Job description

As the Senior Legal Counsel for the US Subsidiary , you will be the sole and primary legal point of contact for all US business units. You will be responsible for providing comprehensive legal advice, ensuring compliance, and managing all legal risks associated with the subsidiary's operations. This is a crucial, high-impact role that reports directly to the Global General Counsel at the parent company.

Key Responsibilities

  • Corporate & Commercial Law : Draft, review, negotiate, and finalize a wide range of commercial agreements, including sales contracts, vendor agreements, partnership agreements, NDAs, and licensing terms.
  • Compliance & Risk Management : Oversee and manage all US regulatory compliance matters, including but not limited to data privacy (e.g., CCPA, state-specific laws), export controls, and industry-specific regulations.
  • Employment & HR : Provide legal guidance on US employment law matters, including hiring, termination, compensation, employee handbooks, and workplace policies, working closely with the HR team.
  • Litigation Management : Manage and coordinate any litigation, disputes, or regulatory inquiries involving the US subsidiary, working with external counsel as necessary.
  • Corporate Governance : Ensure the US subsidiary operates in compliance with all internal corporate policies, external laws, and corporate filing requirements.
  • Strategic Advising : Act as a strategic business partner, providing proactive legal advice to the US leadership team on new initiatives, product launches, and market entry strategies.

Requirements

  • J.D. Degree from an accredited law school.
  • Active membership in good standing with a State Bar in the United States (preferably in the state of the office location).
  • Minimum of 8+ years of relevant legal experience, with a significant portion of that time spent in an in-house role, specifically supporting a US subsidiary or business unit of a multinational company.
  • Expertise in core US commercial law, including contract drafting and negotiation.
  • Strong working knowledge of US employment law and relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g., data privacy, consumer protection).
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, practical business advice for non-legal stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, manage a diverse legal workload, and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Benefits

  • Autonomy and Impact : You will have complete ownership of the legal function for a major market, offering a high degree of autonomy and direct impact on the company's growth.
  • Global Exposure : Work closely with legal and business teams across multiple international jurisdictions.
  • Innovative Culture : Join a dynamic and forward-thinking company that is shaping the future of robotics.
  • Compensation : Competitive salary, bonus structure, and comprehensive benefits package.
  • We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
