🚨 US Legal Counsel – U.S. Operations (Gaming / Tech / AI / SAAS) 🚨
📍 Location: Boston, MA
🏢 Work Arrangement: Hybrid / Onsite Flexibility Expected
✈️ Occasional Travel Required
💰 Compensation: $170K-270K DOE + Bonus + Long-Term Growth Potential
⚖️ Industry: Gaming | Technology | AI | Internet / Digital Products
Career Staffing Talent (CST) has partnered with a fast-growing global technology and gaming company seeking a hands-on US Legal Counsel to lead legal affairs for its U.S. operations. This is a highly visible role supporting strategic initiatives across commercial contracts, regulatory compliance, product counseling, employment matters, and legal operations in a fast-paced international environment.
This is NOT a traditional big-company “manage outside counsel only” legal role. The company is looking for a practical, business-minded attorney who can roll up their sleeves, operate independently, and help build scalable legal infrastructure while partnering closely with executive leadership and global legal teams.
🔥 What You’ll Be Doing
✔ Lead legal support for U.S. strategic and operational initiatives from planning through execution
✔ Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including vendor contracts, partnerships, and leases
✔ Advise leadership on regulatory compliance matters, including advertising, employment law, privacy, and data protection
✔ Partner cross-functionally with business teams, operations, product, and headquarters legal leadership
✔ Coordinate and manage outside counsel relationships across the U.S.
✔ Monitor evolving legal and regulatory developments impacting gaming, AI, internet products, and digital platforms
✔ Help build scalable compliance and legal processes in a growing global organization
✔ Support legal education and internal compliance training initiatives across U.S. teams
🎯 What We’re Looking For
✔ J.D. or LL.M. from an accredited university
✔ Licensed to practice law (preferably MASS or CA)
✔ 5+ years of relevant experience with a blend of law firm and in-house exposure preferred
✔ Strong commercial contracts, compliance, and legal operations background
✔ Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a fast-moving environment
✔ Startup mentality with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach to legal problem solving
✔ Experience supporting technology, gaming, internet, SaaS, AI, or digital product businesses strongly preferred
✔ Familiarity with privacy, trust & safety, online platform operations, or child/minor protection regulations is a plus
💡 Ideal Background
The hiring team is especially interested in attorneys coming from internet, gaming, or small-to-mid-sized technology companies where they’ve had broad exposure across contracts, compliance, employment, product counseling, and operational legal matters—not overly siloed legal specialists. The right person will enjoy being hands-on, solving problems quickly, and helping scale a business in growth mode.
🌟 Why This Opportunity Stands Out
✅ High-visibility role with direct exposure to executive leadership
✅ Opportunity to help shape legal infrastructure in a scaling global business
✅ Collaborative international environment with strong growth trajectory
✅ Exposure to cutting-edge gaming, AI, and digital platform initiatives
✅ Business-first culture that values practical legal thinking over bureaucracy
