Job description
Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities beyond the reach of existing networks. We are looking for an experienced and technically savvy lawyer to join the Amazon Legal team supporting Amazon Leo’s international licensing activity. You will be embedded with the Amazon Leo team and be responsible for identifying and analysing complex and novel issues with high visibility. We need smart, self-motivated attorneys who can learn new and developing areas of law that they use to quickly form comprehensive strategies. Some travel, domestic and international, will be required. No space travel is required at this time.

Key job responsibilities
The successful candidate will work on a variety of international licensing and regulatory matters across EMEA that are important to Amazon Leo. You will:
- Identify, research, and analyze complex legal issues related to satellite technology and regulatory licensing matters, providing strategic counsel to business and technical teams
- Collaborate with Amazon Leo's technical, regulatory, and business teams to assess legal implications of new initiatives and advise on risk mitigation strategies
- Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders across the organization to understand business objectives and provide proactive legal guidance
- Support senior leadership and cross-functional teams in evaluating business-critical decisions and implementing legal solutions
- Advise on matters involving telecommunications law, spectrum licensing and international regulatory matters

A day in the life
As a Corporate Counsel supporting Amazon Leo, you'll engage with novel legal questions that span satellite technology, regulatory licensing matters, and international operations across EMEA. Your day might include analyzing emerging regulatory frameworks for low Earth orbit networks, collaborating with our technical teams to understand system architecture and identify legal implications, or advising business stakeholders on strategic decisions involving spectrum licensing or international telecommunications agreements. You'll work on matters with significant visibility and impact, sometimes independently and often in partnership with colleagues across legal, regulatory, business, and technical functions. Your work will directly influence how we navigate the complex landscape of bringing internet connectivity to communities around the world.

About the team
We partner closely with technical experts, regulatory specialists, and business leaders to navigate the unique challenges of satellite technology and international operations. We value diverse perspectives and welcome lawyers from various backgrounds who bring sound judgment and creative problem-solving abilities. We're building something meaningful together, and we're looking for someone who shares our commitment to supporting this transformative initiative. You'll join a group that thrives in dynamic, evolving situations and believes in the power of collaboration.

- Outstanding academic qualifications with 5+ years of post-qualification legal experience at a law firm or in-house counsel role.

- Experience advising senior executives or organizational leadership on legal and strategic matters, negotiation and execution of commercial contracts
