Corporate Counsel, Shopping Legal

Amazon • Seattle, WA

25d

About The Position

Do you enjoy being the trusted advisor who helps product teams navigate
uncharted territory? Join Amazon's Shopping Legal team as Corporate Counsel,
where you'll serve as the go-to legal partner for teams building advance AI
models and search experiences.

You'll start your day reviewing product roadmaps with engineering teams,
advising on privacy implications of new AI features. Mid-morning might bring a
cross-functional meeting where you're building frameworks for novel legal
questions—there's rarely a playbook, so your judgment matters. Afternoons often
involve drafting guidance that translates complex regulatory requirements into
actionable advice for product teams. You'll field questions ranging from data
handling practices to customer-facing feature launches, serving as the trusted
advisor who helps teams move fast while managing risk thoughtfully.

The Shopping Legal team partners with some of Amazon's most innovative product
teams, supporting the evolution of how customers discover and evaluate products.
We're a collaborative group that values pragmatic problem-solving over rigid
precedent. You'll work alongside attorneys who understand that being a
generalist means learning quickly, asking great questions, and building
frameworks where none exist. We support each other's growth, share knowledge
freely, and take pride in enabling our business partners to deliver exceptional
customer experiences.
