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. Youre 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.

In this role, you will provide critical advice and counsel to the Google One (G1) and Photos businesses, across the entire range of their activities. Your main day-to-day will be to support the product management and engineering teams as they develop and launch new features and subscription tiers, providing risk analysis and risk informed strategic counseling to help the business achieve its goals. You will also play an important role in helping our product and engineering teams navigate global regulatory compliance, consumer protection, privacy, security, AI, and competition issues.

You will work directly with engineers, product managers, partner engineering leads, and cross-functional specialists across Legal and Global Affairs (GA) to translate complex global legal requirements into practical product designs, and launch-ready solutions that protect users and enable innovation at scale. You will also lead on our responses to regulatory and litigation challenges, representing our products and legal positions to regulators and others on behalf of the company.

Google One (G1) is Googles membership for personal cloud storage and Googles cutting-edge AI features. G1 is one of Googles fastest growing subscriptions, with over 150 million subscribers. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a high-impact team, shaping the future of our subscriber experiences, premium features and business growth initiatives.
