What this job can offer you

This is an exciting time to join Remote and make a personal difference in the global HR-tech space as a Managing Counsel, Product (Please note, this is not a People Manager role).

• Lead AI and HRIS product compliance, partnering with Product, Engineering, Security and the Privacy team;
• Embed a risk-based legal review into product development workflows;

• Draft and negotiate product terms, and AI‑specific clauses as required (training/usage of data & metadata, output/IP ownership, acceptable use, transparency), in collaboration with Commercial Legal team.
• Proactively monitor new AI and tech regulations and translate those into concrete, actionable steps for product, design and engineering teams.
• Manage external counsel on complex, multi‑jurisdictional issues; drive clear, practical outcomes.
• Deliver targeted enablement (Trainings or office hours).
• Partner with Privacy & Security on DPIAs/TIAs, incident response, and vendor/LLM diligence.
• Complex matters: figures out solutions rather than just escalating problems.

What you bring

• Qualified Lawyer: Seasoned lawyer with extensive experience on Product counseling (jurisdiction agnostic; multiple bars a plus)
• Product Counsel Experience in technology, with prior HR-tech exposure (EOR/PEO/HRIS/Payroll) advising at scale across multiple jurisdictions.
• Strong command of emerging AI frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act, UK approach, U.S. state/federal developments, Canada AIDA) and their interplay with data protection (GDPR/CCPA) and employment transparency rules
• In‑house Experience: Bonus – In‑house legal experience preferred
