AI Product Counsel

About the role

As an AI Product Counsel on the Product and IP Legal team, you’ll focus on advising our AI product development team as they build and ship AI functionality—covering everything from product counseling for launches to accelerating AI partnership deals. This role exists because Notion is building the AI workspace that helps every person and team get more done, with intelligence embedded across the tools they use to think, create, and collaborate. This role is central to that effort.

Responsibilities

• Accelerate partnerships for AI product development: collaborate with cross functional stakeholders to streamline and de-risk the partnership path, including model reviews, procurement and evaluation agreements.
• Value add AI product development: provide pragmatic, product-oriented counsel that helps teams ship AI features and iterations quickly and responsibly.
• Monitor and translate emerging AI regulations into practical product guidance, launch requirements, and risk-based recommendations for cross-functional teams.
• Support customer-facing AI questions by partnering with Sales, Privacy, Security, and Product to provide clear, accurate responses on Notion AI capabilities, safeguards, and commitments.
• Pitch in to provide product legal support across the business as bandwidth allows.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product counseling experience with a technology company and/or law firm (in-house experience strongly preferred), including advising cross-functional teams on AI/ML-powered product development.
• Experience reviewing and negotiating vendor agreements (including identifying risk and moving quickly from “issues” to workable paths).
• AI and data licensing experience, with strong partnership across Privacy and Security to translate model, data, and customer requirements into practical product and vendor terms.
• Sound judgment in ambiguity: make crisp risk calls, name trade-offs clearly, and keep teams moving.
• Demonstrated curiosity about AI and a willingness to adopt AI tools to work smarter, move faster, and deliver better results. Developing your personal AI fluency is required for this role.
• A Juris Doctor (JD) degree and admission to the California or ability to be registered as in-house counsel in California.
