You’ll work closely with the business to identify legal risks and provide practical, commercially focused advice. The role involves supporting cross-border activities across the US, UK, EU, and potentially other international jurisdictions. You’ll independently manage day-to-day legal matters while knowing when to bring in specialist external counsel. You’ll also help establish and improve legal processes as the business continues to grow. This is an opportunity to work in an international, technology-focused environment where legal expertise directly supports business operations and product development.

Accountabilities

• Independently manage routine legal matters and provide practical, business-oriented advice.
• Identify complex, specialist, or jurisdiction-specific legal issues requiring external expertise.
• Select, engage, and coordinate external legal counsel as needed.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders and external counterparties to support business objectives while managing legal risks.
• Help develop and implement practical legal processes that support efficient business operations.

Requirements

• 2-3+ years of relevant legal experience, including hands-on exposure to international and cross-border matters involving the US, UK, and EU.
• Practical experience in corporate and commercial law.
• Experience handling intellectual property law matters.
• Experience working with and coordinating external legal counsel.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of legal matters, and build legal processes from the ground up.
• Fluent Russian and B2+ English, with sufficient proficiency to review and negotiate contracts and communicate effectively with external counsel and counterparties.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• A business-oriented, hands-on approach with the ability to provide practical and commercially minded legal advice.
• Experience in consumer electronics, hardware, or an international product company is a plus.
• Practical experience with UAE or Chinese law is a plus.
• Relevant experience at a law firm, particularly advising international or technology-focused clients, is also valued.

Benefits

• Choice of working format: office, hybrid, or fully remote from anywhere in the world.
• Necessary equipment provided to support a comfortable and effective working environment.
• Benefits including VHI, corporate sports activities, foreign language courses, and therapy sessions.
• Five-day workweek with a flexible start to the working day.
