We are seeking an enthusiastic, organized, and collaborative legal specialist intern (non-attorney) to join our team. This position will join the Approvals team, a group of legal professionals who support our product and marketing teams on the creation of games, marketing campaigns, and policies to help deliver upon EA's mission to be the world's greatest games company. You will work a hybrid work model defined as three days in office, and will report to Marketing Counsel.

• Partner with Product Counsel and Specialist Counsel to support game development teams on legal issues such as content clearance, trademark clearance, in-game advertising and reviewing specific game features.

• Review and approve consumer-facing product and marketing materials to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including ratings requirements, IP, advertising and privacy guidance, and regional-specific requirements.

• Help maintain and develop internal guidance and policies relating to marketing compliance.

• Prepare rules and disclosures for promotions including contests, sweepstakes, tournaments, and promotional offers.

• Strong interest, coursework, or background in intellectual property, media, technology, product development, or interactive entertainment.

• Prior professional experience in an office environment, corporate setting, or legal department (such as a paralegal, legal assistant, or intern) is highly valued but not required.

• Excellent communication, attention to detail, and project management skills.
