This is an exciting time to join Remote and make a personal difference in the global HR-tech space as a Managing Counsel, Product (Please note, this is not a People Manager role) . We are looking for a talented and eager lawyer, who is interested in helping with our team’s mission, namely: to deliver pragmatic and innovative legal solutions for Remote’s products and stakeholders, while protecting Remote from unacceptable risk.
Remote’s well established Legal team is a bunch of friendly, talented highly motivated lawyers from a whole host of different countries, with some awesome experiences.

More specifically, this role is expected to:
Lead AI and HRIS product compliance, partnering with Product, Engineering, Security and the Privacy team;
Embed a risk-based legal review into product development workflows;
Own product T&Cs for HRIS and AI features (output ownership, training use, acceptable use, transparency/disclaimers).
Stand up core Product AI governance (model inventory, risk classification, human oversight, bias/testing, incident response alignment)
Qualified Lawyer : Seasoned lawyer with extensive experience on Product counseling (jurisdiction agnostic; multiple bars a plus)
Product Counsel Experience in technology, with prior HR-tech exposure (EOR/PEO/HRIS/Payroll) advising at scale across multiple jurisdictions.
