DESCRIPTION

Amazon’s Legal Department is looking for a talented Corporate Counsel to support Amazon Web Services (AWS), a dynamic and rapidly growing business at the forefront of cloud computing.

The successful candidate has excellent communication and organizational skills. They are enthusiastic about technology, enjoy working hard and being continually challenged, and demonstrate sound judgment even in ambiguous situations. They are able to prioritize, multitask, meet deadlines, and maintain flexibility in a fast-paced environment. The successful candidate works well within a large legal team, but is also able to work independently.

We hire attorneys with experience in a variety of practice areas, including (but not limited to) litigators, general corporate, mergers and acquisitions, technical transactions, intellectual property, telecommunications, real estate, products, regulatory compliance, and privacy. We don’t expect every applicant to have experience working with cloud computing, and we are looking for candidates who are willing to learn and develop alongside our team. Most importantly, we hire smart people of all backgrounds and experiences who demonstrate leadership and sound judgment in ambiguous situations.

Key job responsibilities
• Serve as a trusted advisor to business leaders and support the AWS Specialists and Partners team
• Work directly with business teams developing new products and services
• Identify risk and propose mitigation strategies
• Provide day-to-day input on business strategy
