We're looking for Discord's first regulatory counsel. Reporting to the Senior Director of Litigation and IP, you'll help develop and scale Discord's regulatory response strategy on cutting-edge questions including user privacy and online safety. If you like things predictable and routine - this is not the role for you! When you combine a rapidly-scaling company with regulations around the world in hyper-evolution, the results are guaranteed to keep you on your toes. You'll play an important role on Discord's growing legal team and collaborate with us as you manage Discord's response to regulators.What you'll be doing
  • Manage Discord's response to regulatory requests: assess the incentive (or threat) posed to Discord by the inquiry; translate requests for non-lawyers; gather and organize responsive data and information; and draft accurate, compelling responses that meet our obligations and further our interests
  • Supervise and collaborate with outside counsel on complex or contentious matters
  • Collaborate with product counsel to introduce regulatory compliance-related product updates
  • Maintain up-to-date canonical templates for company practices and positions on topics such as privacy, security, adult content, teen safety, etc.
  • Monitor new and updated regulations and anticipate enforcement risks
  • Leverage the deep knowledge of Discord you'll gain to support the Policy team's engagement with regulators
  • Depending on overall workload and interest, you may help to defend Discord by responding to consumer complaints including threat letters, attorney general complaints, small claims, and other consumer-related issues; and manage defensive matters depending on size and complexity
What you should have
  • 3+ years working in regulatory counseling or in litigation (especially if related to Internet regulation, e.g., privacy, consumer protection, CDA 230, DMCA, or other regulated spaces)
  • Curiosity and ability to jump into less familiar areas and learn while doing
  • Experience scaling processes for a fast-growing company
  • Demonstrated experience managing projects, prioritizing, and achieving results
  • Excellent writer who can tailor the message to the audience
  • Attitude of collaboration and always questioning your assumptions
  • Commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging
Bonus Points
  • You are familiar with Discord and Google Workspace
  • Experience working with regulators outside the United States
  • Privacy litigation or regulatory litigation experience
  • Experience at consumer-facing technology platforms
