Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. For us, life's not about a job, it's about purpose. We believe real change starts with conversation. Here, your voice matters. Come as you are and together we'll do what's right (not what's easy) to serve the public conversation.

Who We Are:

Product Counsel are key advisors to Twitter’s product and engineering teams, and also work closely with the product Trust & Safety teams. We are passionate about the law and growing our business in a way that gives everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide legal advice to Twitter’s product group and engineering teams focusing on personalization, interests, and international expansion.  The product group you will support builds features and products that increase engagement on Twitter by connecting users with more of the content they want to see. 

• Partner with other leaders on the Legal and Public Policy teams, exhibiting a deep understanding of how Twitter products work and how their evolution is influenced by global laws.  

• Help build scalable and effective processes for providing legal input to clients on strategic product initiatives.

• Work collaboratively across multiple functions, including Legal, Product, Engineering, Trust & Safety, Policy, Communications, and Business Development.

• Stay up-to-date on relevant U.S. and international laws and regulations, especially those related to privacy, intellectual property, content regulation, and consumer protection, among others.

Who You Are:

Product Counsel must have a deep understanding of Twitter’s products and business, and an ability to guide clients with clear, practical advice in a fast-paced environment. We are looking for people who are collaborative, self-motivated, curious, creative, and clear communicators (both written and verbal). A successful candidate will have expertise in the legal areas we face on a daily basis - such as privacy and data protection, content regulation, copyright, advertising, and consumer protection - and a willingness and ability to continue to learn and stay abreast of changing laws.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of legal experience is preferred, including privacy, consumer protection, and content regulation law; regulatory and in-house experience is preferred but not required.

• Solution-oriented, customer service, and growth mindset - you welcome diverse perspectives and engage problems with curiosity. 

• Ability to integrate into cross-functional teams with a cooperative and participatory approach.

• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas in a succinct and impactful manner.  

• Bar admission or equivalent and in good standing to practice law in a US state jurisdiction.  

Preferred:

• Experience as an in-house adviser for consumer platforms in the social media sector, dealing with issues related to personalization and data protection.

• A working understanding of current and emerging privacy laws (CCPA, GDPR, ePrivacy Directive); as well as an understanding of evolving platform (iOS, Android) user privacy rules.
