US Legal Counsel - U.S. Operations (Gaming / Tech / AI / SAAS)

Location: Boston, MA

Work Arrangement: Hybrid / Onsite Flexibility Expected

Occasional Travel Required

Compensation: $170K-270KDOE + 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
