Job description

About ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.
We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $11B - multiples of 11, always.
We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:
  • ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.
  • ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.
  • ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.

Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.
How we work
  • High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
  • Impact not job titles: We don't have job titles. Instead, it's about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.
  • AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company-from engineering to growth to operations.
  • Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.
  • Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.

What we offer
  • Innovative culture: You'll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
  • Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.
  • Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.
  • Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.
  • Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy.
  • Co-working: If you're not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.

About the role
We are seeking an exceptional IP Counsel to join the ElevenLabs Legal Team. ElevenLabs is at the frontier of AI-generated audio and voice - which means we're also at the frontier of some of the most interesting and consequential IP questions in the industry right now. Copyright law, content licensing, and IP strategy for generative AI are being written in real time, and you'll have a front-row seat for it all.
As our second IP Counsel, you'll have the opportunity to partner closely with product, engineering, research, and commercial teams across a host of intellectual property issues, including copyright, rights of publicity, trademarks, and trade secrets. You'll counsel on IP risk in model development and outputs, structure and negotiate licensing deals across our platforms, and help build the frameworks that protect and extend ElevenLabs' IP position as we scale.
This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who wants to do substantive legal work - not manage process - at one of the fastest-moving AI companies in the world.
Who You Are
  • Curious about the future of AI and emerging technologies, have a strong sense of ownership with enthusiasm for applying your legal expertise in a cutting-edge, global company.
  • Experienced in navigating fast-paced, high-growth environments, with the ability to manage ambiguity and make informed, timely decisions.
  • Comfortable working independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional and global colleagues, as well as working with outside counsel across jurisdictions.
  • Proactive, business-minded, and committed to delivering practical solutions that support both compliance and company success.
  • Hunger to be exceptional at your job.

Required Qualifications
  • JD with active membership in at least one U.S. state bar or law degree and qualification to practice law in the U.K.
  • 6+ years of experience advising on intellectual property issues, including copyright and/or trade secrets.
  • Experience drafting and negotiating complex IP-related transactions, including licensing agreements.
  • Strong command of the IP issues unique to generative AI companies.
  • Excellent business judgment, writing skills, and attention to detail.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with content distribution and licensing in the media, entertainment, music, or publishing industries.
  • Experience managing IP risk in a software development environment.
  • Law firm and in-house experience.

Location
This role is remote-first, so it can be executed from anywhere in the United States or the United Kingdom. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in New York, San Francisco, or London.
