  About The Job
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 We&rsquo;re seeking a highly motivated Associate Counsel to join our dynamic legal team at Hopper. This role offers the opportunity to work on complex, cutting-edge tax matters in the digital travel and e-commerce space. The ideal candidate will have 3+ years of experience at a top-tier law firm and/or in-house legal department, with a strong preference for those who have worked in technology, online services, or platform-based industries.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 In this role, you will report to the Deputy General Counsel and work closely with product leads, and other senior business partners to provide advice on complex tax matters impacting Hopper&rsquo;s global business, and deliver practical advice for intricate questions relating to federal, state and international tax questions.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 This fully remote position requires a self-starter who can manage projects independently and proactively identify legal and business risks. The Associate Counsel will identify and implement innovative solutions to cross-border remittance and indirect tax (VAT/DST/sales tax) issues. The role will also involve navigating intercompany and intracompany tax structures, coordinating with finance, accounting, and product teams to ensure compliance and strategic efficiency.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Beyond tax, we&rsquo;re looking for a collaborative problem-solver who can contribute across the legal function&mdash;offering support on corporate, regulatory, or commercial matters as business needs evolve. This is a great opportunity for someone eager to make an impact in a fast-paced, digital-first environment while building expertise at the intersection of law, technology, and global commerce.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  Responsibilities
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 The Associate Counsel will serve as a primary legal advisor on U.S. and international tax matters, providing guidance on the application of VAT, sales and use tax, and other indirect tax regimes affecting the company&rsquo;s global operations. This includes analyzing the tax implications of pricing, fee structures, and marketplace transactions, as well as monitoring evolving legislation and regulatory changes in key markets. The role will require partnering closely with external advisors, finance, and compliance teams to ensure that tax policies and reporting practices align with legal obligations and business goals. A strong understanding of cross-border tax frameworks and experience managing audits, inquiries, and correspondence with tax authorities will be valuable in this role.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 In addition, the Associate Counsel will play a key role in structuring intercompany transactions and transfer pricing arrangements, ensuring consistency with both domestic and international tax requirements. This includes advising on internal cost allocations, service agreements, and intellectual property transfers between business entities, as well as supporting the preparation of tax documentation and disclosures. The candidate will also assist in the development and implementation of tax governance frameworks, internal controls, and compliance processes to mitigate risk and enhance operational efficiency. The ability to communicate complex tax concepts in clear business terms will be essential for success in this highly collaborative and strategic position.
