WHAT YOU'LL DO

    • Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of corporate and commercial agreements, including equity and debt financings, M&A transactions, and private placements

    • Support fundraising and corporate structuring activities — investor communications, due diligence, and closing processes

    • Partner with Finance and Business Development on strategic transactions and joint ventures

    • Advise on corporate governance, subsidiary management, and regulatory compliance

    • Handle commercial contracting across technology licensing, data sharing, and vendor agreements

    • Help build scalable legal processes and documentation templates

    • Collaborate with Product, Operations, and Data teams to address legal questions around data use, technology, and innovation

WHO YOU ARE

    • J.D. from a well-regarded law school and active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

    • 2–5 years of experience at a top-tier law firm or in-house legal department, focused on corporate law, M&A, capital markets, or PE/VC transactions

    • Strong command of corporate structures, capitalization, and securities compliance

    • Proven ability to juggle multiple projects and deliver practical, business-first legal advice under tight deadlines

    • Excellent drafting, communication, and negotiation skills

    • Prior exposure to technology, data, or digital media sectors is a strong plus

    • Collaborative, proactive, and energized by variety — no two days look the same here

WHY SAMBA

    • Work directly with senior leadership on high-impact deals and strategic transactions

    • Join a lean, high-trust legal team where your work moves the needle

    • Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
