reg lawyer @ entertainment business
We’re supporting a high-growth European digital subscription business on the hire of a Legal Counsel – Consumer & Product.
This is a rare opportunity to join a scaling, tech-enabled platform operating across 20+ European markets, at a point where regulatory complexity and commercial ambition are both accelerating.
The business combines entrepreneurial energy with serious financial backing. It operates in a highly competitive consumer-facing space, investing heavily in technology, product optimisation and customer experience. Despite its scale, it retains a flat, collaborative culture where legal is embedded directly into strategic decision-making rather than operating as a back-office function.
This is not a business standing still. It is actively evolving its platform, expanding across markets and navigating increasingly sophisticated EU digital regulation — making this role both commercially visible and intellectually stimulating.
Here’s what you need to know ⬇️
💡 The Role
→ Reporting into the VP, Product & Consumer
→ Acting as number two within the consumer/product legal function
→ Advising on subscription journeys, cancellation mechanics & platform functionality
→ Supporting pricing strategy and consumer promotions compliance
→ Monitoring and advising on evolving EU consumer & digital regulation
→ Exposure to areas including the Digital Fairness Act and AI Act (experience here highly beneficial)
→ Strategic, advisory-heavy role with minimal contract drafting
This is about influencing product design and commercial decision-making across multiple jurisdictions — not reviewing standard terms.
💡 The Team
→ Established in-house legal function within a broader business-facing structure
→ Flat hierarchy with strong access to senior leadership
→ Legal viewed as a strategic partner to product and commercial teams
→ Opportunity to help further shape and mature the consumer regulatory function
💡 The Profile
→ 4–8 PQE (flexible for strong relevant experience)
→ Strong grounding in EU consumer legislation essential
→ Experience advising digital platforms or subscription-based models advantageous
→ Familiarity with the Digital Fairness Act and/or AI Act beneficial
→ Confident partnering with product, tech and commercial stakeholders
→ Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, international environment
