Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.
Amazon Leo is seeking an exceptional Legal Counsel to lead the legal work for our international expansion of direct enterprise services and indirect partnership programs. This role will be the central legal owner for launching Leo's business services and indirect partnership programs globally, working at the intersection of product development, business strategy, and legal compliance.
As the legal owner, you will anticipate product and business needs before they arise, identify legal and regulatory risks across jurisdictions, and design practical solutions that enable the business to scale efficiently. You will establish launch processes, internal escalation paths, and cross-functional coordination mechanisms that allow Leo to enter new countries efficiently.
This role requires a strategic thinker who can balance legal rigor with business pragmatism — someone who finds creative solutions rather than simply identifying obstacles.
Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Amazon Leo's legal team operates at the forefront of innovation, supporting one of Amazon's most ambitious global expansion initiatives. We're a collaborative group that values creative problem-solving and business partnership over simply identifying obstacles. Our team culture emphasizes proactive engagement, cross-functional collaboration, and finding pragmatic solutions to complex legal challenges.
You'll work alongside talented colleagues who are passionate about enabling Leo's mission while maintaining the highest legal and ethical standards. We believe great legal counsel empowers businesses to scale efficiently and responsibly across borders.
Experience advising across multiple partnerships and clients.
Experience navigating complex legal and regulatory ambiguity in a fast-paced, start-up environment
