    Regulatory Counsel - San Francisco, United States - Waymo

    Default job background
    Description

    Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they're going.

    Since our start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has been focused on building the Waymo Driver-The World's Most Experienced Driver-to improve everyone's access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes.

    Our Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, our fully autonomous ride-hailing service, as well as Waymo Via, our trucking and local delivery service.

    To date, Waymo has driven over 20 million miles autonomously on public roads across 25 U.S. cities and conducted over 20 billion miles of simulation testing.


    At Waymo, we are mission-driven and believe deeply in the opportunity of autonomous driving technology to improve mobility and make people's lives better.

    We are united by purpose and responsibility (for our employees and riders alike).

    We are looking for kind, committed, employees who have integrity, dream big, work together as one team and create a sense of belonging for one another that is the foundation of our culture.

    We want each team member to feel welcomed and included in every step of our exciting journey.


    As part of Waymo's Legal team, you will work on the exciting legal issues surrounding our transformational autonomous driving technology and help drive our business lines forward from technology ideation through scaled commercial deployment.

    We partner with our public policy, safety, security and privacy experts to define transportation policy for the autonomous driving world to come, advising on regulatory changes that support and protect our users around the world.

    We collaborate with our engineering, product, strategy and operations teams to develop and protect our intellectual property portfolio and drive our corporate and commercial transactions.

    We ensure compliance with an increasingly complex and dynamic range of global regulations. And we anticipate, mitigate, and litigate high-profile and precedent-setting legal matters.


    This location preference for this role is the SF Bay area (remote considered) and it will report into Managing Counsel, Product & Regulatory.


    In this role you'll:

    • Develop vision, strategy, and implementation for complying with a range of regulations - this includes interpreting legacy legal and regulatory frameworks that didn't contemplate our novel technology and advising on new laws and regulations developed with AVs and related emerging technology in mind.
    • Advise on matters at the local, state, and federal level, with an emphasis on areas of greatest need (e.g. land use and zoning for our sites; airport operations; new operational territories; legislative review and drafting of proposed legislation and regulations; advising our Policy team as they engage with policymakers).
    • Engage in planning efforts to ensure that regulatory compliance and strategy are properly incorporated into the project roadmap.
    • Respond to novel questions of law on various topics, including issues that may be new to you and/or the company.
    • Provide counsel on proposed legislation and regulations and in negotiations among partners. Collaborate with our Policy team on advocacy strategies for engaging with regulators and policymakers, particularly at the local level.

    At a minimum we'd like you to have:

    • Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school and active bar membership
    • 3 to 5+ years of experience as an attorney at a firm, in-house at a company, or in government.
    • Experience with regulatory and legislative matters (e.g. engaging in rulemaking processes, advising on legislative bill text, building regulatory compliance programs for a rapidly scaling company with a range of partners).
    • Experience generating nuanced and advice for novel or ambiguous legal issues.
    • Experience digging into nuances of the law, while at the same time understanding the bigger picture of the legal, policy, and business landscapes.
    • Desire to learn how our complex technology works and apply that knowledge in your legal interpretations and advice.

    It's preferred if you have:

    • Experience advising on city/local level regulatory or legislative matters (e.g. land use, airports, or other local issues).
    • Experience working on emerging technology issues, bonus for experience with technology that impacts cities, mobility, or safety.
