Key job responsibilities
We are looking for a talented lawyer to join the Amazon Legal team supporting Amazon Leo. You will be embedded with the Amazon Leo's ground infrastructure services and operations teams (ground gateways, networking infrastructure), with a focus on transactions in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). You will structure, draft, and negotiate a range of agreements (e.g., agreements needed to contract for gateway sites, and to construct and operate ground gateways), and counsel the business team on legal issues related to Amazon Leo’s ground infrastructure. The successful candidate will develop strategies for handling legal issues in creative, business-centric ways and build processes that address risk and allow the business flexibility and freedom to move quickly.
We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic about technology, enjoys being continually challenged, and demonstrates sound judgment even in ambiguous situations.
