The client base includes Marketing, Business Development, Business Affairs, and Product clients across all of Google, meaning you'll be exposed to numerous product areas. In this role, you will collaborate with our clients on various legal issues and business strategies pertaining to commercial agreements, while also contributing to the ongoing development of the team and its processes.
