- Identify, assess, and manage legal risks arising from business operations, recommending mitigation strategies and scalable processes
- Assist with compliance programs, including policy development, training, and implementation of internal controls related to privacy, information security, and commercial practices
- Respond quickly and effectively to a diverse array of legal questions, demonstrating strong generalist skills and the ability to “tackle anything that comes across your desk.”
- Contribute to the development and improvement of legal workflows, templates, playbooks, and scalable processes to support a fast-growing technology organisation
- Stay current on relevant laws and industry trends, particularly in technology, privacy, AI, commercial contracting, and consumer protection, and communicate implications to stakeholders
Our take
Back in 2011, TaskRabbit took full advantage of a growing trend - that technology enables consumers to do more commerce in their homes than ever before. Its marketplace connects users to "Taskers" that can perform virtually any role customers require, such as heavy lifting and cleaning.
TaskRabbit's product is diverse, with the potential to enter any commerce sector in the world. In 2017, the company was acquired by IKEA, which gave it the resources to undergo a data-driven European expansion which included launching in Germany and France, as well as increasing services in densely-populated UK areas.
By developing internationally, while also emphasising its offerings as a delivery service, the company has set itself up on the world stage. Having continued to grow and expand its offerings, TaskRabbit remains a key player in the gig economy, with every sign that it will continue its successes into the future.
