• Manage legal and government interactions, including answering regulatory inquiries, responding to government requests, handling enforcement matters, and supporting the Government Affairs team.
• Work with cross‑functional teams to guide product launches and market projects, ensuring adherence to relevant laws across India and APAC.
• Review, draft, and negotiate diverse commercial contracts, such as advertising, marketing, and partnership agreements that support Spotify’s business in the region.
• Improve standard agreements and legal processes to help us scale internationally while maintaining local relevance.
• Collaborate with business teams to explain legal concepts clearly and help integrate legal considerations into business strategies, including advising on risks, regulatory concerns, and governance.
• Work with global legal and business teams to stay aligned, share insights, and support company-wide initiatives.
Who You Are:
• A fully qualified lawyer with at least 5 to 7 years of experience in a law firm or in-house legal team.
• Skilled in providing legal advice across APAC jurisdictions, ideally including India.
• Experienced in regulatory matters, consumer protection, compliance, intellectual property, privacy, and other legal areas relevant to online services.
• Adept at handling a broad range of commercial agreements and offering practical, actionable guidance to business partners.
Where You’ll Be:
• This role is based in Mumbai.
• We offer flexibility so you can work where you are most productive. While some in‑person meetings are expected, remote work is also supported.
