Legal Counsel - Global Compliance, Privacy & Risk

This is one of those in-house roles lawyers talk about but rarely see. A fast-scaling, design-led consumer brand operating across multiple jurisdictions is looking for a

senior legal mind

to own compliance, privacy/data and risk —

end-to-end , with real authority and visibility. This is not a narrow “policy” role. And it’s not a back-office compliance function. It’s a

commercial, trusted-advisor position

where you help a business grow confidently, creatively and responsibly. The role

You’ll sit close to the CEO and in-house leadership, shaping how legal risk is managed as the business scales globally across DTC and wholesale channels. Your remit will span: Privacy and data (GDPR and international equivalents) Consumer, marketing and digital risk Product and customer incident risk HR-related compliance and governance Enterprise risk and corporate governance You’ll

design and support practical compliance frameworks , but your real value is judgement: knowing what matters, what doesn’t, and when to step in. You’ll have the authority to pause, escalate or reshape activity where risk isn’t right — and the commercial credibility to bring the business with you. What makes this role stand out

True seniority and influence — not a checkbox role A business that values legal input early, not after the fact Global exposure without big-law bureaucracy The chance to build something smart, pragmatic and future-proof A culture that moves fast, thinks creatively and respects expertise You

Strong in privacy/data, consumer or regulatory risk Commercial, calm under pressure and highly trusted Comfortable designing frameworks

and

making real-time calls Someone who reduces risk without slowing the business down Has had in-house experience and understands exactly what a fast growing, global business requires from an in-house team. If you’re looking for a role where legal judgement genuinely shapes outcomes — and where your work is visible, valued and relied upon — this one is special.
