Senior Legal Counsel - Product

Ubisoft’s Legal Department is organized around dedicated legal counsels for each business area, working hand in hand with every team across the company. As Senior Legal Counsel, you will be the dedicated day-to-day legal partner for Creative House 4 (CH4), while remaining fully embedded in the centralized HQ Legal Department.

Creative House 4 builds epic and imaginative myths where players confront timeless truths and discover something about themselves along the way. Bringing together some of Ubisoft’s most iconic and diverse franchises - Anno, Beyond Good & Evil, Might & Magic, Prince of Persia, Rayman and Trackmania amongst other - CH4 crafts meaningful, immersive universes and character-driven journeys guided by emotion and wonder.

In this role, you will enable CH4 teams to move fast with clear, business-oriented legal guidance, identify legal and brand risks early, and act as the primary two-way liaison between CH4 and HQ Legal - combining business proximity with central governance discipline.
