About the position

We're looking for an experienced manager to lead Discord's Legal & Incident Response team (which we call "Legal Ops"). The Legal Ops team manages: law enforcement requests, DMCA notices, privacy-related requests, civil legal process, exigent data requests, investigations, and global intelligence monitoring and response. As Discord grows, you'll grow and scale this function, both by designing better ways to get the work done, and by supporting a team of motivated problem-solvers. Reporting to our VP, Trust & Safety, you'll champion your team of legal response experts, partner with product and engineering to develop new tools, be the front line for escalations from law enforcement, develop training for internal audiences, brief and advise internal and external partners, and represent Discord's legal response efforts. You're an experienced and dynamic leader responsible for developing and executing strategies to ensure legal compliance and safety. You'll also do many things we haven't even thought of yet.

  • Scale the Legal Ops team as it responds to a quickly-growing docket of law enforcement requests, DMCA notices, privacy-related requests, civil legal process, exigent requests, and external events
  • Move effortlessly from the weedy technical details to the big picture to identify critical areas for tooling and process improvements, supported by data; collaborate across functions to find solutions; and project-manage implementing these improvements
  • Represent Discord's legal response efforts to regulators, civil society, partners, journalists, and internal stakeholders including senior leadership
  • Love managing people; be a champion and advocate for your function and team

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in legal operations or another law enforcement-related role, including 5+ years building and managing a legal operations function at a technology company
  • Experience managing a team in a hyper-growth environment
  • Experience briefing senior decision makers and publicly representing work to regulators, civil society, partners, journalists
  • Comfort collaborating with cross-functional teams including product managers, engineers, lawyers, and content moderators to find solutions to challenging problems
  • Ability to collaborate and thrive in a fast-paced/startup environment
  • Curiosity and ability to jump into less familiar areas, and learn while doing
  • Commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging
  • Familiarity with/interest in the technical side of tech
  • Familiarity with ticketing systems, such as Zendesk, JIRA, etc.
