The team handles a broad range of legal matters across multiple jurisdictions and, as part of Trustpilot’s broader ‘Trust’ team, plays a key role in supporting Trustpilot’s mission to become a universal symbol of trust. This is an important role with the scope to make a real impact, so we’d love to hear from strong, committed individuals who relish a challenge and are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in!  

We are hiring this role to be based from our offices in New York City. We embrace hybrid working and you will be needed in our office 1-2 days per week.

• Improving our standard processes, documentation and training / support materials, allowing us to service and support stakeholders at scale.
• Legal research and helping to keep the Legal team up-to-date on changes to relevant law and regulation.

 Who you are:

• You will ideally have previous experience working within an in-house legal team, but it is not a requirement.
• You are proactive, a keen learner and take responsibility for your own work.
• You are always looking for ways to improve things and use your own initiative to propose solutions where you identify problems.
• You have excellent organizational and time-management skills, including the ability to juggle multiple demands and work at speed to meet tight deadlines.
• Team player with the ability to build relationships and communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels across multiple locations.
• You are a “tech-savvy”, fun, dynamic and positive person, who remains calm under pressure.
• You are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, global organization.
• You are an innovative, commercially-minded individual who has an interest in, and passion for, new technology, problem-solving and improving process delivery.
• You have legal research skills, a clear succinct writing style, and an excellent attention to detail.
• You speak and write English fluently - it’s our business language within Trustpilot.
• Knowledge of Google suite, MS Word & Excel and DocuSign is desirable.

 What’s in it for you:

• A competitive base salary range from $93,000 to $103,000 gross per year. This range doesn’t include any variable pay, such as bonuses, awards made under Trustpilot’s equity program, or other benefits
• A hybrid work set-up, 1-2 days a week in office
• 20 vacation days + 2 personal days +10 paid holidays per year

• 24/7 Employee Assistance Plan and full access to Headspace, a popular mindfulness app to promote positive mental health
• Paid parental leave for employees who have been employed for over 6 months with full scope of benefit after 12 months
• Regular opportunities to connect and get to know your fellow Trusties, including company-wide celebrations and events, ERG activities and team socials
• Communal lunch, extra treats and events during the month —  think ice cream carts, coffee bars, to name a few
