Counsel - AI (Innovation & Trust), Commercial & Procurement
KAYAK, part of Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), is a leading travel search engine. With billions of queries across our platforms, we help people find their perfect flight, stay, rental car, and vacation package. We're also transforming business travel with a new corporate travel solution, KAYAK for Business.
As an employee of KAYAK, you will be part of a travel company that operates a portfolio of global metasearch brands including momondo, Cheapflights and HotelsCombined, among others. From start-up to industry leader, innovation is in our DNA, and every employee has an opportunity to make their mark. Our focus is on building the best travel search engine to make it easier for everyone to experience the world.
KAYAK's Legal & Compliance team is looking for a builder-minded attorney who sits at the intersection of AI, law, and technology. This role is responsible for designing and operating the AI-powered legal systems that let a lean team scale — and for serving as KAYAK's primary counsel on AI governance, commercial agreements, and product compliance. The Counsel – AI & Commercial translates a rapidly evolving technology and regulatory landscape into practical, business-ready guidance that keeps KAYAK moving forward with confidence.
This is not a traditional legal role. You will be our in-house expert developer of legal AI agents. That means you will look at a recurring legal process — such as contract triage, AI tool intake, NDA review, or regulatory horizon scanning — and turn it into a repeatable, AI-powered system the business can use on its own. Our goal is to move from handling requests one at a time to running scalable agent workflows that let a lean team do more.
You will also serve as KAYAK's go-to counsel on AI governance. You will run the process that decides how AI tools are approved, contracted, and used across the company, and you will advise on AI-enabled product features and KAYAK for Business (K4B) enterprise deals.
