Risk management, process & AI‑enabled improvement

• Provide pragmatic guidance on key risk areas across relevant laws and regulations, in partnership with stakeholders, in a way that supports product velocity and business objectives.

• Develop and continuously improve templates, playbooks, policies, and procedures – including leveraging AI and automation tools – to create scalable, efficient legal support for product and commercial teams.

• Pilot and champion AI‑enabled process improvements (for example, contract review workflows, playbook‑driven self‑service, and knowledge management) to reduce friction and improve turnaround times.

• Manage and effectively leverage outside counsel where needed, ensuring cost‑effective and high‑quality advice aligned with internal guidance.

• Proactively identify emerging risks and opportunities, think ahead, and help the business prepare for future legal and regulatory developments.

Cross‑functional collaboration & leadership

• Build strong, trusted relationships with internal clients across product, engineering, UX, marketing, sales and operations; act as a visible, approachable partner to the business.

• Collaborate closely with Privacy, Brand, Marketing, IP and Commercial Legal colleagues to deliver aligned, coordinated advice and support for key initiatives.
