About this role
Amazon's Content Policy Legal Team is looking for a lawyer to advise on global content policy and online safety across Amazon's products and services. In this role, you will partner with Amazon's public policy teams to analyse proposed content policy and online safety legislation around the world and develop Amazon's legal positions. As new laws take effect, you will advise teams across Amazon on compliance strategies and partner with product counsel and business teams to implement practical solutions. You will design legal approaches and build scalable processes that protect customers while allowing the business to move quickly. You will combine strong legal judgment and strategic thinking with practical experience in online safety law, content moderation, trust and safety, public policy, or regulatory compliance in the technology industry.
Key job responsibilities
- Track and analyse content policy and online safety legislation; assess impact to Amazon services and develop compliance strategies.
- Partner with product counsel and business teams to implement regulatory requirements, advising on content moderation policies, risk assessments, and operational controls.
- Advise Amazon services on content policies and compliance frameworks, and develop scalable guidance, playbooks, and resources for business teams, including building and implementing practical solutions and tools, which may include AI-powered applications.
- Support cross-Amazon policy initiatives, working with public policy, public relations, and business leadership to align positions on emerging trust and safety issues.
A day in the life
In a typical day you might interpret a newly introduced online safety bill and assess which Amazon services are affected, meet with a product team to advise on compliance controls for a content moderation workflow, draft a position document on an emerging regulatory issue for business and public policy stakeholders, and collaborate with legal colleagues across jurisdictions to align on a cross-Amazon compliance approach. You will work across many teams and many threads simultaneously.
