DESCRIPTION:

We are seeking a product or tech lawyer to join the Amazon Legal team supporting Amazon Ads.

Amazon Ads helps advertisers reach customers across Amazon properties (e.g., Amazon.com, IMDb TV, Twitch, Fire TV, and Amazon Music) and tens of thousands of third-party (3P) websites and apps. As Associate Corporate Counsel, you will counsel Advertising Trust team on policy and product development questions and ad tech issues at a time when AI is fundamentally reshaping the advertising landscape. AI-powered creative tools now allow brands to generate product-in-use videos and lifestyle imagery that previously required full production shoots, while AI-powered optimization is making full-funnel advertising simpler and more accessible. Agentic AI is also entering the commerce layer, with AI assistants beginning to influence purchasing decisions and platforms integrating paid advertising into conversational shopping experiences. These developments create novel legal questions across the ad tech stack. You will handle legal issues in business-centric ways and develop processes that address risk while allowing the business flexibility and freedom to quickly develop services that prioritize and delight our customers.

Key job responsibilities
- Counseling product and engineering teams on the development and deployment of AI-driven advertising features
- Advising on emerging regulatory and compliance requirements for AI in advertising
- Navigating the intersection of programmatic advertising and agentic AI
- Supporting product launches across Display, Video, and Audio inventory
- Advising on data governance for AI-powered advertising products, including audience data use and cross-platform measurement in an evolving privacy landscape
- Partnering with privacy, policy, trust and safety, and engineering teams to build scalable legal frameworks that keep pace with rapid product innovation

A day in the life
Your morning might start with a policy review as the Advertising Trust team evaluates how a new AI powered ad moderation tool can be used to enable or disable advertising for certain products or services or in certain locales. By midday you could be advising sales teams on onboarding a new brand advertising highly regulated services to customers. Later in the afternoon you might work with policy managers to develop a scalable ad content policy risk framework to cover new advertising placements that complies with consumer protection laws and privacy laws worldwide. The common thread across every conversation is the same: finding business centric ways to address legal risk while giving the team the flexibility to build quickly and keep customers at the center.

- Experience managing multiple projects and meeting aggressive deadlines

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

- Experience in web services/cloud computing, software licensing, telecommunications or equivalent
