About the job

As Corporate Counsel at Google, you work on the most exciting legal issues as disruptive technological innovations require creative and proactive legal guidance. You're part of a whip-smart group of in-house lawyers and the projects and cases you take on challenge you to think big and differently. You are collaborative -- ready to partner in initiatives that influence all aspects of the business and work with Googlers from all over the company. As an integrated part of the team, you proactively assess legal risks and advise on products that will not only move information into the 21st century, but move information law forward as well.

As Strategy Counsel, you’ll be asked to identify and address the most significant current and emerging risks related to all aspects of our businesses in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. You will work closely with Google and other Alphabet companies’ Legal, Data Security and Privacy, Public Policy, Office of Compliance and Integrity, Communications, Marketing, Product, and Engineering teams to identify, prevent, and proactively solve and adapt the way Alphabet conducts business to account for these risks.

20th century laws don't always solve 21st century problems, and Google Legal crafts innovative approaches for working with some of the toughest legal challenges of the information age. Whether you're a patent attorney, an intellectual property expert or an engineer headed to law school, Google Legal lets you address unanswered legal quandaries and create new precedents. Our innovative services raise challenging questions that demand creative and practical answers. We provide those answers by working at the crossroads of the law and new technology, helping Google build innovative and important products for users around the world.

Responsibilities

• Identify potential or emerging internal and external risk pertaining to all aspects of Google and other Alphabet companies’ businesses in EMEA.

• Evaluate those risks to determine which are likely to materialize and identify strategic ways to mitigate those risks.

• Undertake and strategically manage special projects to address risk and increase Alphabet’s resilience to risk, including proactive compliance measures.

• Respond to incidents and help address urgent, unanticipated risks.
