Counsel, Product

• Conduct tactical, high-volume review of advertising and promotional claims, product labeling, and marketing assets across channels (web, email, social, paid media, and packaging) for compliance with FDA, FTC, and state consumer protection requirements.
• Evaluate proposed claims for compliance with FDA labeling and promotion requirements, and coordinate with Regulatory Affairs on claim substantiation, off-label risk, and interactions with FDA guidance.
• Build practical legal tools embedding claim substantiation and consumer protection compliance into the marketing development process.    
• Serve as a key legal liaison to Regulatory Affairs, Clinical, Quality, Medical, Product, and Marketing on claim and compliance matters and support legal review for clinical trials and research initiatives that inform marketing claims.
• Partner with cross-functional legal teams to monitor developments in FDA and FTC advertising and promotion, clinical research, and consumer protection law, and translate them into practical, actionable guidance

The ideal candidate will have:

• Juris Doctor from an ABA-accredited law school
• Active bar membership in at least one US jurisdiction and eligible to practice in house in your state of residence
• 5+ years of experience practicing at a law firm and/or in-house
• Substantive experience reviewing advertising and promotional claims, ideally for FDA-regulated products (drugs, devices, cosmetics, or dietary supplements)
• Working knowledge of FDA and FTC advertising and promotion requirements and claim substantiation standards
• Ability to make sound, practical judgments quickly in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with cross-functional partners
• Ability to balance legal risk with business objectives and offer creative, workable solutions
