## The posting

Sr. Legal Counsel, International Public Sector Compliance
Databricks · Ireland

**GAQ327R300**

**Role summary**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.

**The impact you will have**

- 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.

**What we look for**

- 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.
