    • At least three years of experience working as an attorney in government, in-house, or private practice.<\/li>\n
    • Experience working inside a company\u00e2\u0080\u0099s legal function and managing relationships with outside counsel.<\/li>\n
    • Knowledge of legal issues such as privacy, consumer protection, antitrust, contracts, content moderation or safety, or intellectual property in a technology context.<\/li>\n
    • Practical familiarity with export controls and sanctions in the EMEA region.<\/li>\n
    • Strong ability to take ownership, make decisions, work through ambiguity, and influence stakeholders while operating with deep subject-matter expertise.<\/li>\n
    • English fluency, since Google states that English proficiency is required for all roles unless the posting says otherwise.<\/li>\n
    • Willingness to work from one of the listed locations, with the application process allowing candidates to choose between London, UK and Dublin, Ireland as their preferred location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
