About Us
JustAnswer is the leading AI + Human professional services platform, on a mission to revolutionize how people access expert help. Since 2003, we’ve connected millions of customers across 196 countries with verified professionals in real time—anytime, anywhere. With a powerful combination of human expertise and cutting-edge AI, we’re transforming the future of professional services.

Rooted in boldness, humility, and innovation, we take a data-driven approach to solving complex problems and continuously improving through Lean principles.

About the Role
We’re looking for a seasoned in-house attorney with sharp litigation instincts and a bias for action. As Senior Counsel, Global Risk, Regulatory, and Litigation, you’ll manage the strategic defense of global litigation, navigate complex regulatory challenges, and serve as a trusted legal partner to teams across the company.

You’ll join a lean, high-performing legal team where no task is too small or too complex — and where your work will directly shape the future of the business. You’ll gain exposure to a wide variety of high-impact projects, work directly with senior leaders, and help shape the legal and regulatory future of our global operations. If you’re energized by complex challenges, practical problem-solving, and making an outsized impact in a scrappy, fast-moving environment — we’d love to hear from you.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, collaborates well cross-functionally, and brings sound legal judgment, strategic thinking, and a practical mindset to everything they do.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and build our global litigation and regulatory function — including litigation strategy, outside counsel management, pleadings and settlement negotiations, discovery, and budget oversight.
• Develop and implement scalable processes for handling litigation, disputes, and regulatory inquiries across regions.
• Oversee subpoena responses and third-party requests for information.
• Support internal investigations and responses to privacy and security incidents.
• Provide risk-adjusted legal advice to stakeholders across engineering, technical operations, security, people operations, and expert operations.
• Monitor and interpret legal and regulatory changes affecting the business globally, and work with internal teams to incorporate changes into the company’s products and strategies.
• Advise cross-functional teams, particularly engineering and product, on privacy, AI, and regulatory issues impacting product development and data flows.
• Develop and deliver training on regulatory compliance, legal risks, and company policies.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of legal experience, including significant in-house experience at a technology or fast-paced company (required).
• Demonstrated success managing complex litigation and regulatory matters, including overseeing outside counsel and internal partners.
• Expertise in e-discovery and handling investigations, subpoenas, and government inquiries.
• Strong experience advising highly technical teams, including engineering and product, in dynamic and evolving regulatory environments.
• Excellent communication, strategic thinking, and judgment.
• Ability to work independently and prioritize effectively across multiple matters.
• Comfort working in ambiguity and wearing multiple hats — we’re a small team that moves fast and gets things done.
• Experience with international operations, privacy, AI regulation, or cross-border legal issues is a plus.
• Prior litigation experience at a technology company is highly desirable.
