Expedia

At Expedia Group, M&A is in our DNA. We’ve done some of the most transformative deals in travel and technology, from the spinoff of TripAdvisor, to our acquisitions of iconic brands like Orbitz, Travelocity, Hotwire, Hotels.com, Vrbo/HomeAway, and trivago, to our investments in international players such Traveloka and Despegar, leading OTAs in Asia and Latin America. We also lead for legal on IPOs such as trivago and Despegar. This is an outstanding opportunity for you to join our multifaceted M&A team as Senior Corporate Counsel!

• Counseling on special projects, including high value strategic partnerships and commercial transactions.
• Counseling the broader organization and business leaders on commercial and regulatory issues, including antitrust and competition law, corporate matters, securities laws, and financial and tax regulations.
• Managing and interfacing with outside counsel, including managing a legal budget.

Who You Are

• Sound and practical business judgment, including comfort managing ambiguity
• Ability to work on a wide range of mission-critical projects with minimal direction involving a large number of partners, including the C-suite
• Excellent oral and written communication skills and interpersonal skills
