Director, Legal and Incident Response Operations
Remote (U.S.)
Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.
We’re looking for an experienced manager to lead Discord’s Legal & Incident Response team (which we call “Legal Ops”).
The Legal Ops team manages: law enforcement requests, DMCA notices, privacy-related requests, civil legal process, exigent data requests, investigations, [and global intelligence monitoring and response]. As Discord grows, you’ll grow and scale this function, both by designing better ways to get the work done, and by supporting a team of motivated problem-solvers.
Reporting to our VP, Trust & Safety, you’ll champion your team of legal response experts, partner with product and engineering to develop new tools, be the front line for escalations from law enforcement, develop training for internal audiences, brief and advise internal and external partners, and represent Discord’s legal response efforts. You’re an experienced and dynamic leader responsible for developing and executing strategies to ensure legal compliance and safety. You’ll also do many things we haven’t even thought of yet.
