About the role

Senior Counsel to scale international Public Sector compliance program for Databricks, providing practical, risk-balanced compliance and integrity guidance across EMEA and other international markets; localizes global compliance program and leads investigations as needed in line with local requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Be a trusted advisor to Public Sector stakeholders by providing timely, business-oriented compliance guidance that helps unblock deals and GTM execution across international markets.
  • Lead localization of our Public Sector compliance guidance for priority countries/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 so that teams can move faster with greater confidence and less reinvention across regions.
  • Lead internal investigations as needed–this is anticipated to be a smaller portion of the role but may vary by business needs.
  • Help define ‘how we work’ internationally by improving consistency and clarity across jurisdictions, so stakeholders know what to do, when to escalate, and how to proceed responsibly.

Qualifications

  • Qualified attorney in good standing in an EMEA jurisdiction with several years of post qualification experience (mix of in-house/law firm experience preferred).
  • Experience advising on public sector procurement/government contracting or related compliance issues in EMEA; comfortable navigating multi-jurisdiction complexity.
  • Strong builder mindset: you enjoy turning complex fast-moving ambiguous issues into scalable guidance and systems (templates, playbooks, enablement) that teams can actually use.
  • Investigations experience is a plus (scoping, interviews, evidence management, clear written outputs), with sensitivity to local requirements and practices.
  • Clear, executive-ready communicator who can frame risk, options and recommendations; strong cross-functional influence.
