Be our external spokesperson on privacy and compliance; tell our story, embody our mission, explain our business model, and defend trade-offs.
    • ⚙️ Take responsibility for drafting, negotiating, and managing all critical commercial contracts. As Poki expands its platform to welcome more web game developers, you will tackle the legal challenges related to content management, terms of service, and potential breaches. You'll play a key role in advising on and automating the legal processes involved in self-service game publishing.
    • ♟️ Lead Poki's legal department and provide expert, strategic legal advice to the leadership team on a wide range of issues. Work together with our Data Protection Officer, mentor our Legal Counsel and be willing to take a hands-on approach when needed. Enhance the overall compliance of Poki's operations, and help establish scalable processes for intellectual property protection and HR requirements.
