    We’re looking for a pragmatic, strategic IP expert to join our Legal team. In this role, you will use your experience, expertise, and proactive approach to drive Reddit’s global IP strategy, provide seasoned counsel, and make a big impact on Reddit’s rapidly-growing business.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Define and continuously evolve Reddit’s worldwide IP litigation strategy, aligning it with Reddit’s product roadmaps, market positioning, risk profile, and long-term business goals.
    • Oversee Reddit’s global IP portfolio, ensuring it is aligned with Reddit’s business priorities and competitive differentiation objectives.
    • Shape and refine Reddit’s international litigation and strategic stance regarding a diverse array of emerging, novel IP matters.
    • Translate complex competitive IP landscapes into actionable strategic recommendations.
    • Be a subject matter expert and provide advice to cross functional partners and Legal team members on copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret matters.
    • Collaborate with Reddit’s engineering, product, and legal teams, along with outside counsel, to mitigate IP risk, protect Reddit’s brand, business, and innovations, and build Reddit’s patent portfolio.
    • Make smart judgment calls, navigate risks, and creatively manage internal and external challenges on Reddit’s IP matters.

    What We’re Looking For:

    • JD, top academic background, and current license in a state bar in the United States.
    • 10+ years of experience as an IP litigator, preferably with a mix of big law firm training and in-house experience at a tech or fast-paced company.
    • Strong understanding of copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret law.
    • Ability to lead on a wide variety of IP matters and proactively collaborate with various teams across Reddit.
    • Proven track record navigating intricate and emerging copyright litigation challenges.
    • Experience with patent litigation, licensing negotiations, and portfolio development, with a strong preference for experience with artificial intelligence and machine learning; web technologies; social products, technologies, and platforms; and/or the mobile space.
    • Ability to think strategically at a high-level and from deep in the details to drive complex problem solving and develop creative, business-forward solutions.
    • Ability to calibrate risk, distinguish business from legal risk, and communicate it clearly to executive, business, and technical audiences.
    • Nimble, fast moving, and an excellent communicator. You can think outside the box, articulate technical concepts in an easy-to-understand manner, and adapt and prioritize, while maintaining a big-picture focus on Reddit’s mission and goals. You're used to negotiating and collaborating effectively and have the ability to build strong relationships. You’re accountable and own the work you do.
    • You love and use Reddit!
