With a media-buying platform that helps brands deliver a more insightful and relevant ad experience for consumers — and sets a new standard for global reach, accuracy, and transparency.

So if you’re talented, driven, creative, and hungry to bring something entirely new and wildly ambitious into the world (and have some fun doing it), then we want to talk.

  • Keep abreast of legislative changes that may affect the company globally
  • Communicate complex legal concepts in layman’s terms
  • Continually improve our legal processes to help us scale globally with a consistent but locally relevant approach

WHO YOU ARE:

  • 8+ years of experience working in an internationally/nationally-recognized law firm or in house legal department
  • Admitted to practice in New York or California or the ability to register as In-House Counsel in New York or California
  • Juris doctorate from a top-ranked US law school required
  • Strong business sense and ability to exercise good business judgement is critical
  • Effective communicator, with the ability to interact with internal and external constituents at all levels
  • Superior analytical skills with a creative and pragmatic problem-solving approach
  • Excellent legal skills, including significant experience in structuring, drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a variety of transactional agreements.
  • Strong commitment to providing responsible, timely, and top-quality client service with superior work product is necessary
  • Ability to thrive in fast paced environment
  • Excellent interpersonal skills (sense of humor is a big plus)
  • General understanding of intellectual property, online and mobile advertising, and data issues required
  • Background in advertising, privacy, and/or digital media is preferred
  • International experience a plus
  • Please include a cover letter outlining your interest in the role.
