Description

We're looking for an attorney to join Adobe's Ethics and Compliance Office, working to ensure Adobe acts with integrity across its business. The role will have a strong focus on trade compliance and will also stretch across other compliance matters, including anti-bribery and corruption.

Responsibilities:

  • Advise Adobe product teams on global trade regulations, including sanctions, export controls, customs, and supply chain rules.
  • Provide day-to-day trade and anticorruption compliance guidance and track emerging regulatory trends.
  • Advise Adobe's restricted party screening function on controls, processes, and procedures, including supporting and developing automation.
  • Provide strategic trade and anticorruption compliance advice for complex commercial agreements, including drafting and negotiating terms.
  • Maintain strong relationships across the business to effectively spot and address trade and antibribery/anticorruption compliance risks.
  • Support trade and anticorruption compliance activities related to merger-and-acquisition due diligence and business-integration activities.
  • Provide training on trade compliance topics to cross-functional teams, including sales, product, engineering, and legal colleagues.
  • Handle regulatory inquiries and filings with U.S. and other agencies, as needed.
  • Advise on other compliance matters.

Requirements:

  • Law degree/JD, with a mix of law firm and in-house experience preferred;
  • 5+ years of legal experience advising on U.S. economic sanctions and export control laws and other compliance regulations;
  • Experience advising multinational companies (preferably in the tech sector) on non-U.S. trade laws, including EU and UK sanctions and export control regimes;
  • Passion for developing and using technology in legal practice;
  • Highly effective communicator who can translate complex regulations into actionable guidance for business and compliance teams;
  • A self-starter who can operate independently in a dynamic global environment;
  • An approachable and flexible manner with a great sense of humor; and
  • Willingness to work flexible hours (this role requires frequent collaboration with non-US-based team members).

Expected Pay Range: The U.S. pay range for this position is $126,700 - $230,700 annually. Pay within this range varies by work location and may also depend on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
