Manager/Assistant Vice President - Legal Counsel - Compliance & Innovation - LLB/LLM

Be the legal brain behind compliance products:

- Serve as in-house legal counsel for company compliance and culture offerings, from idea to launch and scale.

- Spot, analyse, and mitigate legal, regulatory, and reputational risks across product concepts, scripts, scenarios, product features, and client use-cases.

- Ensure our products and solutions align with Indian law and global best practices across areas like anti-harassment, anti-bribery, whistleblowing, data protection, and workplace conduct.

Shape how compliance is taught:

- Guide internal teams on legal accuracy, nuance, and positioning for learning programs, simulations, case-studies, and LMS modules.

- Review and refine high-impact content, from scenarios and assessments to videos and tool flows, so that complex legal concepts become clear, practical, and engaging for non-lawyers.

Lead research and thought leadership:

- Track and analyse developments in statutes, rules, case law, enforcement trends, and global regulatory standards across focus areas such as DPDP, anti-corruption, competition, and employment law, etc.

- Convert these insights into advisory notes, perspectives, frameworks, and product ideas that keep company ahead of the curve and relevant to general counsels, CHROs, and boards.

Co-create cool legal-tech and compliance tools:

- Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to conceptualize and refine tech-enabled compliance solutions (e.g., workflows, assessments, advisory tools, and dashboards).

- Define legal and risk parameters for these tools, including logic, edge cases, red-flag triggers, escalation paths, and defensible audit trails.

- Evaluate third-party tools, integrations, and data flows from a legal, privacy, and ethics lens, especially in areas like DPDP compliance, investigations, and employee reporting.

Strengthen client solutions and relationships:

- Partner with Business Development and Client Success teams to design tailored compliance solutions grounded in strong legal reasoning and practical risk assessments.

- Participate in key client conversations to explain legal positions, defend choices in product design, and co-create roadmaps with in-house legal and HR leaders.

Steward quality and partnerships:

- Ensure all external vendors, consultants, and subject-matter experts meet our legal and ethical standards.

- Review and support contracts, scopes of work, and related documentation for product, content, and tech collaborations as needed.

What Were Looking For:

- Bachelors degree in Law (LL.B. or equivalent); LL.M. or additional specialization in corporate / technology / privacy / labour law is a plus.

- At least 7 years of post-qualification experience, preferably with a mix of law firm and in-house exposure in compliance, investigations, employment, privacy/data protection, or regulatory advisory.

- Strong research skills and comfort working with evolving regulations, enforcement trends, and cross-jurisdictional guidance.

- Excellent written and verbal communication - you can turn dense law into crisp, business-friendly advice and narratives.

- High ownership, curiosity about technology and product thinking, and the ability to work with cross-functional teams under time pressure.

Why This Role Matters:

- Influence how leading organizations embed integrity, compliance, and culture into everyday behaviours using modern learning and tech.

- Build a portfolio of innovative compliance and legal-tech work that goes far beyond traditional advisory or contract-heavy roles.
