Description
As Legal Counsel, Platform Liability & Enforcement at Spotify, you will help supervise Spotify's legal takedown practices and policies and provide legal support for the teams that develop, implement, and support Spotify's content policies.
Your experience making risk-based assessments and proactively finding solutions to complex problems will be crucial. You will advise on Spotify's global compliance with platform liability frameworks and content safe harbour laws, manage Spotify's legal takedown process, and provide legal advice across Spotify on platform liability.
You will work with internal and external counsel and government affairs experts to track evolving legal requirements across the territories where Spotify operates, counsel the teams responsible for building, managing, and implementing Spotify's content policies, and work on proactive enforcement efforts regarding potential abuse of the Spotify platform.
You will also provide legal support for litigations and press inquiries arising out of content takedown issues, work with operations teams within and outside the legal team to develop efficient, scalable practices around legal takedown requests, and perform rotational work as business requires.
To succeed in this role, you will need a law degree (or equivalent), 5+ years of experience working in a law firm and/or in-house legal department, and a deep understanding of intermediary liability frameworks, with a preference for experience litigating cases involving intermediary liability.
You will also need proven expertise in copyright law and other content-related legal issues, experience assessing and advising on a broad set of legal standards, even when those standards are new to you, and experience in partnering with global stakeholders.
A passion for legal problems, the ability to explain legal concepts to non-lawyers, and a problem-solving approach are essential. You should be self-motivated, able to identify and complete work to be done without being instructed, and a multi-tasker who can triage to make sure the right matters get your attention.
You will work well as part of a team, both with other lawyers and with non-legal stakeholders, and be willing to really dig deep on projects.
