Principal Corporate Counsel

Are you interested in working on novel legal issues at the forefront of cloud computing for one of the largest hyperscale cloud computing companies in the world?  If so, come join the legal team supporting the Microsoft Security organization. We’re looking for a skilled and dynamic lawyer to join our legal team to provide legal support for, and serve as a trusted advisor to, the Device Management engineering team and the Central Fraud and Abuse Risk team, supporting cutting-edge security services like Microsoft 365 Defender in the role of Principal Corporate Counsel.

This attorney will be responsible for providing legal guidance, directly and in collaboration with other attorneys and legal professionals, to these business units on a range of legal, policy, business and strategic issues. This is a terrific opportunity to delve into important technical and policy areas, ranging from traditional product support work enterprise offerings, to serving as a trusted advisor for an organization that seeks to apply greater rigor on how Microsoft addresses fraud in all of its manifestations.  In this role, you can grow your skills across a wide range of different areas, both in substantive legal/policy areas such as regulatory compliance, intellectual property and licensing, data protection/data privacy, deal work, and competition law, as well as in other traditional in-house counsel capacities, such as learning to drive and influence internal alignment amongst different Microsoft stakeholders around the foregoing topics, including our Business Development, Privacy, and Compliance professionals. 

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
