General Counsel at amo

amo is a Paris-based consumer social company. We want to build Europe's most ambitious consumer company. Our apps Bump and Sugar are used by millions of people all over the globe.

Location sits at the heart of one of our current products, and privacy, trust and safety are part of how we build, not an afterthought.

We're scaling fast, and this comes with legal implications. We want them handled in a way that speeds the business up.

We're hiring our first General Counsel to own amo's legal function end to end. This is a business role, not a support function: you'll work directly with the cofounders, join discussions from the start and work with every team, from Product and Distribution to People, Engineering and Finance.

You'll draft, negotiate and advise yourself on the topics that matter most. For everything else, you'll build and run a network of local counsel, with the right firm for each topic and each market, and turn their advice into clear decisions for the team.

At amo, legal starts from the product, to serve our users. We're not looking for someone who applies the rules by the book, but for someone who understands what we're building and why, and finds the legal approach that makes sense for it. You'll be judged on what you enable, not on how many memos you write.

• Experience at a consumer app, social or gaming company.

• Hands-on work with location data, GDPR, content moderation (DSA).

• M&A transactions led or closed, buy side or sell side.

• A few years at a top-tier law firm before going in-house.

• Exposure to a crisis, whether regulatory, press or security.
  
  

To ensure that everyone is set up for success within our way of working, we work together onsite 5 days a week.

We wanted to make sure coming to the office was as comfortable as possible for you:

• We chose a location in central Paris, near Opera (Metro lines 3,8,9 and RER A).

• We have a beautiful Parisian-style office with high ceilings, balconies, and huge windows. So a lot of natural light!

Because life outside of work should also be stress-free, we cover:

• Health care (100% coverage).

• Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Second Parent Leave (salary maintained at 100%).

• Vacation days: 8-9 weeks (total) per year - (European summer? 🥹😎).

  • 5 weeks of paid time off (by the state);

  • 1-2 additional weeks (RTT, based on our company contract);

  • ~11 bank holidays.

    We shut down entirely twice a year, two weeks in summer and one week in winter to allow everyone to truly recharge and to avoid prolonged slowdowns (especially in the summer). These pauses are part of your total vacation time, giving everyone a real chance to unplug and recharge. No Slack, no email, no FOMO.
