Job Summary

Tines is seeking a highly strategic and business-oriented Lead Counsel, Commercial & Compliance to join our growing Legal team.

You will assist with internal governance frameworks, policy management, risk assessment processes, and customer-facing compliance needs. You will also advise on the contractual, operational, and regulatory implications of new products, features, and technologies.

In partnership with the People team and outside counsel, you will support global compliance-related aspects of operating in new jurisdictions, including employment-related considerations where appropriate.

  • Operational Scaling & Cross-Functional Leadership: You will help build scalable legal and compliance processes, templates, training materials, internal guidance, and self-service resources. You will be expected to operate as a practical, business-oriented partner who can bring structure to ambiguous issues and help the business move quickly while managing risk appropriately.

 

What you bring with you (required):

  • J.D. degree and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar
  • 7+ years of relevant legal experience, including significant experience in-house and/or at a law firm supporting technology companies
  • Experience supporting global legal, compliance, privacy, and/or governance initiatives

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
