As Legal Counsel, Platform Liability & Enforcement at Spotify, you will help supervise Spotify’s legal takedown practices and policies and you will provide legal support for the teams that develop, implement, and support Spotify’s content policies.

Your experience making risk-based assessments and proactively finding solutions to complex problems will be crucial.

What You'll Do
  • Advise on Spotify’s global compliance with platform liability frameworks and copyright safe harbor laws (e.g., Digital Services Act, DMCA, Section 230)
  • Support managing Spotify’s legal takedown process, across all content types, across all types of legal issues
  • Provide legal advice across Spotify on platform liability, including issue-spotting and strategizing solutions for exciting new products
  • Work with internal and external counsel and government affairs experts to track evolving legal requirements across the territories where Spotify operates
  • Counsel the teams responsible for building, managing, and implementing Spotify’s content policies, including the Trust & Safety team and the Content Protection team
  • Work on proactive enforcement efforts regarding potential abuse of the Spotify platform
  • Provide legal support for litigations and press inquiries arising out of content takedown issues
  • Work with operations teams within and outside the legal team to develop efficient, scalable practices around legal takedown requests
  • Perform rotational work as business requires 

    • Who You Are
  • Law degree (or equivalent)
  • 5+ years of experience working in a law firm and/or in-house legal department
  • Deep understanding of intermediary liability frameworks, with a preference for experience litigating cases involving intermediary liability
  • Proven expertise in copyright law and other content-related legal issues
  • Experience assessing and advising on a broad set of legal standards, even when those standards are new to you
  • Experience in partnering with global stakeholders
  • A passion for legal problems; you can explain legal concepts to non-lawyers
  • A problem solver who stays calm when problems come your way
  • A builder; you can work collaboratively (especially with non-lawyers) on finding practical, implementable tools and operational solutions
  • Self-motivated and can identify and complete work to be done without being instructed
  • A multi-tasker who can triage to make sure the right matters get your attention
  • You’re willing to really dig deep on projects
  • You work well as part of a team — both with other lawyers and with non-legal partners

    • Where You'll Be
