Associate Corporate Counsel, Amazon Ads Legal

Job :  |  Services LLC

At Amazon, our legal professionals play a critical role in enabling business teams to innovate while managing risk effectively. As an Amazon Ads Legal Associate Corporate Counsel, you will advise on a range of legal matters, conduct product counseling, draft and negotiate contracts, and provide practical guidance that helps teams move quickly and confidently. You will work across functions to deliver clear, actionable legal advice on issues that matter — from commercial agreements to regulatory compliance.

If you are a collaborative, curious attorney who enjoys translating legal complexity into straightforward recommendations, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact at scale.

In this role, you will be the principal legal support for IMDb, including IMDb's contracts, ad services, customer experiences, licensing, compliance, and much more. You will work directly with senior business leaders, providing guidance across an array of issues. In addition to supporting IMDb, this role also includes providing guidance and thought leadership on emerging AI initiatives that cut across Amazon businesses.

• Assess Amazon Ads product and service proposals against regulatory requirements, AI transparency obligations, privacy promises, and other legal considerations.
• Learn the ins, outs, nuts, and bolts of how your clients' products and services work at a technical level to enable you to provide surgically precise legal advice.
• Provide clear, practical legal advice to internal stakeholders by researching and interpreting applicable statutes, regulations, and case law to support sound decision-making.
• Identify and assess legal risks across projects and programs, recommending mitigation strategies and escalating issues when appropriate.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize legal processes, develop best practices, and create templates or playbooks that improve efficiency and consistency.
• Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of commercial contracts and agreements, ensuring terms appropriately protect the organization while enabling business objectives.
• Prepare and organize legal documentation to comply with professional standards and guidelines, and support program management efforts by tracking progress and communicating priorities to stakeholders.

You might start your morning reviewing a contract proposal, working through key terms and preparing a summary of your recommendations.

After a quick call with business stakeholders, you shift to researching a regulatory question that surfaced the previous day.

In the afternoon, you join a cross-functional working session to help refine a new process for handling a recurring legal issue.

Then, you switch back to writing a document describing how Amazon will manage legal risks, customer trust considerations, and commercial strategic data leakage issues associated with a new product proposal.

Throughout, you balance competing priorities, provide timely counsel, and ensure your advice is both thorough and accessible.

Amazon Ads Legal is dedicated to providing trusted, responsive counsel that empowers business teams to move forward with confidence. We value collaboration, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to getting things right. We are embedded with our clients and help shape product decisions and business strategies in fundamental ways based on the trust we earn providing thoughtful legal advice. The Ads Legal organization supports the entire Amazon Ads business.

As we continue to grow, we are focused on building scalable legal frameworks and strengthening partnerships across the organization. This is an opportunity to join a team where your contributions directly mold how we operate and where your professional growth is supported every step of the way.
