Via is using technology to transform transportation around the world. From changing a single person’s daily commute to reducing humanity’s collective environmental footprint — we’ve got huge goals.

As a Legal Operations Associate, you will be a critical member of our dynamic and global legal team, working closely with a team of highly dedicated lawyers in EMEA as well as with Via’s legal team in New York. You will help us grow our business in Europe and continue to launch new cities.

What you will do

• Support business-critical contracting by negotiating, reviewing, marking up contracts, and maintaining the company’s forms and guideline documents.
• Procure and renew a variety of operational licenses in a multitude of jurisdictions, conduct legal and regulatory research and review/apply industry laws, including relevant transportation network services, gig economy, insurance, open source data, and data privacy laws.
• Handle internal and external legal requests and communications
• Ensure and track compliance with GDPR and other data privacy laws
• Develop working knowledge of internal databases and systems in order to pull insights from data in making business decisions
• Develop and implement ways of improving the efficiency and scalability of the legal team through the implementation and management of ticketing systems, document management and filing systems, and KPI tracking.

Who you are

• 1-5 years of work experience, including internships (ideally in a tech company)
• An analytical mindset and critical thinking skills are necessary, although prior legal experience is not.
• Meticulous and vigilant, with a keen attention to detail.
• Strong organizational and communication skills and an eagerness to help others.
• A positive can-do attitude, good judgment, and the ability to effectively manage competing priorities.
• Interested in the changing regulatory landscape of the on-demand transportation industry.

We’re Via, and we build technology that changes the way the world moves. We pioneered the TransitTech category to ensure that the future of transportation is shared, dynamic public mobility — the kind that reduces carbon emissions across congested cities, minimizes reliance on private cars, and provides everyone with accessible, efficient, and affordable ways of getting around. 

We created the first end-to-end TransitTech solution for cities and transit agencies, offering world-class software, service design, and operational expertise to fundamentally improve the way the world moves.

Via was founded with the guiding principle that we go further when we go together. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. All backgrounds, identities, and voices are welcomed and celebrated at Via.
