About the job

With a company growing at such fast speeds, every day another agreement is made to keep Google running. As a member of the Legal Contracts team, you review and revise contracts -- often juggling several at a time. You develop practical and innovative ways to meet Google's needs and keep the company thriving, with the ability to affect Google's long-term goals.

In this role, you will specialize in music licensing, policy development, content creation and distribution, and associated transactions for Google products, with a particular emphasis on YouTube and YouTube Music within the APAC region. As a member of this team, you will be responsible for drafting and managing music-related templates and agreements, supporting diverse regional marketing initiatives across Google, and assisting teams in organizing and tracking commercial deals, legal disputes, and regulatory matters that impact Music. The client base includes Marketing, Business Development, Business Affairs, and Product clients across all of Google, meaning you'll be exposed to numerous product areas. In this role, you will collaborate with our clients on various legal issues and business strategies pertaining to commercial agreements, while also contributing to the ongoing development of the team and its processes.

20th century laws don't always solve 21st century problems, and Google Legal crafts innovative approaches for working with some of the toughest legal challenges of the information age. Whether you're a patent attorney, an intellectual property expert or an engineer headed to law school, Google Legal lets you address unanswered legal quandaries and create new precedents. Our innovative services raise challenging questions that demand creative and practical answers. We provide those answers by working at the crossroads of the law and new technology, helping Google build innovative and important products for users around the world.

Responsibilities

  • Review, draft and manage music licensing agreements, statements of work, and other intellectual property agreements. Review and summarize agreement terms.
  • Manage agreements so that they comply with company policies and risk tolerance.
  • Respond promptly to legal requests from Marketing, Business Development, Business Affairs and other clients, summarizing and communicating legal concepts that business teams can use.
  • Advise business clients on the legal issues and risks, complex agreement structures, approval processes, company policies and procedures.
  • Manage and improve current team processes and proactively develop new processes that increase the team's efficiency.
