- Guide teams on content monetization, copyright, and privacy issues (particularly related to data analytics, minors, and age-verification frameworks).
- Ensure products meet accessibility standards by communicating clear requirements and identifying legal risks early in the product development process.
- Review marketing collateral for compliance with advertising standards and intellectual property rights.
Skills and knowledge you should possess:
