Manages day-to-day litigation, dispute resolution, regulatory requests, and IP enforcement for an AI company. Partners with General Counsel on strategy, advises cross-functional teams on generative AI legal issues, and supports other legal domains. Requires JD, 5+ years litigation experience, and business acumen.
What you’ll do
- Manage litigation, third-party process, dispute resolution, and regulatory requests involving the company, spanning everything from helping Runway to develop its strategy on cutting-edge legal questions, to owning all in-house-side discovery execution
- Building, improving, documenting, and executing repeatable processes relating to the above areas
- Manage outside counsel
- Field frequent, day-to-day requests from other legal team members requesting your perspective in their commercial, product, and other legal work based on your litigation expertise and experience
- Monitor key regulatory and policy landscape updates relating to generative AI, including advising our AI safety, product, and engineering teams on those developments as appropriate
- Develop and execute Runway’s IP enforcement strategy
- Dive into the technical aspects of the product and industry to learn it inside and out, to inform your advice to the business
- Support the team in a number of other legal domains, potentially including, but not limited to: employment, trust & safety, policy, commercial, privacy, IP, and/or others
What you’ll need
- A J.D. and admission in good standing with at least one state bar
- Strong business acumen
- 5+ years of dedicated litigation experience (can include clerkships)
- A working knowledge of the key legal issues in Runway’s industry
- Excitement about generative AI and motivation to become a leading expert in the legal landscape governing a rapidly innovating industry, and how it should evolve
- A strong sense of ownership, whether, on the one hand, working on the highest-level strategic work at the company (think: navigating bleeding-edge legal questions), or, on the other hand, direct execution of work often handled by support staff at larger companies (think: drafting, issuing, and tracking litigation holds, tightly running a document collection process across multiple custodians and systems)
