Learneo is a platform of builder-driven businesses, including Course Hero, CliffsNotes, LitCharts, Quillbot, Symbolab, and Scribbr, all united around a shared mission of supercharging productivity and learning for everyone. We attract and scale high growth businesses built and run by visionary entrepreneurs. Each business innovates independently but has a unique opportunity to collaborate, experiment, and grow together, and they are supported by centralized corporate operations functions, including HR, Finance, and Legal.

As Learneo continues to scale and introduce new businesses to the platform, it is imperative that we have the infrastructure in place to help them build, launch, and maintain products that will contribute to our ambitious goals while minimizing legal risk. As such, we are looking for a Sr. Product Counsel to join our talented Legal team, reporting directly to our Director of Product & Privacy. You will support one or more business lines (as needed) while working closely with product, engineering, and other key stakeholders to provide legal counsel on a variety of product related issues, including copyright, DMCA, privacy, and compliance matters.

The successful candidate will have significant experience and subject matter expertise in copyright law, combined with a builder’s mindset of “figuring stuff out” and a business partner’s approach. If you are looking for an opportunity to have significant impact within a global, scaling organization and have a passion for technology and learning, this role could be a great fit!

Here are some ways you’ll make an impact:

Partner with product managers and engineers to provide guidance on legal issues related to product design, development, and operations, with specific attention to copyright, intermediary liability, trademark, privacy, and data protection
Build and maintain legal processes and documentation to support new product launches and feature enhancements
Provide cross-functional leaders with pragmatic and strategic advice to minimize legal risks while advancing business goals and initiatives
Foster trust-based and consultative relationships with key partners across product, engineering, and their cross-functional teams
Identify opportunities to centralize knowledge and build scalable processes to increase visibility of legal principles and processes and expedite communication/alignment/execution of legal advice and risk mitigation
Provide support to other in-house counsel and the business as other product-related questions or issues arise (i.e., privacy)
