About The Position

Are you an experienced litigator ready to take on some of the most complex and
consequential legal challenges in the world? Amazon's Legal Department is
looking for a skilled competition litigator to help shape the company's approach
to worldwide litigation and regulatory matters — and to play a meaningful role
in how one of the world's most innovative companies manages legal and business
risk.

In this role, you'll work at the intersection of law, business strategy, and
government relations. On any given day, you might be strategizing with outside
counsel on a regulatory investigation, briefing senior leadership on litigation
risk, or advising a business team navigating a novel legal question. You'll
collaborate closely with colleagues across Amazon's legal organization and
engage directly with regulators and government officials around the world. No
two days look the same — and that's what makes this role uniquely challenging
and rewarding.

Our Litigation and Competition Legal team is a collaborative group of
experienced attorneys who work across borders and business lines to protect
Amazon and its customers. We value intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, and a
commitment to getting things right. The team is based in Arlington, VA and
Seattle, WA, and works closely with business leaders, policy teams, and outside
counsel across the globe.
