• Advise on cross-border commercial and regulatory matters across the UK, EU, and APAC.
• Structure appropriate international data transfer mechanisms, including SCCs, adequacy decisions, and BCRs, in connection with voice data processing.
• Monitor developments in AI regulation and technology law, translating emerging requirements into clear, actionable guidance for internal teams.

• Help establish foundational legal practices and infrastructure that can scale alongside the organization’s international growth.

Requirements:

• JD, LLM, or equivalent law degree or professional qualification from an accredited institution.
• 5–12+ years of legal practice experience, gained in-house, at a law firm, or across both environments.
• Strong experience handling international commercial transactions, particularly enterprise agreements, partnerships, and strategic business relationships across UK/EU and APAC markets.
• Solid knowledge of intellectual property, privacy, data security, and data licensing, with demonstrated depth in several of these areas and willingness to develop expertise in others.
• Practical experience with data protection frameworks and cross-border data transfer mechanisms relevant to international operations.
• Strong commercial judgment and the ability to navigate complex or ambiguous legal issues while providing clear, actionable advice.
• Exceptional written communication skills, with the ability to produce precise, straightforward, and persuasive legal documentation and guidance.
• Strong negotiation, stakeholder management, and business partnering skills.
• A pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach and the ability to minimize unnecessary friction while protecting business interests.
• A builder mindset, with enthusiasm for creating processes, systems, and legal infrastructure from the ground up.
• Comfort working in a fast-changing, AI-first environment and adapting quickly as priorities and technology evolve.
• Experience supporting high-growth startups and building legal infrastructure that enables efficient sales growth is highly valued.
• Hands-on experience with commercial and legal matters in the AI sector is a strong advantage.
• Experience supporting a U.S.-headquartered company expanding into the UK, EU, and/or APAC is a plus.

Benefits:
