About the Role
Databricks is seeking a Senior Counsel to scale our international Public Sector compliance program by providing practical, risk-balanced compliance and integrity advice for priority EMEA and other international markets. In this role you will partner closely with our in-region Public Sector contracting legal team and cross functional stakeholders to enable responsible growth, and develop scalable guidance that works across jurisdictions. You will also localize other elements of our global compliance program, advising in region business teams and leading investigations as needed in compliance with local requirements.
Responsibilities
- ● Serve as a trusted advisor to public sector stakeholders, providing timely, business oriented compliance guidance that helps unblock deals and go to market execution across international markets.
- ● Lead the localization of public sector compliance guidance for priority countries and regions, translating global principles into locally workable approaches while keeping standards consistent across jurisdictions.
- ● Partner cross functionally to deliver clear guardrails and options that support growth while appropriately managing risk.
- ● Build reusable playbooks, templates, and enablement resources so teams can move faster with greater confidence and less reinvention across regions.
- ● Lead internal investigations as needed; this will be a smaller portion of the role but may vary with business needs.
- ● Help define how the organization works internationally by improving consistency and clarity across jurisdictions, so stakeholders know what to do, when to elevate, and how to proceed responsibly.
Requirements
- ● Qualified attorney in good standing in an EMEA jurisdiction with several years of post qualification experience, preferably with a mix of in house and law firm experience.
- ● Experience advising on public sector procurement, government contracting, or related compliance issues in EMEA, and comfort navigating multi jurisdiction complexity.
- ● A strong builder mindset, enjoying turning complex, fast moving ambiguous issues into scalable guidance and systems such as templates, playbooks, and enablement tools that teams can actually use.
- ● Investigations experience is a plus, including scoping, interviews, evidence management, and clear written outputs, with sensitivity to local requirements and practices.
- ● Clear, executive ready communicator who can frame risk, options, and recommendations and exert strong cross functional influence.
