Director, European and UK Public Policy at whatnot

This role is designed for a seasoned public policy expert with at least 7 years of experience navigating the regulatory landscapes of the UK and EU. The ideal candidate is a strategic advocate who understands the nuances of e-commerce, platform liability, and consumer protection. You should be equally comfortable drafting high-level strategy for senior leadership as you are engaging directly with policymakers in Brussels and London. This is a high-impact leadership position within a rapidly scaling "unicorn" marketplace. While the role is remote-friendly, you must be based near the London hub for periodic in-person collaboration. The benefits package is exceptionally robust, featuring a "dogfooding" budget to use the app, comprehensive family planning and childcare allowances, and a 16-week parental leave policy with a gradual return-to-work program. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have an established network among European regulators and industry groups. * Can translate complex legislative changes into actionable business advice for Product and Legal teams. * Thrive in a fast-paced environment where you manage external consultants across multiple jurisdictions. * Are passionate about the intersection of social media, livestreaming, and retail.
