US Legal Counsel – U.S. Operations (Gaming / Tech / AI / SAAS)
Location: Boston, MA
Work Arrangement: Hybrid / Onsite Flexibility Expected
️ Occasional Travel Required
Compensation: $170K-270K DOE + Bonus + Long-Term Growth Potential
️ Industry: Gaming | Technology | AI | Internet / Digital Products
Career Staffing Talent (CST)has partnered with a fast-growing global technology and gaming company seeking a hands-on US Legal Counsel to lead legal affairs for its U.S. operations. This is a highly visible role supporting strategic initiatives across commercial contracts, regulatory compliance, product counseling, employment matters, and legal operations in a fast-paced international environment.
This is NOT a traditional big-company “manage outside counsel only” legal role. The company is looking for a practical, business-minded attorney who can roll up their sleeves, operate independently, and help build scalable legal infrastructure while partnering closely with executive leadership and global legal teams.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead legal support for U.S. strategic and operational initiatives from planning through execution
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including vendor contracts, partnerships, and leases
Advise leadership on regulatory compliance matters, including advertising, employment law, privacy, and data protection
Partner cross-functionally with business teams, operations, product, and headquarters legal leadership
Coordinate and manage outside counsel relationships across the U.S.
Monitor evolving legal and regulatory developments impacting gaming, AI, internet products, and digital platforms
Help build scalable compliance and legal processes in a growing global organization
Support legal education and internal compliance training initiatives across U.S. teams
What We’re Looking For
J.D. or LL.M. from an accredited university
Licensed to practice law (preferably MASS or CA)
5+ years of relevant experience with a blend of law firm and in-house exposure preferred
Strong commercial contracts, compliance, and legal operations background
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a fast-moving environment
Startup mentality with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach to legal problem solving
Experience supporting technology, gaming, internet, SaaS, AI, or digital product businesses strongly preferred
Familiarity with privacy, trust & safety, online platform operations, or child/minor protection regulations is a plus
Ideal Background
The hiring team is especially interested in attorneys coming from internet, gaming, or small-to-mid-sized technology companies where they’ve had broad exposure across contracts, compliance, employment, product counseling, and operational legal matters—not overly siloed legal specialists. The right person will enjoy being hands-on, solving problems quickly, and helping scale a business in growth mode.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
High-visibility role with direct exposure to executive leadership
Opportunity to help shape legal infrastructure in a scaling global business
Collaborative international environment with strong growth trajectory
Exposure to cutting-edge gaming, AI, and digital platform initiatives
Business-first culture that values practical legal thinking over bureaucracy
