Deputy General Counsel

Sarasota, FL or Remote

RUM Group Inc. is an AI infrastructure and video company. Its Quake AI business delivers AI compute as a service, operating AI data centers including GPU and CPU compute, storage, and networking at scale. Rumble, RUM Group's video business and the original tenant of Quake AI, provides creators and enterprises a full suite of video technologies, unlocking reach, scale, and monetization. RUM Group is building the rails of the agentic-first enterprise: the AI compute, cloud infrastructure, and trust layer for the agentic AI future, advancing RUM Group's mission to maximize the power of human imagination.

RUM Group Inc. is seeking a Deputy General Counsel to provide broad legal leadership across litigation, regulatory matters, compliance, employment issues, policy development, and day-to-day business counseling. This is a senior legal leadership role for an attorney who can serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership and business stakeholders while helping oversee the legal function across a company anchored in cloud and data center infrastructure through its Quake AI business, alongside its Rumble video platform. The Deputy General Counsel will work closely with the General Counsel and serve as a key legal leader capable of stepping in on behalf of the General Counsel when needed.

This role requires a practical, business-minded legal leader who can assess risk clearly, guide complex matters efficiently, and support a fast-moving organization with a broad range of legal and regulatory needs. You should be comfortable advising teams across Product, Finance, Human Resources, Sales, Procurement, Operations, and Technology, while helping the business navigate litigation, investigations, compliance, and policy issues that come with operating scaled cloud, AI, and data center infrastructure as well as a large-scale video platform. The Deputy General Counsel will also coordinate closely with legal experts and outside counsel in multiple jurisdictions, supporting international regulatory approvals, data center operations, and cross-border transactions arising from RUM Group's global infrastructure footprint. Success in this role requires sound legal judgment, excellent communication, and the ability to balance legal risk with business objectives in a dynamic environment.

The ideal candidate brings deep experience from a law firm, in-house legal department, or a combination of both, with a strong background in litigation, compliance, and strategic counseling. This person will help strengthen the legal function as RUM Group continues to grow in cloud and AI infrastructure and video, supporting legal operations, outside counsel management, risk mitigation, and scalable processes across evolving business priorities. The right candidate will be comfortable operating as both a senior legal advisor and a hands-on leader who can move fluidly between high-level strategy and day-to-day execution.

Responsibilities

Serve as a trusted legal advisor to the General Counsel, executive leadership, and business stakeholders on a broad range of legal, regulatory, litigation, employment, compliance, and commercial matters.

Conduct and oversee internal investigations and responses to subpoenas, audits, regulatory inquiries, and government requests. Design, implement, and monitor legal and compliance policies, controls, and training programs across relevant areas of the business. Provide practical day-to-day legal advice to teams across Finance, Human Resources, Sales, Procurement, Product, Information Technology, Operations, and other business functions as needed. Monitor legal and regulatory developments and recommend policy, process, and operational changes to reduce risk and support compliant growth.

Coordinate with legal experts and outside counsel in multiple countries on matters related to international regulatory approvals, data center development and operations, cloud and AI infrastructure, and cross-border commercial arrangements, including issues arising from the Northern Data/Quake AI data center portfolio. Help lead legal department operations, including outside counsel management, budgeting, prioritization, and process improvements that support a scalable and effective legal function across RUM Group's business lines, including Quake AI and the Rumble video platform.
