexity for executive and non-legal audiences.
Nice to Have:
- In-house experience at a high-growth technology or consumer health company.
- Exposure to wearable technologies, digital health, connected devices, and/or software-as-a-medical-device regulation.
- Specific expertise supporting EU/UK markets.
